He's Just a Friend
He's just a friend,
And that is enough.
I know that fact for sure
And I'm certain he knows it too.

Rosalind, with the bedroom of her heart (blackout poetry)
Rosalind, with the bedroom of her heart.
Rosalind, laughing alone among beauty.

never really love
What you gave me everyday
Was never really love.
It was toxic, poison,
You stained my blood black.

lonely thoughts
I run to the forest,
The colors remind me

You push me out to sea

just another step.

of the pain that makes you hollow.
Just one more sweet smile

But I'm repulsed in horror
At what is on stage

Why I write
I write to relate,
and to speak my truth.
I write to prove I know pain,
and to see that others do too.
I write to be heard.
When the world becomes a deaf frustration,

For Every Time
Every time a women makes 87 cents
A man makes a dollar
For every time a woman gets spoken down on
A man is the speaker
For every time a woman gets called weak
A man is weaker
