Trembling storm door thwacks destruction and love of warm blankets keeps us cuddly cozy Pardon my saying violation inglorious heralds at our stoop Now being time for our recoiling Observing current circumstance shall we dress ourselves? In church clothes or bathrobes do we streak to chapel of the day My likeness in you says, "Yes!" We've twiddled toes enough We shan't wait much longer Tyrant floods come Poised indication tells us our love is rakish and rallies are arising Who knows where this storm goes? All I know is, I want you now

Sped Proposal
Her weary eyes, skin torn at the cuticle Feet aching yet marching still Cotton on the heir’s back Canvas on the feet of the dutchess Triple the hours, double the dough His crimson cheeks, toes purple with pride Not a single tear, nor a single fear No fuel for his ego No warmth for his heart Just a lonely street corner Their tear-stained dress, his voice, her choice Deep in their skin do they confess If God was real, he'd want perfect God wouldn't make them a sin A “he” or “she” is not needed The silent voice of forgotten Too afraid to speak, startled still Too afraid to be saved Gone but never forgotten A son or daughter, broken A wedding, thank this “God” Where men can act as such And women use their powder But genders may stay pure It is a sin, after all A young girl watching the news Filled with hate, this world turns She is coming of age, is she not? She understands their struggle And ready she is to stand up For she has kids to feed For he just needs a meal For they want to be real For they were never heard For they wed their own She understands. She accepts. She is ready.

Coming of age in the 21st century
I will befriend you because I must, not because I want to. You told me that what I believe in is wrong and what you believe in is right So tell me, it's right to strip away the right to love whomever you want. It's right to tell a girl she cannot terminate a pregnancy even though she was ***** It's wrong for women to want equality? It's wrong for me to be a feminist? This is where you are wrong, because I have grown up my entire life with views on how things should be. We should be able to love whomever we want. To terminate pregnancies if they need to. For women to get some equality because it's opinion. You can believe whatever you want, but do not tell me I am wrong because to me, my opinion is right and yours is wrong.
