Love
Eat
Is that the lowest moment?
When you don't dare to wear shorts because of the scars that cover your legs.
And then you're sitting there at the dinner table with your family,
And they keep on telling you to eat,
But all you mutter is "I'm not hungry",
When you actually are.
You're starving but your image is worth more than a meal.
You eat a few bites just to shut them up,
And then run to the bathroom to rid yourself of it,
To make sure you can fit into those jeans,
The ones that could stand you losing another 5 pounds.
You get used to the lies of:
"I'm not hungry"
"I ate before I came"
And "oh yeah I'm fine, just tired".
Is that your lowest point,
When the only food you're feeding yourself is lies?
you want us to live in fear and we sure do
Parents scared to let their daughters go
worried they won’t come back or when they do they will be broken shells of who they were before
We travel in packs because we are scared that we will be cornered alone and unable to fight back
phones becoming extensions of ourselves because they might give us a fighting chance
Making excuses for those who do us wrong
and blaming us for what we wish we could change
We don’t like feeling weak
we don’t want to be at your mercy
We don’t have a choice
Till you give us a voice

she said,
"don't grow up,"
and i replied,
"my darling,
it's a bit too late for that.
the fun and games
have ended.
the curtains
are closing.
the adrenaline
is fading.
the smiles
are dying.
the hearts
are breaking.
and i feel
i have lived
a thousand lifetimes,
each one lacking
a childhood."

(a.m.)
welcome to reality. enjoy your stay.

jerely
The sun rise as your beauty widen naturally
The fragrance of the beautiful sunshine
Corresponds the butterfly as they
step toward its soft petals
Your smile that will never fades
are the most wonderful thing
in this World.

You are so adorable
that even the stars from the galaxy
they could chase you
From the moment you've opened
your eyes in this World
I'm glad that you became my Mother
And I'm lucky to be your daughter

You are like a superhero of our century
The way you are,that makes you precious
The way you handle everything
I salute you for being strong
and brave enough

You are so positive for having and taking
the courage to live this life
You are one of a kind
Simply amazing Mom
That I couldn't ask for anything else
Except you,

And I lovingly tell you the truth
I really enjoyed everything about you
Cause in who you are right now
Is the most brilliant and spectacular
thing that we could ever had
As this day bless you with
great joy &
another years to come.

I greet you a "Happy Birthday"
As you grow older,
Always remember
That you are always
Love.
Today is my mom's birthday! So i made  a special poet just for you. Happy birthday!!! Mama
I love you so much :)

I found -in the shadow of a
Crane rigged and ready- that
I couldn't help myself.

Took a ladder to the huge sphere
Of chipped and battered iron,  
And threw one leg on either
Side of the chain.

Sang leaning and rocking
Into the walkie talkie
As my foreman spat his
Coffee not to choke; laughing along
With Swedes, Polish, Lithuanians
And Norwegians alike.

Miley. Bringing people
Together.
