I wrote this poem in September of 2025.

Sometimes the poem just writes itself
without asking me what I want
the rage, the grief,over what this world
is becoming seeps out of my pen
and stains the paper I wanted to write
a love poem on
I wrote this poem in September of 2019 in response to El Paso Walmart Shooting on August 3rd of 2019. Here is a link to it : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_El_Paso_Walmart_shooting

he came for my people
followed the rhetoric of our hate fueled president
men, women, children killed in cold blood
because they were the wrong race, the wrong color
spoke the wrong language
he came for βUSβ
the so-called invaders
him at just 21 years old filled with hatred from head to toe
brainwashed by white supremacy
twenty two lives taken as a consequence of a monstrous ideology
twenty two families who will forever grieve and mourn
the neverending sorrow loss of their loved ones taken too soon
twenty two families with an infinity of questions and no real answers
and as usual the useless thoughts and prayers come,
and the law makers are the worst,
making empty promises to fight this American epidemic
but after a few days, they will forget like everyone else
itβs no longer a question of why this happened
ttβs become a question of when will be the next time

My jealousy is green and monstrous-
Its big and dramatic
Itβs almost epic and iβm like dammit
I wish I wasnβt like this
but maybe itβs time to accept it
itβs not that Iβm toxic
Or that something is wrong with me
I just need a lover who only has eyes for me,
who doesnβt think about other options
when heβs with me
whoβs so obsessed with me,
Iβm like the air he needs to breathe
in order to live

I made promises to myself after your departure-
I promise to be completely myself for next love candidate-
No matter how crazy that may look like-
I promise to show him my prose and poetry-
even if it opens a door to hurtful truths
he deserves to know my past if he wants to be part of my present
and form a part of my future-
I promise to not place him on a pedestal
Iβll look for his humanity, truth, and accept him for who he is
and no matter how much I love him-
I wonβt accommodate to him or compromise my integrity
Heβll have to learn to live with and love the strong woman I am today

Back to black blast from my car radio as I drive aimlessly in the rain
I have a boyfriend but I still feel alone
It turns out that being in a relationship isnβt the cure for my loneliness after all
Some people will say itβs the long distance, others will say itβs how I still keep my guard up
I think itβs a mixture of both and how I have a tendency to fuck up in love

I need to head back to the gym before my algorithm notices
and starts sending me ads about BBLs and Ozempic
I need to head back to the gym and make it part of my weekly routine
instead of constantly standing still
I need to head back to the gym, I need those endorphins now more
than ever as another financial crises looms over me
and I donβt know how to get under it
give me 45 minutes at the gym to clear my head
strategize about my next to make sure my family
doesnβt fall into poverty

The last tarot card I pull said everything is working in my favor
and yet here I am knee deep in my depression as my world is full of so many changes
itβs hard for me to keep up with
and I feel like I’m playing emotional parkour at double time. not fully processing one
transition before facing the next
and I donβt remember whenβs the last time Iβve been to the gym
itβs to suffice to say, Iβve stopped caring about how much weight Iβve gained
but I should considering I donβt have money for new clothes since Iβm as broke
as a college student who buys ramen by the bulk for sustenance on most days
but here my tarot say there are better days to come
and lately Iβm impatient and shake my fists at the sky yelling βwhenβ

Iβve tried to keep my life private but I have a talent for oversharing
Especially when Iβm anxious
Especially when Iβm drunk and youβll think itβs charming at first
Until one day I explode and then youβll say goodbye
And Iβll get super salty, cry, and write

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
