Anyone want to join my band?

Things to send to my stepmother.

[thoughtsandstripes]

She looks like an island

Feminine yet not

The ides of June bring us to division

But yet, we follow through

This is only the beginning,

But we know not what to do

So we twist and yell and scream

From where we can’t promise or bring

To pass the things

That we cannot bear

To breathe

She looks like an island

Lies upon lies

She tries to fit in, so she disappears

Into the laminate cardboard

Cupboards full of wishes

Tiny teacups with her intentions

Swirled inside.

She looks like an island

Her mother would refuse

She isn’t what she thought she would be

And They only tell the truth.

Truth. A solid gesture. The cancer it brings.

Astrological passion

The treasure shone anew.

Oil rubbed brass

A doorknob

The moulding between the ceiling and the walls

Noticeable enough.

To what end?

I slay me…

Context is everything.

To those who were born into the privileged generations of living entities with the divine ability to create and produce life, specifically to naturally birth it from our bodies,

I will speak as one of you, speaking to those who have decided that their perceived gender is superior, and merits the inhuman treatment of those who deserve their utmost respect.

We made you, and we will stop making you.

How we get there, is entirely in your hands.

Women, never forget that we made men. We can stop anytime we like.

The problem isn’t with their perfectionism. It’s that they have placed their sense of self-worth onto it.

[thoughtsandstripes]

I miss believing that you cared about me more than you cared about yourself.

LR

[thoughtsandstripes]

Bring the best version of yourself to every table.

Just because you miss it

Doesn’t mean you should have it.
