Negative Nancy
I guess I wanted you more, that's why I let you hurt me the way you did. Tore me down till I was worthless, But in the pictures you don't see the tears I shed The photos taken between tear stained nights will never show the way you hurt me so. I guess I wanted you more, as I tried to overlook the way you spoke to me. Degrading and demeaning - never worthy of your time. But when I look back at our memories no-one could have seen the way I was dying inside Because these pictures are so good at hiding all the hurt! I guess I wanted you more, By the way I fought for you through all the pain. Maybe it was a moment of weakness, But I hated myself more with you, then on my own. So while I fight for my freedom At least now I know, I don't need you! I don't need you anymore!

Pictures - good at hiding the hurt
She has brought us down But never mind that Because I must pretend And write beautiful words for her. She would never be our choice, But she was chosen, so I Must make her a pretty mask To hide herself behind So others can call her pretty.

a mask to make her pretty
Why do we treat each other this way? Feels like our words are only a chain . . . Sister-chained             why do you treat me this way? Sister-chained             How do I get you to change? Sister-chained             why oh why? Oh why, even today,             I'm sister-chained? Noth-ing but pain, Born to be sisters except for this pain, That pain, the words, pain it remains. . . Sister-chained conflict between us al-ways remains, conflict between us remains. Sister-chained             unchain your hearts for love. Oh woe, Sister-chained             How do I get you to change?             unchain your hearts for love. Oh woe, Oh woe. . .

How dare society make us women feel like Our very own bodies is a prison, To be locked up behind the metal bars of our ******* Tied up by the chains of our curvy figures And the sentence lying between our thighs. And the sentence is brutal. Consent is no longer existent When the *** is too tempting for a man to say no And for you to say no. Our butts slapped, Chests groped, Cheeks pinched, Thighs squeezed, In this prison we had the decency to call our own body We are handcuffed to the degrading appetite of a man. Women are not a display of things to touch We are not a dessert menu for a man’s hunger To be ordered by catcalling: Want a taste of a woman’s behind? **** that *** A taste of **** Oh, baby, put on a show for us! Or just the full course meal- Hey girl, ow ow owwww! It is about time we strong women break free. The jailor of men- I stole the key. It is about time we change out of our prison uniforms of Bikinis and mini skirts and stilettos And break down the locks that confined us. Our prison sentence is just about up, And when we are let loose, Us women will no longer stand for such debasing behaviors. And when we’re free, It’ll be time to teach the men a little lesson This cage of our body does not define us, boys, Maybe try finding the prisoner behind the bars- Her personality, Charming smile, And brilliant intellect, Instead of demeaning our existence, Objectifying our importance- We are not your tools, your toys. We are humans, too, you know, With- get this- feelings. Try manners and kindness rather than Feeling and groping your way to a woman’s heart. We are not a play museum- we are the artifact, The masterpiece- Mona Lisa, Starry Night, the Sistine Chapel- You must stand behind the red velvet ropes and perform What the English language calls respect, With a thing also known as consent. This- my body- is also known as my body, It is not his, it is not hers, and most importantly, It is not yours. Please try to understand this- I know, it’s super complicated. And if you gain anything from this, let it be this: We are not here to satisfy you- Women are not prisoners to a man’s every need. We are not objects- no- And we deserve to be heard.

I stare at myself in the mirror Picking and degrading every single curve, bump, and blemish Labeling myself as unworthy of human affection Degrading what I physically cannot change And hating what I can change but chose not to I am quick to blame myself for the littlest of things And say sorry more than I probably should Even for the things I had no part in I set these barriers almost impossible to penetrate But I dwell on the smallest of things said about me Letting them tear me down mentally until I give in and believe them But in this world In this society In this generation All we can do is try to build our walls higher and higher Until we are finally tired of building

In This Generation
You degrade me, push me down, and hurt me. But yet I would take on a army for you. You make me cry, you make my soul sting, my heart clench up. But yet I would take a bullet for you. You notice my scars, then tell me to smile. But all you do, it's impossible for me to smile. I etch some more into my arm, afraid of disappointing you, the one who caused these wounds. "Don't yell." I proclaim. I may not be able to smile. But my flesh can.

It's like right from wrong becomes irrelevant when it comes down to the person you love. You know you're not being treated how u should but you ignore it, due to pure fear of loosing them or simply not having them. I know I should be number 1 but I'm accommodating to less than that because of love? Is it love? Or is it the desire of something forbidden. This pain is paralyzing. I need her.   I want her. If I think about how her arms, How her body completely held mine I can still feel it. I can still smell her scent. I cry. The exact same tears I shed as she held me. Emotional overwhelment. difference is, I'm actually alone. She's not holding me anymore. She has her own person. So she can survive without me. I was just a distraction. Yet she still acts and Perseus and brainwashes me as if I were superior to her number 1. It's all so messed up, it's all so degrading, and simply wrong, And I am choosing to ignore it. Which is also wrong. But how could I not talk to her? How could I cut her out when she's crawled in so deep. I need to get her out. And keep her out. I am not the other woman.   I have my flaws. But my potential is not of thee to be in this position. So I scream **** her I don't need her I can do this" In hopes of one day believing it. Maybe one day her voice won't make me melt. Maybe one day this will all just be a memory just as every other person, who has come into my world and left with pieces leaving me with less of myself. Maybe.

yes, i'm short, and i know you can touch the sky while i can't. why have you never offered me a seat on your shoulders, though? yes, i'm short, however, i could do without you reminding me that nobody wants to draw the short straw. yes, i'm short, but that doesn't mean you should absorb all of the sun as i shrivel up in your shadow. yes, i'm short, yet i still like to feel like i am not.
