Nicole Hines Poem
You have been lurking into my temple
Doing not so nice things but still I am
Strong trying to receive my wings
I have been raped, cut, molested, and killed
But still I live
I have been harmed in many of ways
Taken from my body day by day
But still I survive
I am a victim in this society
But still I strive
I have been desecrated and tortured for my women hood
But I am still human
One that has been born
Torn through this emotion
But still I am a child on this earth
But I have been abused and taken from my worth
I am terrified for my territory
I am marked in this village of manipulation
My dignity taken
But still I thrive
I reach out to tell others
That you are blessed because
You could be the one waking up with nothing left
Your family, your friends, your body, your life
Could just be taking away
Or maybe you could be the one selling your body everyday just for your rights
I am stereotyped, threaten, and abused
My body has been walked over and reused
If only you new
I want knowledge but I have to ask
I want to vote but I cant
I have to live in this cage that I can’t escape
But still I stand strong
And I wait

Nicole Hines Poem
You said you wanted to be with me
And I wanted to be with you
We did things couples would do
I gave my trust to you
My love to you
I put my all into you
Thinking it was a dream come true
And you was the one for me
But I let my feeling take over my body
I didn’t think you was
Like all the other dudes
Out there in the streets
I thought you was different
But I was too blind to see
You gave me you and I gave you me
Next thing I knew here come a baby
I told you not thinking
You would run your mouth
To your boys in the streets
Using my name like a piece of meat
So yea I denied it
I try to hide it
And cover it up
Even though it was true I
Knew I messed up
I shouldn’t have gave my all to you
This hurt
This pain
You put me through
I should have known you was like
All these other dudes
Just out to catch a nut
In mess other people lives up
We even talked about marriage
But all I got was a broken heart
And a miscarriage
And I thought we was going to be together
But I guess I spoke to soon
Now all I can do is
Reminisce about how it could’ve
Been with you
