you're a woman.

you can't be a scientist,
engineer, craftsman,
repairer, mechanic,
you're a woman

you can't wear
anything too revealing,
which would distract anyone,
you're a woman

you shouldn't be
swearing so much,
it's not ladylike,
you're a woman

you have to have kids!
you know how many people
want one?! you have to,
you're a woman

you have to wear dresses,
skirts, sexy clothes, be thin,
be happy no matter what,
you're a woman

you can't complain, that
others smack your butt
or touch you when you don't want to,
you're a woman

he probably insulted you,
because that's what you wanted,
should've not worn this!
you're a woman

let me tell you, what i can
and what i can't do.
because i am a woman.

i can do whatever the fuck
i want. i don't need your
consent to be myself.
i am a woman.

for Mama

thank you

thank you
for caring when no one else
seemed to care.

thank you
for letting me cry
when i needed it the most.

thank you
for holding me tight when all
my shattered pieces were falling apart.

thank you
for having my back
through my whole life.

thank you
for supporting me through
my countless highs and lows.

thank you
for showing me the meaning
of unconditional love.

thank you
for showing me
the true colors of life.

so you left.

and you think it's okay
to leave a girl behind
that doesn't know her own self?

you thought i'd be fine?
everything will be alright?
that i won't feel left behind?

you broke my soul.
and it wouldn't heal.
and it was left like this
for years.

a broken soul can hardly heal.
but when it does?
it's unbreakable.

you thought you hurt me?
well, you did.
but now i am thankful.

you broke my soul
but it made me unbreakable
and stronger than ever before.

thank you.

the eyes

the eyes that 
could easily open my soul
to spread all the
secrets i've ever kept.

the eyes that 
dig so deep
that i feel stripped
in a room full of
people.

the eyes that
show all kinds of
emotions
that i've never seen before

the eyes that
i could fall in love with
more and more
with every day that passes by.

the eyes that
speak more than a million
words just by
one single stare.

the eyes that
i noticed only in him.
