***** envy
I chose feminism because I believe in equality between genders. because I’m against gender roles, men who need a woman to get their **** done are not “cute” and are nothing but spoiled little brats. because my virginity, my body hair and how I dress up are none of your business. I chose feminism because I’m not a *** machine nor a baby producer I value much much more than that. because I don’t need a man to validate my self worth, I already know what I’m worth. because in some countries ***** women are forced to spend the rest of their life under the same roof as their assaulter. I chose feminism because a woman who speak up and raise her voice is a ***** . because in my city a woman was beaten by her husband the night of their wedding because she didn’t “bleed” in the *********** I chose to speak up because an 8 year old Yemeni girl died of internal injuries at the hands of 40 year old husband on their wedding night. because ****** is not a ***** word and my periods are not disgusting. because more women need to speak up and speak for their rights I chose feminism and everyone should do the same .

All such stuff is only a myth, right? Why else would women be forsaken? Is having periods a grave sin, really? Their God is just a fantasy, right? Why else will God forsake Its kids? The real God is sleeping, isn't It?? God could be a female too, right? Why assign a gender to God then? Is God so weak, kidding right???

The Real God?
The night is only a sort of carbon paper, Blueblack, with the much-poked periods of stars Letting in the light, peephole after peephole -- A bonewhite light, like death, behind all things. Under the eyes of the stars and the moon's rictus He suffers his desert pillow, sleeplessness Stretching its fine, irritating sand in all directions. Over and over the old, granular movie Exposes embarrassments--the mizzling days Of childhood and adolescence, sticky with dreams, Parental faces on tall stalks, alternately stern and tearful, A garden of buggy rose that made him cry. His forehead is bumpy as a sack of rocks. Memories jostle each other for face-room like obsolete film stars. He is immune to pills: red, purple, blue -- How they lit the tedium of the protracted evening! Those sugary planets whose influence won for him A life baptized in no-life for a while, And the sweet, drugged waking of a forgetful baby. Now the pills are worn-out and silly, like classical gods. Their poppy-sleepy colors do him no good. His head is a little interior of grey mirrors. Each gesture flees immediately down an alley Of diminishing perspectives, and its significance Drains like water out the hole at the far end. He lives without privacy in a lidless room, The bald slots of his eyes stiffened wide-open On the incessant heat-lightning flicker of situations. Nightlong, in the granite yard, invisible cats Have been howling like women, or damaged instruments. Already he can feel daylight, his white disease, Creeping up with her hatful of trivial repetitions. The city is a map of cheerful twitters now, And everywhere people, eyes mica-silver and blank, Are riding to work in rows, as if recently brainwashed.

My periods turn to semicolons My suicide notes to poetry My goodbyes became hellos The blades turn to sunflowers And the bullets, a rose My heart still is broken But the pieces have been found Death isn’t for me anymore What is, in the here and now I still don’t feel enough But I am alive And that’s enough to say Today is not the day I die.

On Woman's Rights
A view just before sunrise Resembles like a sunset But the difference is vast As it is fills with a hope of rays A view just before sunrise Is well felt deep inside When it starts to gleam With its sun rays A view just before sunrise Is a blooming sun of rays Which fill with bright lights And make beautiful sights A view just before sunrise Is a view of hopes Excited in full of vibes With its vibrant colours A view just before sunrise Is a one more chance Given to know the worth of lives To live with full of senses A view just before sunrise Is to be grateful to God’s grace To be a part of living miracles Especially in this competitive eras A view just before sunrise Is enjoyed well when it rises And when it rise to its bests It seems as smiling at us A view just before sunrise Is a smiley face of sun As of a blooming sunflower’s With its joyful pleasures A view just before sunrise Is the waiting periods To see the rising queen Reflecting as golden eyes A view just before sunrise Is hope of new days In its blessed paces For every faces A view just before sunrise Helps to plan in advance To utilise the opportunities With its best ways A view just before sunrise May bless us to rise With its immense cheers So all can have its leisures A view just before sunrise Is the stipulated time frames To harvest the best nuts From the life’s tests A view just before sunrise Is to raise yourselves To shine as jewel stones As a sun in yourselves A view just before sunrise Is to enjoy the glory of living vibes To make best diamond from coals So that it lustre in darks A view just before sunrise In nutshell, is a glorious shine As a diamond kept in caves To brighten the path of ways

