Kaleidoscope Me

People see all types of versions of me
But not every person sees the me you see
I can dance, i can draw, I can even sing
But what do you see passed all these things
A girl, maybe who hasn’t got it,
Who studies the way she’s told
But finds ways to forget it,
The highlighted bits, the gold.
Concentration wasn’t taught to those like me
And I live with half wit rep because that’s how it should be.
I forgot that copy, that book, that pen,
Every day for a year, and it didn’t stop then.
I scratched at the skin of the vessel
That is me
I fall apart because I couldn’t think
Not for you, not for me.
I could walk down the street
And wear a crop top,
I could watch the eyes on me
And their hands that don’t stop.
I have friends and family
I have people that come and go
But they don’t know the me
That another person might not know.

 

A Woman

I am a woman, a human like others,
In a world full of people who think like no other
“They like their men strong, they like their men though”
“They like their men dominating, they like their men rough”
“They like their women small, they like their women curvy”
“They like their women skinny, god forbid that their hairy”
But what they don’t realise, with these views so strict,
That what we want, is someone to relate with.
Someone who is kind, someone who understands,
Someone who is respectful, someone who is calm.
But what we want, more than anything else,
Is to be treated as equals, and be respected like everyone else.

Don’t Blame Me

Don’t blame me for the things you have caused
Don’t blame me for the things that have happened
Don’t blame me for things other people have done
I didn’t cause this.

I hate that we are blamed
I hate that we are played
It is unfair

Just because you don’t want to man up doesn’t mean you pull us down instead
Because instead we are stronger than most of you many seem.

So don’t blame me.

 

Being Different

Sometimes experiencing things is the way to go,
To me that’s how you’re intended to grow,
Who would you be if you were all the same,
If you’re no different to them, you’re the one to blame,
Sometimes it’s not your choice,
But try your best to rejoice.

 

To be Strong

Trying to be strong
When you think your wrong
Overthinking for so long
Truth be told
I want to fold
But the world will always judge me.

To be human

Is to live a full life with no regrets and not let anything hold you back.
To be human means to have feelings and emotions.
It means to experience grief at some point in your life
because you care about people that is close to you.
It means every human has a story and a trauma
that many people might not know.
Being human is to have a lot of ups and downs in life
and some things come and go.
It’s to experience happinesses, sadness, heartbreak, love, excitement.
It’s to experience everything and learn each day and becoming wiser every day.

I Love Being a Woman

I love wearing tight dresses
To be my skinniest version for men to see.
I love wearing loads of makeup
Just so guys don’t see the ugly version of me.

I love when guys insults me
It makes me clear of what parts of me I should change.
I love when guys tell me when they hate what I secretly like
So I can change my views to make sure we’re on the same page.

I love when guys says “tall girls are useless”
I can finally be happy to be small
But I have to hope that I don’t grow anymore
They might not talk to me at all.

I know this is bad thinking
Guys make me feel like I’ve been hit in the face by a ball,
But I know I can’t do anything about this
Nothing at all.

 

Reactions

In this confusing world,
It’s uncertain to be nice or caring,
But once in a while this question is cured,
When you discover somebody
who reacts exactly with these actions.

 

Pretend

Through the cities and streets
People weep
With faces that are not theirs to keep
For they pretend
They want to contend
With others on who to be.

 

Memory

I am living, I remember you
I’m just a member,
in this sphere
Losing you was my biggest fear
When I saw you lying there , my heart faded
Your head on the ground,
decapitated.

Purpose

Is to have your purpose on earth and to not to be afraid or hold back or let something or someone stop you from conquering your purpose of life, to achieve those goals and dreams no one believes that you can conquer prove them wrong, become better than them, be more inspirsed by the hateful words to push urself rather than quit you road to achieve those goals, as the people who tower you with negativity “you can do this” “your going to fail” are the ones who don’t get a job, don’t have a career and living off their parents funds while your having your own hours, car, family, business and leaving them in the dust.

Don’t put the blame on the school,

the teachers that constantly pick you out of a crowd to read or on the so called cool kids roaming the halls from class to class,

Don’t put the blame on the early mornings throughout the week or the hour classes that feel bleak.

So, don’t put the blame on school, it’s not the walls that hold us down, but how we rise of how we trust.

Cracked Mirror

There aren’t many things that I hate ,
And the few things I dislike aren’t things I can’t really change with out changing me ,
I hate everything about my appearance,
I hate when people lie to me,
and I hate that I was so in love ,
and in return I got so hurt.

 

The Only One

You’re the only one, who’s making me love
Through my simple senses
I’ll never feel ashamed of needing you

 

Impress

With people to impress
I do have to stress
It makes me a mess
And makes me feel less

 

I don’t hate women

They aren’t actually to bad
but I prefer men because
they are just easier.
Threats all I have to say
I play sports
but I don’t think I’m class
