You deem me a weakling
I do not entertain your foolishness
but instead of fighting you,
I answer with silence instead.

you are not aware of the fire that grows inside
threatening to burn out your lifeline
I keep it under lock and key
I answer with silence instead

With every word, my demons grow hungry
the try to slyly creep out
I shall not allow them
I answer with silence instead

Don't perceive my mercy for weakness
for if I was weak,
I would let my fire burn the wicked
and my demons would swallow you whole

Anger takes no strength
but to keep the peace is rare
So don't mistake my strength
just because you answer weakly
Us women do not get the respect we need. We are just as strong and capable as anyone else

i wrote out my dreams with a pen
and placed them in a cup
i looked into the stars and then
with pride i held it up

i toasted to the moon above
and branches of the trees
i then said my goodbye to love
and threw them in the breeze

and maybe, maybe there's a day
when one might pass you by
but dream, only a dream can stay
only in dreams we fly
Phoenix May 2020
You spited me for my actions
that I did without realisation.
You committed the same sins
With a clear mind.

Condemned for my distance,
forced to tear down my walls
only for yours to tower
and push me further away.

Our actions were one of the same,
our mistakes almost identical
The only difference was I loved you
and all you could love was yourself...

I wish you the best,
for my heart holds your image pure
but my mind knows the truth
Watch me push away my logic and let you in

— The End —
