#selfempowerment
It seems like you have had a change of heart want me to think you don't want to tear me apart Now you want me to forgive and to forget that you stabbed my heart with a bayonet It wasn't until I put my foot down told you I was through and stood my ground That you knew I was telling you the truth that I was really over me and you Now you're acting like you are a changed man You have seen the light, you give a **** You want the chance to prove your love again Given up on all your selfish demands Be who I need you to be as a man That I was right and you understand but there is something that I didn't forget believing in your lies is my biggest regret

I can’t keep being
the little girl
who survives on her father’s allowance.
As long as I believe
I can only live with the minimum,
I will accept crumbs.
As long as I feel small,
I will place myself
in small jobs,
small lives.
But this is not my truth.
I already know—
I am capable of more,
much more.
And if I don’t rise for myself,
no one will.

From ashes, I rise, no crown, no name,
Forged in fire, untamed by shame.
Each fall, a step, each scar, a light,
In darkness, I carve my endless fight.
I seek no praise, no fleeting fame,
I burn within, I am my flame.
Not for the weak, nor for the crowd—
I rise alone, unbroken, proud.
The world may tremble, the storm may roar,
But I will stand, forever more.
For strength is born from deepest pain,
And through the loss, I’ll rise again.

In their chaos,
I found the pulse of my soul.
Destiny wasn't theirs to give—
it was mine all along.

She who spoke with no love,
waited on external acceptance
That, it never came
She who found comfort in a shell
Delicate and golden, but unrecognizable
to a polluted mind
She who bowed to insecurity
Scoured and torched by internal pain
She no longer seeks to remain
And she no longer will.

Thought
be hard and course to the swallow
when its taste
be set on another's tongue
a scent
will sweeten its sour
to the very seed I plant it on

We all need someone to look at us
To see our light
And share our smile
An honest look at who we are
We all need someone to look at us
So why can’t that someone be me?

Great Grandma said it.
Grandma said it.
Dad Said it.
Mom said it.
Teachers said it.
Bosses said it.
Husband said it.
Children said it.
I said, Hell, no!

Until There Was Only Light
I looked at the darkness within
Two eyes of Light
Gave me a blink.
I smiled.
Watching expanding light
Dancing and whirling
Embracing the darkness
Until there was only Light.
Embracing the darkness
Dancing and whirling
Watching expanding light
I smiled.
Give me a blink
Two eyes of light
I looked at the darkness within
Until there was only Light.

I hate being held down,
Or someone thinking they have control over me.
It makes my knuckles twinge,
And my face burn.
Why would someone else control me,
Want to tell me what to do,
I don't even control me.
So who, in fact, are you?
You aren't my mother,
You aren't my father,
You're merely a friend.
But don't get me wrong, I don't want our friendship to end.
But it feels like you're smothering me,
Trying to chain me down,
Rip off my wings,
Or ****** down my crown.
But I won't let that happen,
So I'll cut the chains you've tried to use,
And I'll keep my wings above your reach,
And I will hold my head high,
And I will guard my crown.

With heavy eyes
And stiff bones
I say goodbye
To what was once
A home
I am afraid
I have to go
A brand new road
To be travelled alone
I won't forgot
All those good times
We had on late nights
And cheap moonshine
In my heart
I'll forever hold
As I say goodbye
To who was once a home

As free as a bird...in a cage
She trapped herself,
Into that flamboyant frame,
Trying to veil
Those dewy eyes.
She trapped herself,
Within that tailored smile
she was accustomed to
Her milieu was accustomed to,
Trying to conceal that usual heartache.
She trapped herself,
Inside that veil of sophistication,
Smothering that naiveness,
That unconsciously shoved her lips to expand into that charming curve,
Even at trivial affairs.
She trapped herself,
Defeated by that burden of expectations,
And unwillingly
Blocked that flame that always ignited her.
She trapped herself,
Deserted her reason for living...
Not just existing,
And existed, lost.
But,
Even that mere existence refused to welcome that defeat.
Her individuality dissuaded her from that suffocation,
And promptly removed that veil.
She was a fighter,
A militia fighting her demons
Gallantly.
Annihilating those fears,
Those self doubts
That hindered her conquests
To establish her purely sovereign empire.
She accepted gracefully
Her naiveness.
She embraced elegantly
Her gawkiness.
The lill flame ignited,
Metamorphosed into inferno.
She wore that invisible Crown,
All by herself.
She vehemently chased those dreams,
Those dreams, which once got her trembling,
Were now waiting,
To be seized by the Queen.
She emancipated that bird, from her lill cage,
And allowed her to measure the sky,
Unleasheing her rage.

