Still she loves
Still she loves...
The world has been unkind. Shes been taught the lesson her whole life that she is somehow less. A constant barrage of criticism and judgement by men, the media and even other women. Every time she looks in the mirror she is reminded of all her imperfections and all the places where she lacks. She's been beaten and abused. She's been taken advantage of and taken for granted. She's been an afterthought. Shes stood in someone else's shadow. She's been underappreciated. She's been stripped of her voice and her choice. In spite of all that, she loves. She loves...

CROWN
When anger and resentment
tear you down and you have
been made to feel like a clown,.
Remember honesty and integrity
and wear them like a crown •

Handle and Key
You are your own handle to doors that you pass through in and out of life. You also put a lock on to keep you safe. You are the only set of keys to you and all your furnishings from the rug to the wonky chair. You keep it as a reminder that being ins’t about perfection a nip and tuck doesn’t make up for how you feel and what’s wrong with being unique at least you are being real. You are selective not selfish to who you open doors too. You could count those chosen few on one hand. They are the most precious possessions you have like artwork hanging on your walls each a bit of Picasso from the...

The Job Interview
She sat in her chair fidgeting. She sized up the room and saw the men looking poised and confident. She wondered why she was there. She had done her research and knew that there had never been a woman hired for the position she was there to interview for. Thoughts of doubt flooded her mind. It was pointless. Its not that she wasn't qualified. Qualification was one thing that she wasn't lacking. Years of putting in her dues had paid off in that regard. This was a man's world. Although she had found her place, it was a place that those men were comfortable with. This was different. She was...

IT'S NONE OF MY BUSINESS
SOME
people try to live
their lives by trying
to please others in
little things and large
things. Others become
the temperature that
register on their happiness
and joy thermometers.
NO
I'm not advocating a disdain
for the opinions of others but
I will not let them have power
over whether I have joy, acceptance,
or involvement in certain forms
of sexual pleasuring and pursuits
within honest and legal bounds.
THE
opinions and remarks of others
have no power over me unless
I choose to let it....

Redemption!
By Stanley Collymore
The ultimate realization that
what you were essentially
happily doing all along
and not giving a real damn about the
consequences which your distinctly
selfish actions were simply having
on others was literally wrong; had
to stop; rather genuine apologies
made; and, quite unquestionably
also, new actually crucially clear
irrefutably, behavioural patterns
which sensibly really undertake
necessary remedial courses of
action constructively and quite
permanently, then undertaken! ...

shedding this skin
i feel
walled in,
towering
stone
buildings,
it's time
to be
moving on,
no more
unnatural
lights
over me,
i need
that winged
breeze,
to find
that peace,
move on,
part ways
and let
tomorrow
devour
everything
behind me.

Even God Blinks
Perhaps God is just a sasquatch
making his way through the woods
pushing seeds down into the dirt
with his thumb
Thus the start, of a trail of trees
-Knowing someone will probably cut them down
before they have a chance to be majestic
God never planned to be a caretaker
But he does it anyway
because he isn't very good with predictions
Yet his thumbs are green
We see his knuckles, atop the hills
Thousands of years ago
the first humankind were amazed
at how such small seeds ...

Alive So Many Times
People kill themselves over financial loss
I chose to work harder
People kill themselves over lost love
I got over it
People with complicated brain chemistry have a high suicide rate
I haven't succumbed
People kill themselves over maddening injustices
I wrote more poetry
Close to one million people
die by suicide every year
That could have been me
so many times over
It could have been so many of us
But we're still here
Grateful

I Am My Own Person
But just watch as I walk away
Watch how the eggs you throw
Don't crack when they hit my body
Watch how I have realized
Love is not blood.
Love is support
Love is happiness
Love is what I feel for myself
Still for you too
But
I have finally realized my worth
Watch how I walk away so so free, darling.

Watch how I walk away so so free, darling.

Today
Today,
Was about fruition,
The planting of a seed.
The framing of a picture,
Of picture of moment.
A moment,
Amongst a sea of moments.
The turning point,
A starting point,
A step,
Amongst the tide of steps.
An acknowledgement of,
Potential futures,
Of all the futures and their potentials.
Before today,
It was just another day on a board.
And now today stands,
As every other stands,
A memory added to the hoard.
Richer for it's planting,
Brighter for its lighting,
And better,
For what...
