What TV shows did you watch as a kid?


I wrote this poem in August of 2022.

the consequences of being a hopeless romantic outweigh any rewards
everytime I start to believe in love it never works out
Everytime I start to believe in love it ends up in chaos and destruction
and i try and try again only always to have the same ending
and after 26 years of doing this-I donβt have it in me
to endure around love failure
someone who appears sure of me-only for them to change their mind
about me on a whim
the consequences of being a hopeless romantic has filled a dozen
notebooks and journals with sorrow and grief

No one is coming to rescue you, princess
no matter how much you wish to be saved or try your hardest to manifest
a prince to carry the heavy burden of responsibility
youβre constantly lifting
No one is coming to save you, princess
Itβs up to you to save yourself
Itβs up to you to continue to work hard
and be selective on what you expend
your energy on
No one is coming to help you, princess
Youβre no longer relying on others
for a sense of identity or security
and youβre now an independent Queen
whoβs learned only she herself
can save herself and is wise enough to block out
any negativity or toxicity
that threatens her autonomy
or wants to bring on another
Emotional relapse

Iβm curious about the aliens on earth
and if theyβre into NSA, telepathic sex
the kind where I get to lie down
and sleep, and they come into my dreams
and make me have multiple orgasms
Over and over again
perhaps these are crazy thoughts
from a middle-aged woman
whoβs been celibate for more than a year
And is oh so thirsty for intimacy
but canβt stand the thought of a man
getting near me
it makes me want to vomit
at this point Iβd take some extra terrestrial
Out of the universe sex without any feelings involved
the kind that fixes my craving for connection
and intimacy
the kind that doesnβt bring me another episode
of psychosis

My bra is the milkshake that brings men to my playground
It gives me the cleavage that makes them feel like theyβre in love
Theyβll claim it’s my words or my eyes they’re in love with , but letβs not kid ourselves
Itβs really my majestic breasts that pop out with their own personalities
they fuel their many exotic and erotic fantasies

anything resembling love threatens the home Iβve built
over the past two years
and yet the romantic threads in me wonβt disappear
they want to weave another love story
they want to be pulled into the magic to getting know
someone new
and having arms to call home
I wrote this poem in August of 2022.

My love data tells me I shouldnβt try again because every time
I crash and burn and cause trauma and drama
because every time it ends, I get hateful and want revenge
and While I do appreciate the poetry that comes
after every broken relationship
I donβt think I can withstand the heartbreak and hardship
the next time it ends

Am I doomed to men trying me on
just so they can change their minds-
days, weeks, months, years later
is it some kind of karmic energy in me
I still havenβt found the remedy for?
Perhaps I really need to stop trying
to find hope in love
and stick to whatβs working for me
and thatβs being alone
I wrote this poem in August of 2020.

I met you on a cold January night at the IHOP
across your apartment complex
As I was eating up my loneliness
with scrambled eggs and coffee
I hoped you couldnβt see remnants
of tears that had fallen before you came
and you sat across from me
and as we awkwardly made conversation
I wondered if you would be the one
to breathe new life into my almost dead existence
I wondered if your kiss would help me
reignite a fire of desire, would remind me
Iβm more than a wife and mother
But most of all I wondered if maybe, just maybe
someone would finally love me

Children should be seen, and not heard is one tradition Iβll never keep
It would mean invalidating my childrenβs feelings
It would mean for them to have years of therapy trying to find their sense of identity
It would mean to reduce them to shadows who only speak when spoken to
It would mean passing them the torch of a generational curse that makes them question their self-worth over and over again
So everyone can judge me or criticize my parenting all they want
I like my children to not just be seen but also heard
even if itβs sometimes loud and boisterous
even if it sometimes sounds disrespectful
Itβs important for their emotional growth, for their confidence
and to break and heal the generational curse where children are silenced
Here’s the English version of this poem:
Poetry: Dying Innocence
Temblaba con vergΓΌenza por la electricidad
que sentΓa entre sus piernas
serΓa esto la maldad del cual las monjas
que le habΓan advertido
estaba desesperado por parar
pero no podΓa
seria que acabarΓa quemΓ‘ndose en el infierno
por ser adicta al placer que sentΓa
cada vez que se entregaba a Γ©l
una caricia de Γ©l y ella
se convierte de santa a pecadora
