Like Plath said
“dying is an art”
and though someday
we will all be
masters of such
a sad and sweet artistry
It is an art form
for which I would
happily delay
my graduation day.
No room for me
The little creatures that lurk in my head,
They say there is no room for me
I don't posses the required amount of instability
It takes to be me
So they will do it instead
They will rewire me and fix me
These little hollow things will fill me
Then I shall be hallow too
I love you more than
My heart and mind
Have the capacity for
But nothing could scare me away
Make me walk out the door

I love you more than
Endless words that are
Impossible to say
Ones that won’t do you justice
At the end of the day

I love you more than
That song I play on repeat
The one that helps me pick up the pieces
In the midst of a defeat

The fact is I love you
More than fiction
Allows me to
Escape what we call reality
Because you are better than any fantasy

I love you more than
Lazy days gone by
Ones that never
Make me want to cry


I love you more
Than you’ll ever know
I hope one day I’ll be able
To show it and I hope
One day you’ll feel it too
Does that make him
Strong
In your eyes?

His facade is
All you want to see
No matter the pain and
How much he dies inside
Trying to hold it together

He has too many
Questions
He wonders
Why
Why must I hide my tears?
Why do they make me weak?
Why can’t I just cry?
Why. Why. Why.
Nobody dares answer

He feels like some
Emotionless freak
A robot who will die
With these volts of electricity
But he must hold back
Conform to
Society’s standards of
Strength for men

Just because you never
See his tears
Or glimmers
Staining his cheeks
Doesn’t make them any less real

One day soon
They will all fall down
Drowning him
Those feelings he hid
Bubbling up to the surface
Shattering every expectation
You gave him
Fluffy puppies all around
Hiding bones underground
Failing to not make any sound

Inside, outside sniffing the air
Of their surroundings they are aware
They don’t do it to give you a scare
They want to show you that they care

Chihuahuas, Chow Chows, corgis too
Enough breeds to fill a zoo

Too many breeds to name
I love them all the same

While every puppy is great
Mine was brought to me by fate
Not a moment too late

My puppy makes my heart full
Life with him is never dull

While my dog may drive me crazy
He is forever my baby

You must take the wound,
Face it,
Squeeze it,
Bite it,
**** out the venom,
Spit out the venom,
Gather comfrey,
Dress the once wound,
Bandage it,
Let it SCAR (it is now a reminder in this phase),
LET IT HEAL

Preachers have more plagiarized content than singers.
The old man I met on the sidewalk told me one of the Beach Boys locked himself in a basement and created his own fraction of notes, his own harmonies.
I create a thought to push my voice from my gut out my mouth into the air.
Now wiggling vibrations mingle with oxygen molecules and the place in space is rearranged.
I created traction.
This is it.

Entropic threats loom and I told them to ******* from the start.
Shouldn't is transparent because it plays warning fair.
I tell my toes to move and they do.
You're next.

So, much pain,
So, much pain a woman has to go through,
We give, and give, and give,
But in return,
We bleed, and bleed, and bleed,
Both,
Internally and externally,
Both,
By strangers and loved ones.

We are asked, and asked, and asked,
Asked to give,
Asked to do,
Asked to stop.

Asked to give our dignity,
Ask to do tasks, more than our body can handle,
Asked to stop believing, we,
Have a future,
A future,
That involves euphoria, and tranquility,
But in reality,
It’s just, pain and hurt and abuse and, non-stop, unconsented ***,
****.

When,
Will, it end?
When?
When will we be permitted human rights?
When can our daughters, go out during the night, or even the day, without the fear of being robbed their home and dignity,
When can we women not be blamed for others invading parts of our body that we didn’t ask for, that fits manhood,
When will we stop being tools that prove masculinity,
When will we be granted wings to fly so high, without the fear of being ogled at all of us that shakes,
Again something we, never, did ask for.

When can we be human?
When can I be human?
When can I be my dad,
When can I be my brother,
When can I be my husband,
When can I be that stranger,
That male stranger there,
When can I be treated equally as men?

Loving you was optional,
But falling for you wasn't,
Loving you was within the boundaries of my heart,
But falling for you was a matter of life, and death .


But now it's gone,
Everything,
All the love and care and obsession,
It's all gone,
I gave you my all,
But you parcelled it in a pretty box,
Played with it,
And threw it back at my face,
As if it was a temporary gift.


But now it's gone,
Everything,
All the love and care and obsession,
It's all gone,
But, the pain you inflicted upon my deep sincere vulnerable soul, isn't,
It still aches,
Such pain, that dictates both my bleeding heart, and my demented mind.


I guess,
It isn't all gone,
I guess my feelings just drifted to another route,
The hate route.
