Lo Jan 2023
The reason you say
you've had enough is because
you don't feel you are.
Liv Apr 2020
This is the poem.

The one about
growing up,
moving out,
and getting older
You'll come to learn that
heartache is only but
a scratch and that jubilation
is a thing of the past,
found on the second star to the right.
How its possible to be as cold as ice,
even in the summer months
And how welcoming
rock bottom (the depths of hell)
can truly be when salvation
feels unattainable
I wish that I could wrap
your tender soul in the clouds
of yesterday to protect you
from the winters to come
They say that diamonds are best
created under pressure
But I say,
diamonds are overrated
wash your hands and take care! - This is about a dear friend of mine whose courage mimics 1000 lives lived.

because I was raised that having my *** touched was to "take it as a compliment"
because strolling on the streets is nearly impossible
because apparently rejecting a man is just not safe enough, so it's "much easier to give them a fake number"
because "No," simply cannot mean "No"
because women are not entitled to their own body
because "you're asking for it," by articles or clothing
because a hug isn't enough
because he was ***** and couldn't get you while you were conscious
because "boys will be boys"

— The End —
