Iβd never say I lost time with any of my love stories- they all taught me something about myself They all inspired me to write poetry and two of them help me create my three kings even if some of my love stories left me decimated and almost destroyed me they were all worthy for the love I felt the growth and progress I had
next valentineβs day I want to be calm especially if Iβm still alone I want my nervous system to be ultra regulated and not the mess it currently is
next valentineβs day I donβt want to entertain vengeful fantasies of getting my baseball bat to scare couples in the middle of their romantic dinner
Next valentineβs day I donβt to keep playing the role of bitter,jaded, and lonely bitch who allows herself to become a wreck at the mere mention of romantic love
Next valentineβs day Iβm rewriting the script of grief stricken lonely girl and will make it a day that will reflect on all of the love I have in my life
Iβve written dozens and dozens of poems about our story of lust and love but today I found your purpose with you I found inspiration and motivation to make myself better hoping you could really love me hoping you wouldnβt see me as just a sexual commodity hoping to make myself worthy of you and while now I see it was a delusion of mine to do all of these things for your love it still helped me to become better than before it still brought me the resilience, strength and courage to start living the life I always wanted to live and plan the future I had always dreamed of with you and after you- I became the empowered woman I am today and for that I thank you
never set out to become a feminist but somehow ended up becoming everything opposite of what I was taught a woman should be in my young girlβs mind a husband and children should have made me happy even when I observed all of the women around drown in misery always complaining about their husbands and kids I thought that maybe with me, itβd be different and when I found myself in my grown up conditioned woman narrative I almost tried to die in that reality and knew it was never for me and for a while I searched for answers in others until I looked within and understood, i alone am magic I alone without a man am really enough and the only one responsible for my happiness and to make my dreams come true all a man ever did was drag me down and made me feel like the dirt on his shoe or like an ornament to take out at times for his convenience and when I realized all of this thatβs when I became an unintentional feminist, unapologetic and unashamed to be the woman I always wanted to be but had been too afraid to embrace until my middle age
Iβm looking for the rhythm of a new heartbeat to fall in love with A heartbeat that goes with the flow of my intense intimacy A heartbeat who doesnβt call me angel or princess only calls me by my name a heartbeat whoβll fall in love with the real me and not the idea they have of me or the persona I play on social media A heartbeat who can handle my crazy and chaos A heartbeat who accepts and understands me and never tries to change me
me and my family have immigration jokes for day on end and some of my friends think thatβs sick and awful but its one of the only things that helps me and my family keep our sanity in Trumpβs American is making fun of our misery and misfortune
itβs how weβve survived generations of corrupt governments and wannabe dictators its how weβve passed resilience and strength to future generations
sure, we may cry at first as the life weβve worked hard for starts falling apart and our plans for the future are shattered because of a few megarich and corrupt maga idiots who run our government but right after we wipe our tears and break out in jokes and laughter especially now that whatβs supposed to be the land of the free gets more and more fascist and we swim closer and closer to nazi waters the only thing we can do is try to find a way to smile, to laugh, to find a bit of joy no matter how fucked up in may seem in this dystopian clusterfuck
rose gold cross ripped from her neck handcuffs cutting into her smalls wrists mami and papi canβt explain why theyβre nowhere to be found she thought officers were supposed to be good people but they hurl insults at her and call her a criminal and at 10 she can hardly grasped the severity of the situation they tell her over and over again βweβre taking you back to where you came fromβ and itβs beyond her compression because her birth certificate says Illinois because America is the only home sheβs ever known
Iβm pregnant, it’s yours, I want to keep it I start crying βJust get rid of it you tell me he fairytale died that day

Donβt fall in love with me he said to me right after he got off from me he wanted to make sure I didnβt get the wrong idea So he dotted his Iβs and Tβs of casual fucking And I didnβt go into a love hysteria But it was already too late My intense emotions couldnβt wait βI love him, heβs my love kingβ I was already thinking the truth is No one can control a borderlineβs mind And itβs not his fault of mine that I catch feelings easily even when you use me sexually It wonβt matter what you say My mind wonβt be swayed

everyone admires my strength and resilience and all I dream about is one day not being defined by everything Iβve had to overcome, of ne day not being called resilient and being seen as more than the turmoil Iβve had to endure and over come
The winds of defiance rules my heart I love someone I shouldnβt Who stirs up hate and love within me I feel underwhelmed by everything wonderful in my life The winds of defiance rule my heart And I shouldnβt want to run from my beautiful lover and yet I want to And I desire danger and intensity even if what I really need is peace and calm
