Jungle of Life
Brown and grey jungle,
Miles in every direction.
Centuries of history,
But filled with misdirection.
Anger, fear consolidated,
Division far and wide.
How did we allow ourselves
To reach such wide divide?
Fear of expressing personality,
Anger to those who can.
But if you want to fix your world,
There is a way you can.
If you leave the jungle’s shadow,
Green and blue, as far as you can see.
Looking back upon your past,
Different, you can be.
Fear
Walking down the road scared for my life
Of all the things that haunt the night
Not lions or bears or all in between
But something aggressive and mean
Alone and afraid i walk the streets
The night so dark i feel the fear
Not a lion or bear, but man i fear
To understand
How do I explain to men that they make us feel worthless, why do men think they’re better because of their masculinity? no woman is safe anymore not inside nor outside, I want men to feel what we do and understand how we think, how we think the worst of everything that happens.
But a view
I am gentle.
I am soft.
I am nothing but a view.
I’ll paint my face on
And cut the calories.
Hip dips
Stretch marks
Eye bags
Fat.
Pathways
So many ways you can go
And only one that you actually choose
One is very different from the others
One will lead you to gold
One will lead to ashes
Which direction will be the best?
And you get to choose what path to walk on
So be yourself and follow your soul.
Known
I hate the way we are known by our highest achievements.
I also hate the way we are known by our lowest mistakes.
We are not known by the things we do every day,
the struggles we go through just for one day.
The abuse we get to make ourselves better day by day,
To even get a ‘your doing great’
For just one day.
Ballaghadereen
Walking around Ballaghadereen
We see many different things
From people helping out elderly people to robberies down the main street
The kids running out of the school at 5 to 4 in the evening
We see many different sights in the day we spend in Ballaghdereen
They say
They say men and women are the same but is that the reality?
They say women express more emotions but is that the truth?
they say you’re weird if you don’t fit in but what about that abnormality?
They say they all have their opinions but they never look at the other side of the booth.
but they never talk about the possibilities that what they say is all youth
Walking Alone
Walking in town alone makes me feel low, you never know the possibility. Walking alone and feeling safe should be a right. I hope men understand, I don’t know your intentions. Do I assume the worst? yes, but it is for the best. The night sky is beautiful but all I can focus on is my safety. Why can’t I feel security? I don’t know, but I wish I didn’t go.
Hide
People look at what I wear like they care, watch me on the streets like they’re creeps. But I am brave and do not cave to these people who hide.
Never Knelt
From the woods of
Ballaghadeereen to the
River lung. From the
Arms of Eaomom to
Robertas ever pure, All
I have to remember is
The pride that I felt
Lifetime holding a Shield
Where the boys never
Knelt.
Women & men
Women are so great they ate when forming the female society but when male society was formed they created prom so men could have a reason to come for females
People
They never cared for speaking when they try
Which often leads people to cry.
Oh I didn’t mean anything they remark
Always ignoring the truth and dark.
But still we get up and try all day
For the people that help us to want to stay.
Caretakers
Women are the caretakers of the earth.
We are open to vulnerability but yet we still don’t feel safe when we are walking on the street when it’s dark and we see groups of men.
Head Hurt
My friends talking about my mother
Waking up to go to school
Being left on delivered by friends
School work
It makes my brain hurt
I don’t like school work
Tired
I don’t like school
It goes on too long for me
It makes me horrid tired
I’ve to write too much
I don’t get on with teachers
It gets too loud
It’s ok at break
I do be with my friends
