Losing But Winning

To love something or someone so much comes with a lot of happiness and pain

It comes with a lot of happiness because you finally feel like you have a worth. You have to fight for. You have something to believe in….

But it comes with pain because once you decide to take it away it leaves a giant whole in a heart that can't be filled with no one else 

It's hard to smile when you have so much pain.

It hard to fight when you feel like you are losing the war

And it is hard to feel love when it's been ripped away from you…

But I want you to know that it is ok to be sad

It's ok to be depressed

And it's ok to relax for a while

But what isn't ok is to give up

To call it quits

To bring yourself down

You have to fight

You need to fight

I need you to fight with every breath….

They need you to fight with every breath….

But just remember this always…

You don't have to fight alone….

Because I am here….

For you

Hush

Hush mom said
She told me to be quiet
To not make a sound                                                                                                                                Cause daddy was sleeping
And I didn't want to wake the beast. 
Because when the beast is awoken…
It was like a tornado and a hurricane mashed into one
Terrorizing the whole house making it shake like a earthquake

Hush big brother said
He told me to hush when he broke the vase that held the memory
 of our beloved grandmother "Don't worry " he said
"everything will be ok"
Yet at the end of the day
I was the one that got beat black and blue for it
And all he got was a stern talking too
Where's the justice in that?
Please tell me which part of that was ok?
I guess i should have read between the lines

Hush sister said
She told me to be quiet when I saw her sneaking out
She had the smile of devil that was planning on dying
I begged and pled that she stayed
She just looked into my eyes and said with the softest of voice
“One day i'll understand and she'll be there to stop me”
Then out the door she went. Sneaking off…
Like a cat in the night with one last saying…
I'll be back in a flash… which turned out to be a lie
Now I stand over her grave
I begged and pled
I prayed and prayed for her not to walked out the door into
The cold, dark and heartless night
But no.. a bang and then a boom followed with a crash
Here's her body…. Now six feet under

Hush dad said
He told me to stay quiet when he was in my room at night
He whispered everything would be ok...
That he was just showing me something new
Yet at the end.... I was the one feeling blue…
I played there covered in filth... disgusted with myself!
I cried and cried and cried but did you care…..
No! You didn't! What was that you told me at the end?! O yeah… You said….
“I was daddy’s good little girl.” 
You told me to hush about this.. 
That if I didn't hush….
You would make me hush….

Hush the voices said
As I sat on the end of my bed crying to myself
I thought about all the things that I didn't say
I kept quiet because everyone told me to
And now I am broken... A shell of a person
The voices tell me everything will be ok
And as I took my final breath.....
Everything..... Was ok.... For I.... Was hushed.... For good

Blush

Soft color on me cheek
Butterflies in my stomach
I'm sweating all over
I can't move
Im petrified
The ability to talk has left the building
The ability to move has disappeared like magic
And the ability to speak words has left me babbling like a idiot
What is this im feeling
What am i doing
What has cause this
Only my one true weakness
My big fat crush

Beauty

Beauty is a word that has become a symbol for change

Beauty is a status that makes women believe they are not good enough

Beauty has become something that women feel like they want to… 
.....Need to..... 
........ Have too
....… And must be

Beauty has turn women against each other

Beauty has made women insecure about themselves

Beauty has turned women from class to showing off they ass

Beauty has caused pain

Beauty has caused tears
And dare i say……

Beauty has committed murder
