I'll go first,

Growing up, there was a huge emphasis on marriage in my community.
Everything I watched was about love,  lust and relationships, this was all I consumed.

Later on in life,  I began to crave affection and attention from many if not all the males in my life.

This lead me into a spiral of thinking that every male I had an interaction with was going to be my husband.

We listen and we don't judge...
Can we create a chain?

I urge you do not fall in love with the version of a person you make in your head.

Delete the roleplays you keep on repeat in your mind.

Ignore your heart's beating at the thoughts you normally accept that will lead you into an endless spiral of lust.

You never got the chance to speak to the person you wish to know.

You do not know their likes of their dislikes.

You only love the version of them in your mind.

Let go.

Please let go.

Oh the toll of a broken family
I see it in the way she sits
Curled into herself, disappearing
Pushed into expectations she'll never fit
Shards of her broken heart, ******
Piercing the lungs in which she needs
As I watch her **** her imperfections
Thinking that they were solely weeds
She's drifting to the world unknown
While I watch her fade away
So I pray for the girl to my left
Never knowing quite what to say
to the ******* my left
it's okay to not be perfect
imperfections aren't bad
it's what makes you human
and to anyone else who may be struggling
the same goes to you
just be yourself
that alone is
perfect

silenced, unheard
bite your tongue till you feel it bleed
you mustn't be heard, only seen
never truly believed
nor will your screams be freed
for that's what it means
to be one of a society
sometimes i hate being a women
but not because i don't want to be one
but because i'm scared
and i hate feeling scared
