I was patient and I was kind, but it wasn’t love.

I learned silence when I realized everyone around me was hungry.

As a little girl nobody told you.. You would have to grow up and be defined beautiful.. Not by your wits, sarcasm, or lovely crooked grin Not by the kinks and curls of your hair Not by the richness of your soul Not by your own standards that you uphold But by the size of clothes And the tone of your skin Which is Melanin and radiant Skin that you love, skin that’s healed and grown Skin that has protected your body all your life Skin that you’ve made a home in How can society tell you that you aren’t beautiful… Because of your appearance You aren’t made of make up and shallowness You are skin, bones, and a soul Filled with love You are golden Beautiful girl.

‘Because my wish will be that you’ll always be there.’

If you can’t fix me, Can we just pretend   That I was never broken. That there was nothing here To mend.

I am The corpse you abandoned Three blocks from the graveyard.    You said I’d come alive again If only I tried.

To crossbreed a flower and a fist Is something reason must resist, For we must either stand for peace Or endless war that cannot cease.

Dear Future significant other, Love me like the world loves pizza and coffee. K, thanks bye x.
