Strength
For a long time you felt that you were weak
For a long time you felt that you weren't loved, that you didn't belong
Too emotional, too many feelings,
How could anyone or anything ever love the broken human you'ved become
How could anyone see the beautiful you trying to emerge from the dark
For a long time you felt that you were weak
Too emotional, too many feelings, you deserved...

Weak
My mother once told me
she thought I was as strong as she was,
but she was wrong and told me I was weak
Could she be right?
So far I don't think I've been able
to prove her wrong
She told me she has no faith in me
however,
I think I had lost faith in myself before her
What has it come to...
now I can't smell flowers how I used to
or smile at faces...

The City of God
In the disturbed world of today, I believe we must look to the tragedies of the past for guidance into the future. This piece is based on one of my first efforts, now many years ago.
The City of God
“It stands on a hill,” you say,
"a golden fortress, buttress to our faith,
a Heavenly Jerusalem to Rome's decay”.
Such piety is useful
to commanders of the expendable,

Objectify Me
i just think it is funny that
my body cannot be viewed
by a man
without him making a comment
i just think it is funny that
i have to cross the street
to avoid his words in my ear
i just think it is funny that
he cannot look at
my hair
my legs
my body
without sucking air through his teeth
and viewing me
only as the object
he believes i a...

Fingernails
My hands are patterned by ambitions,
these lines on my skin are wishes,
palms marked like the sky after a shooting star
and shining when they interlace with your fingers,
your skin's wrinkles and crinkles.
The crevices of our skin do not match or meet
the way coloured paths on a map synchronise and intercross,
reaching destinations.
We are separate pieces of meat
but

Things have changed
My heart over powers my head lately
Must be linked to my stomach
I'm always feeling sick
Things changed
My person has opened up
I've been shut down for so long
I require drastic change
Shame is what I'm swimming in
I don’t feel guilty I just hate
Knowing how you are going to look at me
I never know what you think
I feel like you will just settle with me
Instead ...

As I Continue
I'm not weak
I can't accept defeat
Its like a foreign language to me
Stand up strong
Tall and face them all
Defy gravity
Never a victim of depravity
Your smirks
Your sneers
Pssh all I hear are cheers
Moving along
Like a song
A step at a time
Never out of line
Just ebbing with the flow
Watch!
As I continue to grow.
