A Struggle

We all have our good and bad days
Because they depend on our ways
Growing up around bad environments
And a screwed up system by governments
My family not loving me
Discriminating against me
Telling me that they regretted my birth
And me not wanting to be on this earth
I became depressed
And dealt with a lot of stress
Never taught me right from wrong
Dealing with these memories for so long
I always learned things the hard way
From always wanting to do it my way
My past always haunting me
From when my half brother raped me
And then abusing me
When I got older I told my family
But they didn’t believe me
Then going to school and being talked about
And not cared about
Because I was different
And not belligerent 
My self esteem grew low
And when it came to sex it was hard to say no
Because I would do anything to feel loved
Known as a jump-off around the neighborhood
And no one really knew or understood
That I was I struggling with my life
Overcoming suicide attempts
And anxiety attacks
Coping with the way things are
Because my hope grew far
While days seemed to never get better
I tried to change for the better
I’ve learned to just cope with everything
Because in my life it’s a constant struggle

About Me

My name is Shakeera
But I prefer keekee or keera
I’m sixteen years old
I’m young but I feel old
So many hardships
And bad relationships
People look at me
And judge by what they see
People don’t like me
But they don’t know me
Thinking of me as a hoe
But they just don’t know
Struggling with a sex addiction
Bringing upon my life affliction
Experiencing the streets and prostitution
Ending up with three diseases
And a pain that never ceases
Being rushed to get surgery done
Because I had a cyst the size of a plum
I cried and screamed
Because this wasn’t a dream
Lucky me, they were all curable
But now I’m infertile
My pain is so deep
That it’s hard to fall asleep
Had an eating disorder and did starvation
Along with my parents help and persuasion
Believing when they said I was fat
All I could think of was that
Crying until my eyes turned red
Because I just wanted to be dead
I feel so alone
And like I don’t belong
I have no one to love me
And no one for me to love back
This is all for now
But wait until I come back
I’ll have something that makes your heart clap

The Rumors

I hear them talking
And I see them looking
When they pass by they wave and smile
But when I approach they are in denial
Rumors by people that don’t have a life
And might want mine
Rumors that are stupid
Especially the one about the baby
Yea that one was really funny
These people must not know me
Because I can’t get pregnant
After my summer incident I became sterile
They can talk and look all they want
Rumors don’t run me
And they definitely don’t bother me
I laugh at most of them
And the rest get thrown in the trash
These ignorant people can believe whateva they want
Because me and God know the truth
Like I said before
I hear them talking
And I see them looking
But all they can do is talk and look
Won’t step up to the plate
And say it to my face
These rumors that make me snap
But it’s good to know that I’m thought about a lot
My family is even spreading rumors too
But what can I do about it
I just smile and laugh at it
Knowing that people will put forth
So much effort to make me miserable
These rumors will never end
So I continue to laugh at them

The Relationships

He was special to me
Because I was naïve
Thought I was in love
With tears running down my cheeks
My heart continues to leek
Being beaten by his fist
Was a later outcome of our first kiss
Always hitting me
Telling me to get on my knees
And forcing me to do things
My family never noticed
Because I was never in their focus
I cried all the time
But they didn’t care
To him I was less than a dime
When I needed him he was never there
Waking up to bruises
Because he never loses
Scars from the fights
Memories from the nights
I wished I was dead
But instead
I was still lying in my bed

My First Love

It was love at first sight
When we met that night
He is someone I love to talk to
He gives me advice on what to do
He is always there for me
When I need some comforting
Our love is none like any other
We care deeply about one another
He always keeps me satisfied
His beliefs I abide by
He looks over me
And covers me
To him I’m his exact reflection
He offers me his protection
We communicate all the time
He is perfect and is all mine
Gives me all the love I need
We were truly meant to be
He hears me when I cry
And we never have to say bye
Never told me a lie
Together we will be when I die
You ask…
Who is my first love? 
He is the one above
