I am.

For whenever you’re willing to take a stand

There comes an entourage questioning your sanity and not the man

It’s okay they say 

Take what comes your way

Fight what it is you want said

At the end of the day, you have to find your place on someone else’s bed.

Dignity is such a big deal 

And yet

Is anyone ever asking this girl how she feels?

She throws around the fact that she wishes she was dead

So easily, but why is it her who has to have suffered, it really should be this man's head.

Settle down, relax, it will all fade away

No, it won’t, I still feel his hand on my waist.

I feel his hands all over me and all I want to do is peel every inch of my skin off,

I can’t have anyone near me without wanting to scream get it off! Get it off!

Why is it nobody is willing to listen to every word I have been screaming out loud?!

You have me questioning if it is me, have I willingly attracted the wrong crowd?

Why did you let me grow up this way, with nothing to be said and nowhere to say it?

Is this all I’m good for, to be taken by consent or against it?


She is me. I am her. It is every woman. 

Not one of us really asked for this, it just was what we were given.

"It is a messed up thing to be unkind to yourself but it’s progress when you start realizing it." - a very dear friend. Last year invoked and forced a lot of change for me. I found myself up at odd times at night dissecting the things I believe in and really diving into the what’s, why’s, and how’s. Under different circumstances, I would never have had the time to think and reconsider the essence of the most personal things. Where I’m going with this strain of thought, is that we often undermine the value of very simple things in our life. We don't all live the same frequency of the enormous undertaking that is life and so we don’t quite value the same things similarly. So you spend a lot of time being unkind to yourself basing your life on someone else’s. And it isn’t the same. It will never be the same. So why do it? On the one hand, we can put all of the blame on society and it’s inhuman expectations on its very diverse human individuals. But way out, on the other hand...

I wish I could say I want to go back to being the crazy, stupid , gullible girl that I was a year ago. But I can't. Life works that way. It happens to you when you least expect it. It can be everyone you loved just shoving you away like you never mattered. It can be yourself , just taking the road to destroying the old you to build a new person you hardly recognize. It can be your dad who was supposed to be there forever , who was once a part of your everyday now ceasing to become an email wishing you a happy birthday. It can be you crying yourself to sleep every night for six months because you are in a place where you have no one and its slowly driving you to insanity. It can be you relapsing, going back to everything you did to yourself three years ago. It can be anything. But you won't want to go back to being who you were. Because you survived through all that dark and maybe just maybe lived just enough to be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel. That's life ...

"I'M-(PERFECT)"?

Image
Long gone are the days where people used to look at inner beauty. Inner beauty today is a myth, a topic that is often ridiculed. As of today, when people look at someone, what they seek is perfection. We would be lying to ourselves and everyone else if we said otherwise.  Every girl seeks the perfect guy and every guy seeks to find his Ms.Right. Taking into account that everybody's sense of perfect is seemingly different. There still exist those rare people  who see past everything and look into the person inside. But most people just look for a thing of beauty not a person of beauty. There seems to be an alarming increase in people wanting other people to act or be or look a certain way. Why? I don't know. It is pretty ridiculous if you ask me but it is what it is. I had a friend , sorry , now acquaintance tell me once not long ago, " It's not that i don't like people. Its just that i expect people to be a certain way. You know my idea of perfection?". An...
