I am a ****
And I refuse to believe that
Women have a right to their bodies
I realize this may be a shock, but
Saying “Don’t Get *****,” rather than “Don’t ****”
Is a lie, and
Because you said “yes” to him, means you say “yes” to all men.
In 30 years, society will believe that
A man’s ego
Is more important than
The word “no”
I tell you this:
Teen girls’ safety matters
But this will not be true in my era
This is a male supremacist society
Experts tell me
Men will be superior to women
I do not conclude that
Women will be powerful
In the future
There will be no equality
No longer will it be said that
Women deserve to be heard
It will be evident that
It’s the victims fault for ****** assault
It is foolish to presume that
Your voice matters.
And all of this will come true, unless we reverse it.

We started as friends,
Both damaged from our pasts.
You made mistakes that hurt you,
I was convinced that nothing ever lasts.

The adventure began,
From friends to lovers.
It’s like playing in the sand,
But instead we play under covers.

Our storms are fierce,
But we don’t go for shelter.
We stay throughout the weather,
And never let our love welter.

You dive into my waters,
And I wince with every touch,
For how is there love-
Without a little lust?

Our love is like a beach,
And all the boys want to play-
But they’ll never get the chance,
Because I will never go astray.

Till death do us part-
I will never leave your side.
You have my heart forever,
No matter the waves tide.

Dear Lost One,

These winter nights are cold and brittle,
I hope that you are missing me a little.
I ignite the chimney with fire,
But it will never amount to my burning desire-
To have your arms around me to keep me warm,
Oh, how I wish to see your face once more.

These winter nights are unforgiving,
And it makes me question the cost of living,
All alone in this empty house,
Without you here to be my spouse.
Don’t forget the times we shared,
And the feelings that we left with them there.
Now that you are gone and I am alone,
This place doesn't feel like home.

These winter nights are haunting me,
But I will no longer live in misery.
It’s time to end the life I’ve lived,
Because it is broken without you in it.
These lonely nights are killing me,
So now it’s time for me to make my peace.
I will see you soon on the other side,
With your arms open far and wide,
And a smile stretched across your face,
That assures me I’m ready to leave this place.
I love you to heaven and back,
So wait for me as I follow your tracks.
It’s time for me to finish this letter,
And I hope whoever reads this will think of me better,
Than the circumstances that I have created,
I know they must certainly feel jaded.
But know I did this all in good thought,
As I continue to finish tying this knot.

These winter nights are almost over,
And I will see you when I crossover
From this world into yours,
Just wait for me at the open door.

Yours truly,
Broken One

You meet people for a reason,
And those reasons cannot be explained.
But sometimes you have to learn a lesson twice,
Before it can be claimed.
You were two different people,
And walked into my life at two different times.
I believed you both were sincere,
But you committed the same crimes.
My heart wasn’t yours to break,
And my trust wasn’t yours to take.
You thought I wouldn’t know,
But you’re blind to your mistakes.
You both came into my life,
To teach me when it’s too much.
You saw me as an option,
I guess it’s just bad luck.
It’s my turn to break your heart,
And show you my true strength.
I may have stayed the first time,
But now it’s not the same.
You meet people for a reason,
And those reasons cannot be explained.
But both of you taught me self-worth,
And I will no longer live in pain.

Whisper sweet nothings in my ear,
Then let’s pretend you were never here.
Every time you walk out the door,
I had never wanted you more.
You leave my thoughts impaired,
But I have never really cared.
What we have can never be real,
Because nothing is what I feel.

They say beauty is within the eyes of the beholder,
But you think that to be false,
Because every time you pass a mirror,
All you see is your faults.
I try to tell you all you’re worth,
But your feelings are hidden behind closed vaults.
They say beauty is within the eyes of the beholder,
Which is true because all I want to do is hold her.

Don’t tell me pretty lies,
With that look on your face,
Because although you are beautiful
The ugly never fades.
There’s beauty in your eyes,
And there’s strength that’s in your arms,
But your heart is so hideous,
It tears us apart.
Don’t tell me pretty lies,
Like what you feel is real,
The truth is you don’t love me,
My heart wasn’t yours to steal.

The fire in your heart,
Burns an eternal flame.
Some are scared of getting burned,
But to me it’s all the same.
You are scared to love,
Because it’s impossible to tame.
Your fire is eternal,
So engulf me in your flame.
