please don’t speak to me as though you know me. you haven’t known me for the past two years.
“When I face the desolate impossibility of writing five hundred pages a sick...”
– TO all the writers out there. Word of advice from John Steinbeck in his great travel journal/novel Travels with Charley in Search of America
To the hopeless romantics...oh wait...that's me.
What can I say about this day. Let’s begin with my initial sentiment for this particular day of the year and later move on to my current emotions. For one, I didn’t really believe in Valentine’s Day. I was one of the many who claimed that everyday out of the year should be treated like Valentine’s day. Where no one gets taken advantage of and love is the only...
Do you remember
Do you remember the first time we held hands?
The way ours intertwined so perfectly, so quietly?
How when you held it, it felt like home?
It felt like heaven beneath the skies that promised more.
It was our first kiss we never had.
Our first dance that our world wasn’t ready to have.
So passionate and loving beneath my skin,
I couldn’t have wished for something better than...

Freedom beyond this
I can’t breathe or walk away
as I feel his hands enclasp my throat
Which once was around my waist
that let me feel his love between our embrace.
I feel the fear grow between our once jointed bodies
not knowing what lies ahead.
Would it be life that I feel once he
unleashes his hold against my will?
Or would I see bodies pass me
as I thrash for little air that he allows?
Rage...
Quiet Love
**To the lovers that could never say what their hearts wanted because time was their enemy**
I wanna speak words to you that Shakespeare, Sidney,
and Petrarch could never say to you.
‘Cause words they write could never come
to an ounce of the love I’ve ever felt for you.
They speak of admiration and seduction while I love

The Biggest Mistake
—A man’s biggest mistake is giving another man the chance to make his woman happy.—
A chance for rebuttal(?)
—A woman’s mistake is running to another man for comfort when all she had to do was go back to the man at home.—
That moment in a relationship when two people feel...
Privileged
Have you ever spoken to someone about something that was important to you? What was his/her response? What did he/she say? How did he/she react?
I’ve noticed that every time I shared my thoughts to my boyfriend, he always gave me the same expression. He gave me this intense look, of awareness. No one I know has ever given me the look that he gives me. Every time I’ve allowed...

Faced Down by onepeacepoetry:
Hands down I just basically feel as though I’ve let everyone around me down Should I feel this way? Most likely not But inside my heart there’s a knot And I can’t seem to Set it free As there is too much Bothering me
Hands down Face down Why has everything Turned upside down
The funny thing about poetry is the poetic license that is attached to each working...

What is going on with our world?! Why is education the least of the USA’s concerns?! They claim, but never do! This includes not just the top dogs who make financial cuts on education, but even the teachers who (not all, but one too many) sit back and just do the minimum, and the parents who put all the...
Oh my word…was ‘bout to post a picture of myself just waking up…realized…I’m flippin’ ugly! Lmfao!!

Shine bright, my love,
as I live this life for you and me.
Stay forever in my memories for as long as you can
as I tread along this path of undoing my wrong
for the right I could never give you.
Stay with me, I beg, unless you find a better life
away from me.
But as you take your steps away from the world
I gave you no choice to,
do look back to see all the greatness i wanted for you.

Penny for your thoughts ($0.07)
“I just called to tell you that ‘I miss you’.”
Word of advice to the ladies: Just take it for what it is. Don’t read into it. Men AND society say that women are complex mammals. Apparently, we think more than necessary, assume the unimaginable, and question everything that hits us. Our defense/response to those allegations: we’re the way we are...

Doubting Oneself
One of the most reoccurring adversity that appears in everyone’s life is personal doubt. It’s the one thing that others can’t cure. It’s the struggle that happens internally and can only be “fixed” by oneself, one’s courage to surpass the thing that everyone knows so well will come back to haunt each individual at his weakest moment. [He]...
“What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.”
^ Not at All!! ;) FOr whoever even cares to read my update from my “Rant,” here it is for ya. While although I dreaded the time it took to make myself “pretty,” it was all worth it ALL BECAUSE I was able to contribute to my bestest’s birthday wish—to have a blast.
I’m not that type of girl that...
Rant
Honest to goodness truth (?)
I’m not ready to get owned by Vegas w/out my boo. I don’t feel right “trying” to dress up a certain way because imma be surrounded by girls who dress the “Vegas-way.” I AIN’T LIKE THAT! And if I were, I’d ONLY want to be that way with my boo. I’ve been saying for the past few years “Thank the lord...

