i spent the entire morning
wishing you were
gone
the night
brought
you back
somewhere in
the middle
my heart stays
beating
-alive
you act as if
i was mute my entire life
no no
i was simply waiting for you
to be quiet
hoping that for once you would listen
only you never cared about my words
you only cared about your own
-words
the sun and
her flowers
tasted like
milk and honey
but the moon and
her stars
feed my romantic heart
-starving
every month we
bleed
they tell us to
tough it out
keep our emotions
in check
stop pmsing
not to act crazy pants
stop telling us what it is to be
and feel
as a woman
when WE are the ones with
the vagina
maybe its your hole
where the words of oppression and subjugation flow
like poison
that should be plugged
every month
-period
perhaps we are all migrating
like birds
trying to find a
home
that is
nothing like the nest
we left behind
searching for a
better life
a place to spread our wings
without prejudice
-citizens of the world #cotw
i am not very religious
but
every time we
lock eyes
you prove to me
that heaven must exist
-heaven is a place on earth
we should not battle
with other women
not when we are waging a war
against the patriarchy
-rise my women
you wanted
a vacation
when I wanted
continuation
-commitment
they label us
like cans of soups
they tag us
like dried meats
they look us over
like we were made for them
but we were not made for
someone else to stamp like a cut of beef
to throw away when used
to beat until tender
to consume until there is nothing left
no
you were made for
yourself
-self love
i'm not a
train
you cannot board me
use me till you have reached
your stop
get off
and
leave your trash behind
-riding between cars is prohibited
if the dead cannot
see or hear or touch or taste or feel
then why
do i miss
your face
your voice
your hands
your flavor
or the warmth of
your body on mine
-undead
they tell us our hips are
too wide
our bellies are too fat
our eyebrows too hairy
our arms too flabby
our breasts too small
our butts too large
our clothes too revealing
breaking us down like legos
left to build ourselves back up
higher and stronger than
before
before was yesterday
today is today
today i am a skyscraper
you knew me when i was a cottage
-skyscraper
a tree cannot
grow
if it is
kept in the dark
she bleeds for life
her womb
is not
your political agenda
-her body her choice
my heart yearns for
the day
when sisters will
use their hands to
lift each other
up
instead of using their
words
to tear each other
down
-support your fellow sister
my mind keeps
racing
like tires on a road
my heart keeps beating
like a clock keeps ticking
like seasons come
seasons go
i am stronger for staying
you were weaker for leaving
