I think sometimes my nose is pulled so high into the air that I am a skyscraper
that my ears hear only Birds
that my skin feels only wind
but my ears
that is not what they hear

they hear
“hey baby”
“****... girl...”
“What u doin all alone”

my skin-
feels their hands
feels their selfish - dominance
their greed, for my, body

so my nose, goes higher up.
while my heart, sinks further down
I cannot ignore their words,
or rather, I should not ignore their words for my own protection
because that makes me feisty
makes me unattractive
makes me stingy
to withhold myself from their, greedy, hands
so I must respond
or at least acknowledge
be confident
be ignorant
pretend you didn't know it was anything more than a compliment
flash them a smile
continue walking

and Oh...
don't forget to say
thank you.
this isn't to say everyone on the streets makes me feel this way, or that there aren't kind/appropriate ways to deliver genuine compliments. It's just to express what I just began to understand about myself to be my second nature.

Define pain
And what it has done to you.
It has made you
Who you are.

It makes
Or breaks us.

It opens doors
We thought were closed.

Why do we neglect pain
If it makes us who we are?
I don't know. I myself have low tolerance for pain.

maybe the worst day of the week isn't monday.

how do I get you to listen to me?
these words feel like venom slipping from my lips
but when they reach your ears it's as if the poison has turned into feathers and you pay no attention to them

how do I get you to listen?
there's so much I crave to say, so much I want you to hear
but alas it all goes unsaid because you'll never care anyway

how do I get you to listen?
I have relinquished every part of myself to you
but you, you ignore all the parts of me that don't give you some sort of ****** pleasure and I am left to feel worthless, like another book on the shelf
left unread, untouched, just pretty to look at and skim when it satisfies your wants.

Just because you have a *****
Doesn’t mean you are a man
There’s a chance you worship Venus
And you just don’t give a ****
You’re a six-pack in Adidas
Or two ******* in high heels
We ignore the hate they feed us
Only counts is what you feels

you should send your love elsewhere
the person you love does not care

I want you to hurt my hurt.
Feel my Pain.
Run you through.
All encompassing.
Unforgiving.
Destroy everything in the path.
Until we are both clean.
And there is nothing left.

So maybe you can see.
What you have taken away from me.

You are a confusing, wind of destruction.
I can’t outrun you.
I’m not even going to try.
Why am I unable to escape it?
Am I just that weak for you?
Am I stupid for being brave?
I’m fighting to survive.
Piece by piece you are wearing me down.
To a crumbled pile.

Movement is leaving me.
Even if I knew where to crawl,
I don’t know if I have the strength.

Face down.
Ignore your howl.
Pace yourself.
This is going to take a while.

Optimism will have to stay.
It has to be enough.
So that someday you may be finally gone.
Gone. Gone far away.
I recently had forgiven someone that had broken my heart and tried to stay good friends, which we were before for quite some time, before the heart break. It was impossible for me to catch feelings for her again. We had discussed it in length. It was good. Days later I could tell we were going to be on the same destructive path. Don't date co-workers.