ew you’re on your period that’s disgusting and whenever i get a "feminine product" i have to hide it deep down where nobody sees it but you see we live in a world where our own girls are getting ***** i’m a girl, not a *** object but in the eyes of a ****** that is exactly what i am but i’m not an object i am a person i am a life giver just imagine if men were as disgusted in **** as they are with periods in the sixth grade when the word period was mentioned the whole room would burst out in laughter i am a girl my lady bits bleed and that’s what makes me strong and that’s what makes me a young woman and that’s what will make me a mother one day so ew you’re on your period that’s disgusting is not an insult to me

ew you're on your period
'They're just a teen' gets dropped on the daily. Like the added couple of letters at the end determine whether our feelings are valued or not. They only ever tell us they're here for us when someone offs themselves on the train tracks next to the school. Call this number if you feel down. Teenage years are the time to find out who you are, and maybe I am a depressed mess, but us Gen Z kids are doing our best to make sure us sad'ens feel alright. Sometimes we don't feel alright, and, so what, if it is just down to hormones and periods, and Max's muscly shoulders or Louise's brown eyes. We are allowed to feel like **** Cos Teenage years are the time where we find out life isn't like animated movies; that bad guys are defeated and the hero wins; cos, in the end, sometimes we're our own saboteurs. And we find out, sometimes that's okay;  to knock ourselves down will make us build ourselves up in the grand scheme of things; I sure as hell know I hate how I feel most days, and I'm sure most teenagers do. I'm just a teen; but I have a loud voice, terrible jokes and a **** economy to grow into, and I'm allowed to be mad and cry and I'm allowed to feel like **** and want to die because in the end, I know it'll all be fine. Married or alone with wine. Sometimes life is **** and that's okay; and to me, that _is_ the teenage dream.

i fear that you are drowning in your own depth and i hope that you have learned to hold your breath for extended periods of time and that you know when to come up for an interlude of fresh air every once in awhile your heart is so special please take care of it because i would hate to hear that you’ve broken two more one, hers and in return, yours yet again

They say that smell Is your strongest sense When tied to memory. That just a whiff of a smell Or even thought of a Smell can bring you back To a place and a time that You had previously Thought were left behind. For me the smell of Bleach is comfort, as my Nanny used it as a Standard, household Cleaner. I love that smell As well as of my favorite Dinner, mildew (reminds me of summers spent At camp, living out of a trunk) and My favorite flowers Each of these smells I Love to revisit time and Time again. One smell Though has embedded Itself in my memory and if I have my way, I’ll never Smell it again. Mom had Colon cancer most Of my time in High school. No clue on the stage But it was best not To Ask Surgeries, chemo, radiation, the Whole Nine Things seemed to be fine, Well, even great Until it took a turn My mom has never been Skinny; she is petite, but Normal Suddenly she looked like A holocaust victim She would get quiet Draw into herself For periods of time Another surgery. Fine She returned home And then something crept in That something was death And I’ll never know how I knew You just know. The smell of something Dying Isn’t pleasant It puts you on edge And turns your stomach Mom was confident That she was getting better The smell, that can’t Be described (dying tissue, pain Suffering) was glaring To me I never asked Mom or Dad If they could smell it Because the smell of Death Isn’t a sense that should Be shared I would just maintain that I didn’t think Something was right A day or so later Surgery. Fine. Home. Smell. Surgery. Fine. Home. Smell. Surgery. Fine. Home. After that last Surgery. The smell Left. But even now When I think back To that time That complicated time of Soccer games Chemotherapy Apply to college Surgeries The one thing in the Foreground Is That Smell Just a whiff of death Of human decay Of dying Of suffering And I’ve had my fill For a lifetime

At this point, I'm surprised I manage to wake up, when every night is plagued with dreams of you, caressing my fragile body, and then plunging into it like it doesn't mean two ***** to you. Every night it's the same dream, and I wake up smelling of sweat, but it's not the same as yours, an aroma that haunts me even in my sleep. See, when a man like me desires, he desires with more than just his heart and mind. He desires with his nose, his lips, his hands and his tongue, his eyes, his ears, and with the tips of his toes. Not unlike the fantastic houses we used to build between periods. Not unlike the make-believe we used to play during recess. So, my friend, let's make-believe one last time: I'll pretend to be a woman, and you'll pretend to be in love, and I'll finally find myself in your warm embrace.

