"undertsand" poems
I would rather be known
as that girl who asks
if you want to hear a poem
than that drunk girl at the club
I'm finding that not everyone
will listen, let alone undertsand
when I expose myself to them
pulling back each rib
one at a time
depending on which
poem I choose
I'll lose blood for nothing
they don't even see the
crimson puddle on the floor
but it's there and sometimes
the people I chose to let it
out for aren't even
listening to the poem
some decline the offer
entirely
I'm going to promise myself
right now
there will never be a time
when I would say no
to a glimpse of someone
else's heart
I already feel too far
away from
humanity
often trapped
in what can seem
an artless world
and so I will never
say no
or look away if you
show me yours
I'll show you mine
and pretty soon
our chests are both
exposed
two tortured hearts
the metranome to
our so-called lives.

i waited until i couldn't anymore
i cried until it stained my bed sheet
i purge until there's nothing to throw up
i cut until the wound stopped hurting
i smile until im alone in my room
the thing is
we all have limits
but what are limits
when the cycle keeps
going on and on?
one day this acts will shed
to show the real skin behind all these coverings
one day you wouldn't recognize me
because im too dull to undertsand

Once you appreciated a Rose
You should undertsand what is Sore
'Coz not every heart ores
Are extracted by eros

now im bruised and i dont weant to see your face

Dear Parents
Teach her to read
before you train her to cook
she might create her own recipes
and write her own books
teach her to love herself
before she loves a man
she will nurture her soul in ways no one else can
teach her to earn
before you teach her to request
she will learn to make her own money
to build and invest
teach her to understand her body
before she aims to please a man
she will embrace her sexuality
in ways men won't undertsand
teach her to be independent
before she seeks help
she will always find strength in and of herself
let her know that she is power
and that God is her source
she will become an icon , an obstinate force.
