you call women *******,
but men bosses.
you force women to cover up,
but men walk around half naked.
you call us ***** for having ***,
but men are praised for it.
you tell us what to do with our bodies,
but men refuse to do the same to theirs.  
you say it was our fault,
but we never asked to be sexualized.
you say you want a strong man,
but i am a strong woman.

we are equals,
we deserve respect,
we demand more.

we are women,
and we are powerful.

sometimes self-care looks like
blocking their contact
not because you've moved on
but because you haven't.

i didn't eat for four days
so i could feel small.
the sound of my stomach rumbling
gives me comfort
because that means
i'm thin.
being full is something i hate.

Her eyes glowed
However her pain never showed
As she looked straight into my eyes
She lied that she was fine
I can’t blame her though
I did the same exact thing

i was the sun,
you were the moon

we fit together like puzzle pieces,
but nothing lasts forever.

we've always had a rough relationship.
i either refuse or simply can't.
i ate half a muffin yesterday because my father watched me.
i ate a slice of pizza at school because my friend was concerned.
it was all fine because i threw it up after.

alone in my room:
silently screaming,
a pain in my heart.

i finally let myself feel this.