Desire
During her blood moon was the best time to make her moan, make her legs shake and weak, Feel her scratch down my arms and peel up my skin Only 3 days it would last but during those periods... she would release multiple times With the red moons spawn a bear in the woods would evolve, hunting her flood through a blessed disaster finding what I was after, in a late night spatter Her finger tips hiding the stake in my pants, she'll soon be riding In these moments I feel a crave, a longing to misbehave, Within blankets and sheets we inhabit this cave Our leveled off breathing will not reveal harm Take shelter in the warm of more than apparent and reside until morning in the arms of the inherent

Your collar bell jingles And all the other felines Look at you as though You are a Queen You smile and shake your head The collar bell jingles louder The sequins on the collar sparkle The Lady Feline smiles deeply I put a compact mirror in front Of her face the other day (Mind you, cats usually Don't like looking at themselves in mirrors) And the Lady Feline stared at herself For long periods of time Sometimes blinking Sometimes squinting Always smiling though Such adorable vanity And her collar bell jingles As if she's trying to attract All the male felines And make them love her ~Marian~

Adorable Vanity
Anne crutched her way over the grass from the nursing home to the white seats on the lawn and sat down in one of the chairs and threw her crutches to the ground beside her I sat in a chair next to her she had on a blue skirt and white blouse her one leg stuck out from the end of her skirt the other kids played on the swings and slide or walked around avoiding being near Anne I wonder if the nuns have periods? She said suddenly I don't know I said might explain their crabbiness some days she said I nodded my head unsure of the topic periods of what? I asked she looked at me sternly for a moment you don't know? I shook my head gazing at her it's ************ in real terms she said none the wiser I looked at her hair dark and almost shiny where she’d brushed it so much do you know that? no not heard of it I said she sighed and looked at me deeply do your parents tell you nothing? not about ************ anyway I said my old man told me about the Plague of London in 1665 and rats and stuff **** the Plague of 1665 she said this is real stuff it may come handy one day to know I doubted it but said nothing I looked back at the nursing home for rescue do you know anything about the female cycle? She said my friend's sister's cycle didn't have a cross bar I said remembering Jim's sister and the bicycle I sometimes rode no no Kid not that kind of cycle her body cycle I noticed as she moved on the chair her leg stump became visible   when a female gets to a certain age her body gets prepared to put an egg in a place in her body ready to be fertilized ok? I saw the stump clearly it looked like the end of a plump elbow Kid do you hear what I am saying? Yes I said good now if the egg doesn't get fertilized by a certain time her body gets rid of it in a cycle and she bleeds the whole package out right? It didn’t sound too good but I nodded what kind of egg? I asked what do you mean what kind of egg? A ****** human egg what do you think a ****** hens' egg? She sighed deeply and I wondered where she bought her one shoe how old are you Kid? 10 nearly 11 years old I replied studying her black shoe   and wondering what she did with the other shoe what's fertilization? I asked looking up at her sitting in the chair her eyes focused on me go ask the nuns they'll know she said snappily ok I said I will she reached for her crutches   and said right Kid let's go to the beach out of the eyes of the ******* and their reach and so I walked beside her out the back gate and onto the path that led to the sand and sea blue skies white clouds seagulls and Anne and me.

Imagine
Sleep depravation leads to many fun things, Like commas, And sea dragons, And low self esteem, Being happy leads to several exciting things! Like exclamation marks! And dolphins! And a sexually transmitted disease! Anger leads to lots of frustrating things. Like periods. And humans. And bullets handed out for free. So with all these great feelings, creating such magic! How in the world could life be so tragic.

deadly beautiful
Look in the mirror, That face is looking back at me, Sure that face is what others see, But inside is it someone else at times? I’m left feeling like a spectator in my mind, Feeling the world as it occurs around, disconnected, Feeling who people refer to as is someone else, not me, Feeling like a different person every few periods, The habit controlling my body, The conscious wondering what this foreign place could be, Uncomfortable in my own skin, I am left staring through the eyes of the person I’m supposed to be, Meeting people, shaking hands, Reacting as they might expect from who I am, The person staring back at me from the mirror, is that me? Alas I debate and conclude on who the person running this body could be.

In My Skin
Skies filled w/ fluorescent lights. Reminiscent of the different times that flashed before me. But as all lights, they burn out. They fizzle. They crackle. Their luminosity gives way to darkness. And then there’s nothing. Sometimes briefly, other times for prolonged periods. Over time, I’ve become accustomed to the darkness. The nothingness. The absence of a glow. No shine in the distance. No light in the future. So perhaps.. the darkness is the norm for these skies. My skies. Until another fluorescent light shows its face. To brighten my skies once again.
