la desgracia me desgasta y casi me mata porque amo en una forma inmensa y pura y cuando el amor me abandona quiero morir y digo, esta última desgracia se siente como un terremoto catastrófico y prefiero cortarme mis venas que sentir esto denuevo
me manifesting that one day I’ll be holding a book with my stories
middle age me is not seeking revenge on all who caused me trauma I’m simply trying to make sense of the fuckery that happened to me I’m simply trying to address the unhealed trauma that still lies within me and haunts me in my dreams I’m trying to process and understand that I never deserved any of it I’m trying to get rid of that shame and guilt I’ve carried from it and while sometimes that looks vindictive I’m sorry but the only way to my journey in healing work is through uninhibited storytelling
the empty wineglass sits at the edge of the coffee table after I’ve written another poem about you it needs to be refilled so my mind gets tired of being inspired by the memory of you
next valentine’s day I want to be calm especially if I’m still alone I want my nervous system to be ultra regulated and not the mess it currently is
next valentine’s day I don’t want to entertain vengeful fantasies of getting my baseball bat to scare couples in the middle of their romantic dinner
Next valentine’s day I don’t 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 valentine’s day I’m 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
I’ve 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 wouldn’t 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 girl’s 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, it’d 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 that’s 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
I’m 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 doesn’t call me angel or princess only calls me by my name a heartbeat who’ll 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
I’m pregnant, it’s yours, I want to keep it I start crying “Just get rid of it you tell me he fairytale died that day
I’m at your apartment drunk And you;re drunk, we fight, then we kiss And you take me in-but then you feel guilt And kick me out I The fairytale died that day
I’m at your apartment I want to hold you and kiss you I yearn for you You imply I can’t be trusted The fairytale died that day
Diseased hip evicted, shiny aluminum to replace it 6 inch scar needed to better my life 80 minutes of the Drs doing their magic Cutting into me and making me whole a recovery period of 6 weeks or so they say third time trying to fix my hip hopefully the third time is a charm all of this just for being born broken, Damaged and different
everyone admires my strength and resilience and all I dream about is one day not being defined by everything I’ve had to overcome, of ne day not being called resilient and being seen as more than the turmoil I’ve had to endure and over come
Excitement over our new computer I can’t wait to get into those yahoo and aol chatrooms I’ll bet I’ll meet someone and maybe even fall in love maybe I’ll have better luck find a man online than I have in real life maybe the man I find will stay and become my soulmate
burning house, no way out Stuck in bed as I call out for help no one comes, as the flame gets closer and closer to me and there is no way out, is this the end of me am I about to meet God or Satan or worse end up in purgatory
once upon a time I wrote a lovely poem about us and called it by starlight it told the story of our first night but now you’re gone and all I’m left with are memories of who we once were and while I miss you I know it’s better this way we both needed a clean slate from our baggage to start anew with someone else we both needed to have a brand new start with someone who fits into the new versions of who we are now
My former lover prays for me because I won’t fuck him Is this how it feels like to change my story from on call whore to an I’m healing and deserve better “Woman Is this how it feels like to to go from fun girl to healthy woman I use to measure my worth by who loved me or who wanted to fuck me but those days of impulsivity and “hey, this will be fun” are long gone Now are the days of painful transformations,therapy worksheets, self reflection and most importantly self love So I put away my sexy vixen persona And I put on my ” “I’m authentic without apologies persona” I’ve stopped living to please others and now live to please myself