You acted as if you were dumb
Just so you could be numb
Of all the hate that’s been thrown
Don’t you worry, soon you’ll be home
A long journey awaits you
The afterlife starts to knock
As if your life were already due
And towards it, you blindly walk
You start to collect anything sharp
As it made contact with the surface
Then you caress the wounded part
And thought “it’s the end of the race”
You hopelessly look around
With no hint of content
You sigh and look to the ground
Feeling like an awful accident
Even if you think
That you don’t deserve to see another sunrise
And even if you feel like you’re on a brink
Please don’t fill your head with lies
Don’t ever say that you’re not enough
Just because you feel alone
Deep inside, I know you’re tough
And you could survive this on your own
Yes, the world may bring you down
And turn your smile into a frown
but never let it get your way
And eat you up like a prey
I’ll willingly help you to put out the ember
And detach from the past
So you’ll never remember
What it’s like being an outcast

You kind of have this weird hate-love relationship with life and humanity.
Why don’t you just choose love?
Choose kindness.
Choose optimism.
Choose to do the work now.
Choose to jump in head first.
Choose to “Braveheart it”.
Choose to be prepared.
Choose to smile.
Choose happy.
It’s so crazy how just making a choice can change your life.
It is just as easy to be kind and happy as it is to be a total ******* filled with regret.
One could argue that it’s actually easier.
So make the choice.
Make the choice to change.
Make the choice to believe in the 21/90 rule!
Make the choice to be habitually content with yourself.
You are just as important as the people you take care of.
You are just as important!
Let that sink in.
You are important.
Everything will be okay in the end.
If it’s not okay, it’s not the end.
Remember that.
So let’s make that leap together:
let’s choose happy;
let’s choose self-love

"When all is said and done: don't walk, you better run. Girl, you better get out while you can. You think that this is love; you don't wanna give him up. If you stay he'll turn on you again" -Kelsey Hickman
I've realized
Abuse is abuse
No matter the format
No matter the medium
I believe it is finally
Time to move on
Time to move forward
Cut the ropes
To the bridge
Maybe even light a little fire
Or shoot off Roman candles
Either way
I must learn
To breathe
For myself

I can hope and I can dream
That you might still love me
If you swear that you'll be true
I will always love you
You had my heart
Once before
I never got it back after
Our war
You 've fooled me once
Now fooled me twice
There are tears burning my eyes
Here is the tale of an ordinary girl
She met a boy thinking he could be her world
She thought it was love at very first sight
He took her home and made her his queen that night
When she awoke too soon the next day
The place beside her was occupied by sun rays
The boy had left her all alone
Her heart was broke just like her throne
And she sang:
I can hope and I can dream
That you might still love me
If you swear that you'll be true
I will always love you
He lived his life out on the road
A different girl each night to forget his home
The girl he left behind in the dust
Shouldn't have left such an impact, but
He packed his bags of wandering
Closed his eyes and prayed that she
Might still be waiting
As he roamed:
He would hope and he would wish
That she still would love him
He left her heart all alone
But he hoped she'd still be home
He returned a week later
Saw on the door a note that hurt
She had moved on with her life
But she wished she could have been his wife
He called her to come back home
And she trusted with blind love
He lost his temper late one night
And she thought she lost her sight
He dropped to his knees and cried
Begging attempts and apologizing
She forgave him once again
It was in the morning when she left him
With her head held high
She whispered her cry:
I have hoped and I have dreamed
But you don't still love me
I know now you'll never be true
Yet I'll always love you
You had my heart
Once before
I'll never get it back, not after that war
You fooled me once
Now fooled me thrice
I still have tears staining my eyes
I can hope and I can dream
That I might love me
I swear to myself that I'll be true
One day I might not love you

