Our problems
Seem so big
Until someone
With bigger problems
Tells us
About theirs.

Someday
"Are you a woman?"
She asks
With such disdain
And my heart stumbles

"Are you a woman?"
He mocks me
And for a fleeting moment
I consider

Truth or lie or silence -
My heartbeat quickens
And in a perfect world
I'm loud and clear -

"No"
they say "don't dare,
don't you even go there,
cutting off your long hair,
you do as you're told"

Times get tough
Pray
Dealing with the wrong people
Pray
Things aren't going right
Pray
Not feeling it
Pray
Internal struggle
Pray
All the bad leads to right
By praying

Bones
I wear bright colors to feel noticed
I wear clothes to cover up things people don't like
I wear things that I want to wear.
Sheer, ripped and beautiful

Beauty

Beauty.
Do you know what that is?
I think not.
I thought I knew it too.
But beauty is not objective.
It is not attractive.
Beauty is realness.
Beauty is finding joy
And light too
Within the dark curtain
Of night.

Use to argue such a waste of time
Clearly wrong so made it personal
Attacking personal flaws unrelated to the topic
Tried to be more informative not impose
Respectful of others choices and decisions
Don't care for manipulation or force
It's okay to disagree with one another
Respect one anothers opinions
Some think highly of others
While some don't value other beings
Everyone s different and that's alright
I am fine,
Like a flatline.

This room is so crowded
I barely have space to breath.
People try and chat with me
Their sound resembling a buzzing bee-
I don’t know if it’s just me-
But I still feel incomprehensibly lonely.
“ You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.”
