Self Esteem
"She looks just like you!"
They say, and I beam!
But they're saying much more
than their saying seems…
For I'd never say to her
what I constantly say to me…
("You don't measure up,
you can't be enough!
You're ugly, you're stupid,
just keep your mouth shut!")
My mind in shock,
my heart so hurt,
To even think about speaking...

The tattoos all over the body of that young ladyThe tattoos all over the body of that young lady ~
what will they look like when she's seventy or eighty?
I'm afraid the ass of that sweet young lass
smelling flowers above her reclining lover in the grass
will slowly start squatting down on his bearded face, alas....

Interview with a FetusWomb
of woes,
why, plague me?
Shut up! It's you
in this combat zone
alone, and questioning.
It's not even a baby.
How do I bear this transgression?
Ask Alexa. Not real yet, Ma.
But, I'd figure, two weeks before you show....

My Body Is My FriendI stare timidly into the softly lit mirror,
Its gaze staring back at me unrecognizable.
I've been told this person is my friend,
But its reflection paints a different picture.
Its mixture mixes a mess of colors I never thought go together anyway.
A bit ghostly.
I trace its outline carefully -
A bump here, a dent there, extra padding everywhere -
So...

SO GREATPowerful and sustained
Biblical words that will always remain
True
Just pursue
The future in the Almighty hands
Everything at his command
Promises are always honest
Blessings are true
The journey that needs to pursue
Merciful and Kind
A Holy Man that is genuine
Blessed it Assurance
Enriched influence
Changeable skies
No changeable ways
Guiding light with understanding
Yesterday’s struggle
Tomorrows overcome
Praying vintage
Daily chore
A need to explore
No ignore

What to Wear?You say
It's not my fault
For being human
But still
You put me in a box
You tell me I cannot
Wear my favorite clothes
Because
Of men
How they
Will do anything
But why should I
Change so they don't have to?
Why should I
Pretend I'm not a woman?
Why is what I wear
Anyone's problem but mine?
Simple answer:
It's not.
But who cares
About justice?
Who cares
About...

First ResponderAs the world tends to go around
I look up at the sky, from the ground
Can't shake this feeling of how blue it can be
So, I ask myself why has God chosen me
Don't get me wrong it a beautiful thing
To be chosen by the creator like an angel with wings
Then, out of the light comes the...

Let God Be The First In Your LifeLife is a precious gift
God has given each of one of us
Many people are passionate
About health, sports and diet
God created man not only carnal
We are created also spiritually
When taking care of your body
Don't forget about your soul also
If you forget spiritual food
About prayer, about living communion with God
Physical effort will come to naught
After all,...

You - Apr 10I woke this morning, lying next to you;
Contemplating your thighs, your breasts, your face,
as you still slept at rest in a dream’s embrace,
my eyes all over your fair features flew…
I lingered here and there—a glance askew
caught subtle movements in that furtive place
beneath your eyelids, wondering what chase
your soul pursued in the other blue…
You then...

The moment lives forever in my heart
it was a harrowing goodbye
his body still warm
when they took him away
the cold embrace of death
was not to get a hold of him
until i was willing to give way

Between the Lost GateWe want to visit heaven’s gate,
Men exclaimed in joy for their fate.
A 5 minutes tour made men fell,
Begging for more, heaven for hell.
And Oh! Her beauty stole her brain,
Grace to grass, she took stain for gain.
“My past will not matter” she says,
As men call in lust while she pays.
She sat there nude, the path runs...