Every time I see you
You're stronger than I remember
And I thought I had torn you down
I'll have to fix that
You seem taller
More confident
What's gotten into you
Since we last met
What the hell is this
You've never fought back
I was going to make you worthless again
I don't understand
Okay okay
You win, now **** off
Yeah, sure whatever, I'll leave you alone
But remember what I helped create
You've got guts kid
Even I can't argue that

After all the rage is run dry
And the rockets are set aside
The girl's not coming home
She ran water back and forth
'Cross the great lands on battlefield
She's seen horrors
That put grown men to sleep
She's nursed wounds that endlessly seep
But after the war out here
The girl's not coming home
She's not stopping or slowing
She's going to make a break for it
Because no amount of hellfire
Compares to what goes on
Behind domestically closed doors
The girl's not coming home
She's no valuables worth dropping in for
Because as soon as she enters
The threshold of the front door
It's another go round of fate worse death
And ****** all because
The girl's not coming home
She's learned from that mistake
Sometimes the one you marry
Isn't the one you loved all those years ago
Before **** went south and he backhanded your mouth
When the bottle made him rough
And you don't wanna play
Darling
The girl's not coming home
One time too many 'round that track
Lucky she has no kids
She'd leave them just the same
It ain't no way to live
In the twenty-firsf century
So everyone
The girl's not coming home

Is it too late to say, "I miss you"?
God, I hope so
Because I remember the last time
I thought it wasn't
Spoiler alert!:
Did not end well
Is it too late to say, "I love you"?
God, I hope so
Because if not I'd come back running
And that's not who I want to be
Is it too late to say, "I'm sorry"?
God, I hope so
Because I have nothing worth apologizing
To your cheating *** for
Last time I did that
It was ******* pointless
Is it too late to say, **** you"?
God, I hope so
Because that would mean I still care
In some form or another
Which I do
Not that you give a ****
Is it too late to turn around?
God, I hope so
Because this time it's my turn to shine
And if I go back to you
I haven't even started
On the path
To self re-creation

I knew her better than any of you
And maybe her less
I know not when she died
Or how she went
But it seems she just faded away
Slowly and peacefully
Perhaps she isn't fully dead
And she'll make special cameos
But are the dead ever really gone?
She was someone I thought I could call friend
She wasn't
She was mean and cold
She couldn't stand herself
She was hateful and hot headed
And was incapable of love
Because she had little--
If any--
Self-respect
Her heart was broken long before
I thought to save her
She always went for the abusive ones
No matter where she went
Because she thought that was love
She was sarcastic and blunt
To the point of defensive
Because she was scared
Even I could hardly love her
But I did
I say she wasn't a friend
But that's a half-lie
She was definitely the
Back-stabbing kind
She was the girl you didn't want
To be with
And my image is stained
Because of that
I was closer to her than anyone of you
Yet I was also the furthest away
She somehow managed to receive genuine love
But now she is a ghost
Cleaning out the hole in her throat
In my bathroom sink
She can linger for a while
I don't mind
Eventually I'll tell her to disappear
To pack her bags and leave
So,
Miss Samantha Marie Moore
From the kingdom of
Self-Loathe and Negativity,
Rest in Peace
Because you've ******* me over enough
And I am done
Bathing in your aura

If I genuinely wanted to
And I have before
And I maybe still am
But how am I supposed to wait
For a love that is no longer existing
So I could fall in love
If I genuinely wanted to
But right now
I am okay with
Playing the flirting game
And waiting around expecting nothing
Just having harmless fun
That could bud to something more
Right now it's all about me
Which, sure that sounds selfish,
But I've been stomped on so much
And I'm ready to think about
Me
Jul 26, 2016

Down to the very last
Ounce of happiness
And sadness
I am me
And no one can take
That away from
My being
I am me
A ************* diamond
No one can take that
Away from me
No matter how hard
I am
Pressed
