I wish I would have made friends with the monster under my bed,instead of building a prejudice with the atrocities people had said.All the years I spent, running to my bed,
I once was told I was never to succeed,
Because of my skin color and the way that I breathe.
Although I am not privileged,
Nor do I have eyes deep as ocean blues,
I am human and I refuse to lose.
Two people were born with the capacity to love and be loved. They lived their lives in sepearte towns, with rival football teams and differing zipcodes. They went to college together and never met.
A bone shivering day in February,
I stay at a friend's house with a few of my friends.
My friend's parents happen to have a friend over.
He's nice enough, and he drinks for hours on end.
You march,
You speak.
You enter in your piece or pieces.
You demand respect but ignore mine.
I march,
I speak.
I'm a bigot.
I'm ignorant.
You want all of your rights,
I never thought my sexuality
The way I love
Would become the center of my world
It would be the sun around which I revolve
I didn't think I would become so obsessed
So focused on finding myself
He doesn't have too many friends
Then again, it's a small school
None of us have too many friends
But he doesn't have too many friends
And he's walking down the hall
And someone yells out
"Hey! Look!
Im tired
tired of waiting to have a perfect body
tired of all the screaming
tired of all the lies
tired of not being perfect
why cant life be easy
why cant our generation be in peace
My Page
My page lies motionless as you hover above
About to descend, you grip your pen with strong desire
Careful not to tear my tenderness with your touch
(spanish version)
Siguen siendo noches frías
por más felices los días.
Le pido a mi destino,
no seas tan clandestino,
pues me vuelvo insegura.
No puede ser este mi aura…
I am a woman.
That means, I can do whatever I please with my body.
Decorate it.
Show off as much skin as I want.
Do whomever I please.
Those who selfishly indulged in bailoutsInstead of going bankrupt,Who refurnished their lavish offices,Bought new gas guzzling cars andExpensive second homes with theirTax breaks and bonuses,
What does it mean to be a boy or a girl?
What does the phase "you throw like a girl" even mean?
And why is it a girl can't do the same things a boy can do?
Why is pink deem a girly color and blue is meant for a baby boy?
