Love Less Day

I can count on my shortcomings

To speak louder

than anyone in the room

I can see all the idle minds

Shift as a fabrication

Starts to manifest into

A sudden form of new

This one day is less about love

And more about the materialism

And the production of how we sell

Energy that shouldn’t have a price

I shouldn’t have to get worked up

Every time this fourteen date rolls around

Because it should be already addressed

If I love you

Then you wouldn’t have to guess

It’ll be in my smile

I would feel that shit from my head

To my crippling toes

Because even they know

They can’t resist the heat

I think V day sets them up for defeat

With high expectations and ratifications

No one claims to stand by their own two feet

We have to have someone

Maybe out of desperation

Or pure loneliness

We close up our harden flaws

And hope by some miracle

We are picked to be chosen

What if

A day of love cease to exist ?

Would your heart love less then?

Would it be abandoned by

The wear and tear you

Refuse to accept

Will the isolation be too much

It starts stealing your breath ?

Or could you actually

Appreciate the more given time

Love can take to make

each moment feel like a dime

Maybe then

it’ll feel less like a crime

Why are we so hell bent on

Not loving ourselves alone?

We are so scared to end up alone

But the kicker part is when we truly

Get to that point

We actually pull in

the best possible path

for us to grow

And if Love is the promise

Then our future is the ring

That will be purposed

It’ll be the most biggest surprise

It’ll knock you off your balance

Until you get hooked on the ride

Love is the biggest roller coaster

Of our mundane lives

And we close our eyes

To ignore the flutters

And forget about the 250 feet drop

That will make us scream out

Before our very eyes

If I knew then

What I know now

I would have let go a long time ago

And stop controlling Love

Because it never panned out

My flaws would’ve been the biggest scene

And I would have played out my scars

Just to tug on my heart strings

Just to have proof that it still beats

Maybe not for someone yet

But at least

Just for me

I am awake most nights , the window lights remains drenched in fear always , it makes me cry most days , that light that is ever so dark . I understood that.What is ever so surprising is -That everyday, the same window lights change colour , perhaps -This fear is a denomination (a destination) for my strengths - a strange cacophony ( sound).

I Am Tired

I am tired

I am tired of my finger lingering over the call button until my phone fades to black

I am tired

I am tired of the numbness of my feelings after endless hours of self attack

I am tired

I am tired of the memories that keep me up at night

The ache to find, as i lose my mind, the tunnel's ending light

I am tired

I am tired of being angry, of being furious with no real reason

I am tired of crying daily..or for even whole seasons

I am tired

I am tired of the weight of knowing these thoughts will keep going

I am tired.

I am drained.

I am pained with each stain on my brain that drives me insane...

I am tired.

Of sleeping just to wake up again...

Just to only breathe when my anxiety allows, again.

To feel alone in crowded spaces

And panic at the smell or look of certain people and places

I can't..

I'm just so tired.

Leave me to be wild

You couldn’t tame me

I am a wild horse

A Mustang

An ownerless beast

I cannot be saddled by the weak

Leave me to wander

I deserve to have flowers in my hair

And to be kissed by the sun

You will never break me

I am whole

-Tiffany Rae

Poetry Slam bbout gender roles and the rest of all this bullshit  by M.Janee

It's not boys will be boys

or

girls will be girls

at least it shouldn't be

Because i'm tired of these gender rolls

that most of us made up

I'm tired of pink unicorns

I just want to give it up

because it's not

boys will be boys

or girls will be girls

at least it shouldn't be

you shouldn't raise kid

to fit into a picture

constructed by a broken society

cause it's not

boys will be boys

and

girls will be girls

Because they won't

They will raise themselfes

from where they being held so little

and grow

and take the space they need

and they will be girls who are boyish

and boys who are girlish

They will just be themselfes

and they grow

instead of being held so little

instead of being boys who will be boys

and girls who will be girls

And as a matter of fact

Boys don't do things because they are boys

and men don't do thinks because they're men

Just like

as a matter of fact

you shouldn't teach our little boys

and girls

That boys can't controll themselfes

That they

if they see a woman wearing a skirt or a top

if they see the shoulders of a girl

that he who is just a boy

who will be a boy

or

a man who will be a man

can't controll himself

and will cum

immediately

into his pants

That he who is just a man

Who will be a man

can't controll himself

and will need to take advantage

of the body

that belongs to a girl

Just like

as a matter of fact

you shouldn't teach our little girls

and boys

That girls can't controll themselfes

That they

If they see some good looking men/man

If they are in contact with more people from the other gender

That she who is just a girl

who will be a girl

or a woman who will be a woman

Will throw herself

immediately

at them

that she who is just woman

can't control herself

and will

immediately

spread her legs

for the body

for parts

that belong to a boy

who will be a boy

or a man who

forever

will be just

a man

It's not boys will be boys

or

girls will be girls

at least it shouldn't be

Because i'm tired of these gender rolls

that most of us made up

I'm tired of pink unicorns

I just want to give it up

because it's not

boys will be boys

or girls will be girls

And if you like your oh-so loved gender roles

If you can't keep living without them

If you need to search for an excuse

well maybe next time

you should buy pizza rolls instead

for good

If Life was a Beauty Pageant

  If life was a beauty pageant, I’d look for the most beautiful dress in all shops,

So when my name is called, I’d be ready and all dressed up.

 If life was a beauty pageant, I’d put the most expensive make-up to make my self look good.

Because to look gorgeous in every angle, that’s the way we should.

 If life was a beauty pageant, I’d proudly wave my hand and wear my crown.

Because a beauty queen should always smile, hold her head up and never frown.

 But sadly, life is not just all about the make-up, dresses and crown.

These would not truly make us beautiful but would  just only make us the talk of the town.

 In a world where everything is predefined by society,

Will we ever comprehend the true essence of beauty?

 With the barbie doll image that the society suggests,

Will we ever be truly beautiful and become our very best?

 Why shouldn’t we try to dress ourselves with exceptional character?

Doing that, I’m sure would make us look far way better.

 Why shouldn’t we try to smile and give compassion?

Doing this would make us more lovely and would give answers and solution.

 Sadly, life is not a beauty pageant, this we must always bear in mind.

And that true and rare beauty is so much hard to find.
