Strong, Stronger

wring out the tears
and let them fall
rise
to the top
we are women
we are strong
stronger
than ever
we face sexisem
with fury and pride
stronger than anyone else
ever will be able to
we do not stand aside
and let boys and men
take our place
we are strong
stronger
than anyone can ever be
and we will not
let our places be take
we will stand out ground
and be strong
stronger
than ever.

  • Thoughts after the fair

    I’ve never enjoyed the feeling of being sick to your stomach on a fair ride. Maybe I just don’t have the iron-willed intestines that all of my friends seem to have, because I get sick from going on the teacups at a normal speed.

  • october, my love

    october,
    my love,
    it is good to see you once again.

    although it appears i have missed
    your grand entrance,
    while i left the room.

    i walked along the street to visit you,
    and looked up,
  • scratches

    skin pulled taut and tight
    burning like the light
    that seeps through cracks
    underneath the door

    from stray branches and walking
    throughout the woods, balking
    at the idea
    of no path

    water rests on skin