Food for the soul
Honestly, I gave college my all. I never gave a damn about anything so much. And when I look at things realistically, that degree that I get doesn’t even come close to defining me. It neither shows my true accomplishments, my strengths, nor the struggles. So while college is an important element to life, it’s not everyone’s path. You don’t need a degree to persevere. ...
Response to rainyzerox's truth-filled poem "Love:... →
**To my dearest friend, writer, and poet—Rainyzerox:
I couldn’t help but be moved by your words that you praise as merely mediocre. It rings so much truth that I couldn’t help but get inspired to write an attempted poetic response to “Love: Commit” (found in italics). I hope you find it humorous and yet also worthy of being claimed as a response to your poem. A...
**It’s been a long time since I’ve written my last poem. Only a few knows why, and only so little truly understand. I hope this piece represents the steps I will begin to take from the silent and fearful creativity that stirred within my blood, to the resonating inspiration that I will never forget and I hope will always be heard within each piece I present. May you enjoy everything...

I HATE how CERTAIN ppl can get under my skin SO easily…all because of their obnoxious, ignorant, lack of mindful thinking before rightful speech
#getoveryourself
today i told him one of my biggest concerns: how recently his presence has been absent in my dreams. that rather than seeing him, in the previous night i had seen a another figure approaching me and pursuing me. i cried not knowing why. i just knew that i missed him and not the fragmented figment of my own subconscious creation. I expected him to grow concerned and worried, but rather, he held...
One of the most important things everyone should know/do/remember is that we all need to be our own heroes…BUT when that day comes when you just need someone to be your hero, it’s okay to let someone save you. Every hero has their weaknesses. There comes a time when everyone eventually needs a person who will free us from it when we can’t do it on our own.
I’m getting a bit lost with all of the things that are going on in my life. I know that when I step outside of my stress, I see that I have so many things to be grateful for; how there are so much more bigger problems out there beside myself or my life. I see it. I know it. But mentally and emotionally, I’m just lost and out of tuned. For the past few months, I’ve been...

In regards to my current statues—TAKEN—People ask me: ”Are you two gonna get married?” ”Do you think this is it?” “Is he the one?”
Let’s answer the last question first—is he the one?—He’s the one because we work at it. We work at this relationship everyday, even when we don’t speak to each other. Any person can be...
what’s up with this fad of writing “I’m __ weeks, and I’m craving ___.” I honestly don’t get it AND find no humor in it. I’m those party poopers who don’t want to get it either. Must be because it hits too close to home…
There might be something behind it, but mindfulness is something that should be practiced…

The thing about it all is that eventually you have to choose whether or not you want to move forward in your life. Once you decide, it’s a matter of how you want to achieve what you’ve decided. Even after you’ve planned everything out, the scary part has not yet been passed. The fear is realizing that your choices can be empty because of your inability to...
gonna move back home soon. surprisingly, i’m stoked! can’t wait to paint my room and rearrange everything!
oh man! i’m not a big fan of my birthday or anything, but because i am on a budget cut (because i am currently a college, unemployed graduate), i think i’m going to come up with a birthday wish list :D
i love knowing that his parents like to talk openly to me about our wedding day. haha! shows how much they love me and how irreplaceable i am (*wink wink*). yea. i’m getting a little flattered, but shoot…3.5 good years of hell (oxymoron?) in the relationship to have something so amazing now, i’mma let myself feel this good :)

Fear, the love of my life
I’m not sure if I wrote anything like this before, I’m sure I did, but it’s something I just have to voice.
I’m at this place in my life that i call a “cliff-hanger.” I’m officially no longer a college student. I’m not really any “type” of student besides a student of life, but everyone is for the most part. While most love the...

as of this moment, I should be in the quantitative section of the GRE, but I’m not. I’m sitting on my bed in my apartment. I’ve been planning to take this test since April! What’s going on? Well, everything’s changed things in the past three days. First off, I signed up for June 15th at 8am because I was enrolled in a 1 day/7week Princeton Review GRE Prep course....

Honest Truth
i’m burnt out, but this image of me “always pulling it off” is deteriorating me. i’m worn out and is in search of a break, but barely anyone understands how vulnerable i am. every time i state my internal concerns, it remains silent because “it’s you. you always do fine.” i’m vulnerable, exhausted, and tired. i’ve been pushed around, worn...
at this moment marks exactly one year…forever in my heart…

Here’s a blessing that a child has, and a flaw but an entity that makes a mother a mom:
Moms never ask their child to say sorry.
cut me, toss me.
rip me into pieces, and disregard me.
treat me the way you see my worth.
beat me, rape me
of all that i ever was.
strip me of the creativity that i once held.
give me the inspiring words of a mad poet.
take away the words of a lover
and replace it with words of pain
so that i may mimic the degree
of suffering in which you inflict on me.
treat me the way you’d...
