“We live in a society where I am a crazy bitch for going to any lengths to keep you away from me.”

Loneliness has taught me more things about myself than love ever has.

I love you I’m just trying not to wear my heart on my text messages.

We are survivors we glisten in the sun for all the nights I died alone I did not know another woman carried my song and it is beautiful now look what we have become.

Writing spiteful poetry in a chapel I realized I have to love you no matter what you do.

I do not want my worth to be centered in men with fangs for teeth I do not deserve to be degraded in a leather seat my worth is powerful you will never take that away from me.

Can anybody hear me? Are my words going to waste I need to believe there was a purpose to all the pain?

Sex is not a map to me anymore I am more than my physical body.

I fought my way through plastic men the woman in me learned how to show her teeth no matter how fucking unladylike they say it makes me.

I imagine poetry to be a living entity in me.

It may have been mad love but at least it made me taste something even if it was blood.

I believe the ashes of my past life were stepping stones to becoming free.

I wish I could drink my troubles away but I can’t even do that right.

Why do you call me only so you can control me god I know you are lying but remorse sounds so good in your throat?

Ana gets fed off compliments I’m only as sick as my secrets.

With all your words of glass, I felt the wedding dress rip If I don’t want to give you the satisfaction of seeing me cry why should I want to give you the rest of my life?

A woman of integrity I swallow stones I used to throw grace was daunting until I surrendered then everything changed a woman was made.

Make love to me in jazz, and then kiss all my blues away.

Nothing is forever, the pain goes away.

The past is only going to cause you more pain. Stay away from it.

Walking away from someone that you believe you love, despite them being an unhealthy match for you, is one of the hardest things to do.

Stay away from people you make you realize you’re hard to love.

Hold my hand, let’s fly away together.

No matter what happens, no matter how far you seem to be away from where you want to be, never stop believing that you will somehow make it.

You are one decision away from everything you want to achieve.
