I need to exorcize you and you out of me before I step into a new chapter of love Itβs not fair to him to allow past chapters to haunt me and make me question my sanity and maybe thatβs ghosting you and sharing our story of toxic love in spanish and while my methods may be a tad questionable itβs the best I can do for now and for me, itβs enough
there are days I donβt feel strong enough to be their mom maybe itβs insecurity that weighs heavily on me after every fight, after every conflict it was easier when they were small and I was their favorite person the one they ran to the moment I opened the door nowadays I work much and they have their own interests to have much to do with me nowadays they bring up grievances of everything Iβve done and am doing wrong is this karma for being a bad daughter to my mom is this karma for being selfish and self absorbed for a few years of their lives Who knows- maybe itβs not about being strong, being right, or being respected maybe itβs about them knowing they are loved
my joe goldberg is back and a sense of doom overwhelms me especially because I know how psychol this Joe is from thinking heβs in love with me because of my blog to remember the constant barrage of harassment I endured from him for a few years, I got a major case of the icks and while I should be extra happy my blog is getting ten time the views it normally gets it creeps me out entirely knowing itβs him knowing that somehow my blog and my pics on there are fodder for his spank back and his many delusions
one day I’m going to make her proud of me with my book
it found me on a tuesday afternoon, inspiration for a book a poetry book of sorts telling my life story and while this has happened many times I pray this one sticks because I have all of my material in my google docs at the very least, itβs given me inspiration as to where to go next
itβs the hunger games time again I meant the MET Gala where celebrities show off their ostentatious and grotesque expensive outfits while the majority of us are trying to make sure all of the bills are paid, wondering if we do indeed deserve our weekly treat at starbucks, while some of us are being deported to countries we donβt belong to or that we donβt remember for the sole crime of being brown and having the right documents
itβs the hunger games time again oh I meant the MET Gala and of course weβre shocked Sabrina didnβt wear pants and that Rihanna is pregnant again even though half a world away in Gaza, moms are burying their children, thatβs if theyβre lucky to find them under the rubble and the Good Ole USA is on itβs way to becoming a Nazi state and half of us are in a cult devoted to Trump while the other half are struggling and unsure of where to look for comfort, for reprieve from all of the fires burning
some storms are worth the rainbows that come after them like the first steps taken after an invasive and life changing surgery like the victory dinner after the termination of a marriage that never should have happened like the first drive alone after beating a 15 year driving phobia like the child graduating at the top 10 percent of his class even though the odds were stacked against him like the rainbow child born after enduring the nightmare of losing one like still being here and writing a poem about storms and rainbows even though many times youβve been tempted by thanatos whispers to end it some storms are worth the rainbows that come after them because rainbows are hope, magic, and joy that make a life worth living
The first and last time I tried to die I tried to get everything right I wrote letters to my loved ones and swallow each pill one by one All that was easy enough but really dying was tough Something inside me was too stubborn And sent one last text out to a friend who alerted my husband Between her and him, I never reached my end but in that moment I understood the suicidal writers and poets Living is exhausting,living is agonizing I yearned for the sweetness of death to take away my mediocre breath But the universe or God had other plans And today I finally understand Living is painful,living is terrible But living is also beautiful and really living is admirable
I never belonged to you or him I belong to the world, the universe and God I belong to myself, to my ancestors I belong to my words for better or worse I belong to poetry and prose
I keep trying to write my next chapter of love and find my next ex but this time itβs difficult and tricky since Iβm not desperate, Iβm not crazy and I have standards and I donβt automatically swipe right on 10 out of 10 face card, I really observe where they stand on important issues like will they make the main and only romantic protagonist in their life? will they fetichize me like Iβm some cute, sexy, and exotic little thing? are they the kind of person to cheer if anyone in my family gets deported so many things to ponder about as I try to find my next ex perhaps, Iβm overthinking this and should try to not be so picky then again, I know how quickly the romantic in me cling to someone the minute I feel chemistry, the minute they feel like home to me only for me to break apart catastrophically when it all comes crashing down nah, I canβt let that happen ever again so this time around, itβs best to be strategic and think logically to myself rule with my head instead of my heart
The language of my healing is poetry Poetry evokes the emotions out of me Poetry evokes love, hate,joy and anger Poetry evokes moments of pleasure Poetry evokes everything I canβt bring myself to say out loud Poetry heals and saves me
Downloaded hinge to become unhinged the fountain of inspiration was waning and I needed a dose of new character energy even if some of those characters are icky and shady even if some of those characters annoy me I canβt keep writing about the same old repetitive stories reheating old trauma for the purpose of making art after a while, it gets exhausting after a while, it makes no sense since Iβve forgiven them all and honestly, I canβt do another 4 years of Trump Celibate and devoid of any romantic energy
this was the image that inspired me to write this poem
I saw a cross written in the sky and I wondered, βIs that you God? Is that your sign that I shouldnβt lose faith or hope and I need to keep going,to keep living? Is that you God ? Telling me everything will be fine and one day peace will be mine
I divorce myself from drama I marry the calm I divorce myself from lies I marry the truth I divorce myself from faking it I marry being authentic I divorce myself from self hatred I marry self love
