Poetry found me when I could no longer see myself.When writing what I felt became my only release. When my heartbeat could not steady, my hands wrote the words to calm the rhythm.It does not have to beautiful or rhyme,
Daughter of the single widow,
No, daughter of strong indepenent woman.
Victim of rape,
No, survivor of sexual assault.
Seventeen year-old m.i.l.f.,
No, young, independent, and beautiful single mother.
That girl who looks better with a smile
No dark clouds on her shoulders
Works hard to make a way
Provides what she can..Naiv(E)
Some should call her a little soldier
Book smart yet shy
Find your placeWhether it be crowdedAnd shroudedMaybe people galoreBut something you should know isYou may still be aloneYour place may be crampedSmashed and bashedInto a tiny corner
You don't really follow dreams
You fight, You chase
You lose, You win
A struggle of accepting and denying
parts of what you believe.
Defining why you are here.
Why you should be
Define yourself
Are you blending into the background
Like the kids in the back of class
Or are you as bright as
The pink elephant in the middle of the room
Does your mind sit still
Like a singer on hiatus
