"Plastic world"

"Plastic life"
"Plastic world"
"Plastic boy"
"Plastic girl"
"Plastic surrounds me"
"It makes me feel fake"
"I mean, everyone is artificial for goodness sake!"
"There bodies aren't natural"
"So isn't their minds"
"They live life in this plastic world"
"Yet I'm slowly falling behind"
"Behind the curtains they put on their plastic faces"
"And spend another day in this plastic life"
"Everything and one oh so fake"
"Its as if nothing really exists at all"
"Maybe its the plastic society we live in"
"Its sad we as humans have come to this"
"To where everything is plastic"
"Everything is fake"
"Nothing is real"
Nothing truly exists
ouuuu oh so dramatic arent i?

Speak up!
Uncover your veil
Stand up your right
You are vast and infinite

Unbind these sick systems
And uproot all interconnected stems
Blossom high up to the sky
A room is nothing with the universe

Speak up!
Chin up, show your smile
Walk with pride for thousand miles
Little girl, my dear
You are vast and infinite.
This is an impromptu poem because the reading in our History of World Religions, which is all about the status of women in different religions, has been wandering around my mind. See, my english somehow makes no sense hehe.

Her
one of my earliest memories
is the day my grandmother
taught me how to float in the pool
it took me a few tries
before she let go of my body
above the water

she let me go
all on my own
without me even realizing

i remember looking over at her
and seeing her
great big smile
she then said to me

my girl
this is a life lesson
never believe that you need
to hold onto someone
to get things done
know that all you have is yourself
and know you are strong enough
to hold yourself up all on your own
