I want to do
nothing but good.

But when doing it
for me,

There is guilt in
being selfish.
Ally Gottesman Mar 2018
Having a million
Stories to tell
But lacking the
Proper words

Having a
Brilliant vision
But unable to
Paint it

Wanting nothing
More than to create
But the motivation
Is absent

But we try
And we try
Again

Men,
We are not delicate
We are not frills
We are not damsels
We do not need sheltering

Women,
We are strong
A community
A force for change
We are marching forward

Girls,
You are beautiful
You are individual
You are perfect

Sisters,
Love who you love
Chase your biggest fears
Link hands as we rise
And change the world
For International Women's Day

Burn your thoughts of me
To a ******* crisp
All the falsities
All the rumors

Burn what you believe of me
To ash, and ****
Those who wronged
Those who lied

Burn your judgements of me
To the ground
Let the smoke rise
Let the wounds mend

Burn your thoughts of me
To a ******* crisp
Tell me your truth
I'll help you to cleanse

A clock ticks time,
A heart beats fast.
Her mouth whisper spells,
she couldn't cast.
The lies lie down,
beneath her lips.
Loving a man,
for his blood.
They were cursed,
under the full moon.
Blood for blood,
death in love.
For when I remember I used to write poetry based on fantasy.  This one tells a love tale between a cursed witch (her) and a grim reaper (his) .
