Mother
I was young when my dad left; each day was a burden on its own. Before he left, he and my mom would always quarrel, and I saw her tears—like rivers flowing from her eyes. The burden of motherhood caught up with her— yet through love, even though her heart shimmered, she stood by our side. I remember how, in the streets...

The Weight of Others' Expectations
Son of Man, pause before judgment's seat, Lest haste consume your soul's retreat. Do what's right, yet don't waste precious time, For pleasing all is a futile rhyme. In seeking validation, you may lose your way, And those you please will mock you on your final day. Marry with wisdom, don't borrow to impress, For pleasing others can lead to financial distress. You...

Premium Member Look but don't touch
Dante Gabriel Rosetti immortalized his lovers: the strong, graceful and voluptuous gentlewomen who could have been countesses and baronesses. Indeed, their beauty would stand the test of time. He shared their innate glamour with the world but kept for himself the spell of their smile. One by one voluptuous enchantress with eyes like daggers warned onlookers that beauty was hardly an open...

Her Smile
Her smile, the softly ringing bells of her laughter, the newly discovered talismans against encroaching death. The delicate light, faint but growing, that first lit and warmed her own glowing freckled skin, danced in her eyes like the sea in the summer, bounced off the glints of auburn in her hair until she seemed lighted from...

Leave Room in Your Heart
leave room in your heart for even more love like cracks in old stone still reaching above what’s broken can bloom if you give it the air what’s heavy can heal if you’re willing to care don’t seal every door don’t stitch every seam some hands were made to rebuild your dreams leave room in your heart even battered and rough there’s always more light if you leave it enough...

Premium Member Some people
Some people think that they’re always right. Some people ache to find a fight. Some people would smile while lying to you. Some people would burn the heart out of you. Some people never know when to quit. Some people destroy themselves to be super-fit. Some people will never know empathy. Some people love the birds when they sing. Some people would climb...

Women
Always being told who to be and how to act. Told I could be anything by Barbie, but then told to look like her. At 6 told that I had to be careful walking alone, At 10 was told “Bleed = breed” after my body started to change, At 12 was catcalled for the first time by old men, At 14...

FORGIVE
Forgive the day, the sun did not shine, for we needed the cloud to bring the rain. Forgive the mother and father, that was not perfect, for they loved you with all they had. Forgive the friend who hurt you, for they were misunderstood. Forgive the wife and husband who left you, for they did...

WOMEN POWER
Take your power women, and use it for good. Remember the times that we suffered with no path to grow. They made us work for free, and kill our children by abortion and lack of money to give birth. They made us choose life or death, by failing to give us choices. We needed free...

FREE THE UNBORN FROM DEATH
End the death of the unborn, and protect them from receiving any harm. Made by choice and killed by force. We should all remember that we were once in that spot. Love and kindness should be given to the unborn until they are born. No harm or death should be given to someone who has...

Premium Member Under the fortune of a bent life, I was comforted by the love of many women
Under the fortune of a bent life, I was comforted by the love of many women, waves of silk that soothed my soul, Delicate fingers twisting through my hair like the wind through autumn leaves, Warm arms like cloaks of light, shielding me from the cold of loneliness, Shoes carelessly tossed on the carpet of time, like dreams...

Premium Member I say
When I say I love you, it’s because you carved out a place in me, one I never knew was there. When I say I love you, it’s because you traced every scar back to its origin and never once flinched. You turned my heart inside out, sifted through the mess, and still found something worth holding. I say...

Women bleed too
You'd be wrong to assume it just affects only male And even more wrong to overlook women's plight Cause just like men, they too experience it It's just sad that they'd been left behind Maybe because it kinda feels like the usual periods Just a little heavier, going on for more days And for most women, they go undiagnosed Cause they're...
