You remind me

You reminded me of the sun

The way your eyes shined so bright.

The way you laughed until the day was done

And somehow still managed to light my night

You reminded me of a sea

The way you surrounded me

Until I realized I was drowning

And there was no way to be free

You remind me of a rose

Secretly impaling me with thorns

It too late, but now I know

It’s to you I’ll always return.

You’re controlling me

But I insist that you’re what makes me happy

Dear Past Me

Dear past me

I have a message from future you

That you probably won’t read until you’re sixteen or seventeen

I just have a few things I would like you to do

I want you to stand up for yourself

Do whatever you think is right

It would really help myself

Don’t worry, you’re future is bright

Do whatever you think is best

Be whatever you want to be

Don’t let people judge you for your sex

Remember you grow up to be me

Forever stay true

Sincerely, future you

You

You

With your stupid games

and your foolish names

You

Acting like the world is yours to gain

And that everything will always stay the same

You

Thinking most highly of yourself

And everything else is minuscule, including myself

You

Holding everything on a tight leash instead of allowing it to run free

The way that it was made to be

Breaking News

I am not a toy, no am I property, nor am I unimportant, nor am I a dog

I am a woman.

Wanted

I don’t want a “significant other”

They’re too much of a bother

All I want is to feel wanted

Because all I feel is haunted

As though my heart is in a graveyard

Names carved into stone that is cold and hard

Claimed and empty stones alike

Simply looking is a fright

My heart feels empty, abandoned

No one hand to put my hand in

But am I really searching for a kiss?

Or is it just the feeling that I miss?

Dream

I had a dream

That I could be whatever I wanted

That I could have my coffee black or with cream

That I could do whatever I wanted without being taunted

So I decided to be president

To rule the nation

Because no woman has ever done it

But the men thought that there would be a cessation

So I decided to be a doctor

To help others, of course

It was frowned upon by my proctor

He told me that I should be a nurse

So I’ve decided to be a mommy

Because that’s what society told me to be.
