Mary,
let your hair down
Just close your eyes
I'll help you realize
All the lines aren't
real
The pins in your hair
Discord.
The year has been a continuous spiral of the good and the bad,
Thoughts of what I lost and what I've had.
Worry for my future and the pile of expenses.
I am an artist
I am a painter
I am the brush, flowing on the canvas
I am the canvas, being tickled by the hairs of the brush
I am the color, being picked to make a master piece
I am the master piece
Why do you expect so much, why do you think I did this and that?
Is it because my lips, hips, and chest are full, or because of the arch in my back?
You told me you loved me
You said I was pretty
Honestly was it all out of pity?
I cried for you
I would have died for you.
Independence is.
Independence is finding a place.
Independence, is losing hold of what reality existed before.
You’re hiding inside a tight locked case.
And why? Because you want more.
More approval,
I am perseverant.
They tell me I can't, I say I can and will.
No challenge or obstacle is too great.
Even through the toughest trials,
I will prevail and push through until I am succesful.
“Superhero”
Alexis TyAnn
From the time that we are little we are serenaded with stories of superheroes,
Sweeping in to save the day with their powers and their fancy capes
She sits in the room, with nothing to say,
The kids make fun of her features and hair
And she wonders, why they treat her this way?
When ‘all men are equal’.. And it’s not fair
This is a curse not a gift So what is my mission this is a skin condition Not one of my ambitionSo now here's your time to listen When people look at meand ask me what is on your arm I change the subject they should find some respect Not try
Something hand-made
can be just as beautiful
as something natural.
A stone, gothic
cathedral
can offer as much joy and
beauty
as a regenerative tree.
Standing in front of the mirror, what do you see? Is it the shade of your skin you can't stomach? Can't swallow the fact that you were born in a shade of black? Can't stand how the palm doesn't look like the black hand side?
I am Chase,
I am orginal,
I am me,
I am cool,
i am different,
I am me,
I am confident,
I am successful,
I am me
I am beautiful.
Some may choose to call me “vain” or “conceited” for this
but they don’t understand.
I choose to call myself beautiful
because sometimes I fail to see it.
I'm pretty fucking great.
Pshh, you know what they say...
Okay,
so I didn't start that way.
I started by living my life on the day-to-day,
had no friends, but what could I say?
I am of my own breed
To be unique Is not a passion,
To be unique comes and never leaves,
To be unique is always with you,
To be unique moves with me, like the seas.
I am of my own breed
The world is full of beauty
No one can deny
But when we look into a mirror
Most want to die
Why do we do that?
Hate what nature bestowed?
Everyone is perfect
Self-love is highly owed
"Simple person with a dream."
"Never been the luckiest."
"But somehow I'm still breathing."
Teenage angst, women wearing spanx to insecure to say thanks
can’t take a compliment their disaster’s imminent don’t really know if this is relavant but im doin this for the hell of it
Living my life secluded inside of this bubble named Passivity
She knows her name Oh Too Well
She holds me hostage .CAPTIVITY!
Restoring me.
Keeping me from enjoying fun activities
I didn’t take that razor
To end my life
Or to show the world
How unhappy I was
They say you never hear "YOLO"
And classy in the same sentence.
"They are total opposites... right?"
But I disagree.
The word "YOLO" may not seem "classy"
But I think it depends on the person.
