We Learn to Love Ourselves

Men just do not understand.
We learn to love ourselves.
We learn to love ourselves
Because it hurts to find someone who does.

We learn to love ourselves.
We learn to look in the mirror
And tell ourselves just how sexy we look.
Just how thick our thighs are getting
How much rounder our breasts are from yesterday
How good our legs look in those jeans

We love ourselves so hard

We learn to touch ourselves

Because man just do not understand

All we ever want or need is to be happy.
For them to perform the ritual
And take us away for a while.
Away from the million conflicts.

The chaos in the world.



Men will never understand.

We are tired of temporary happiness
We are tired of relying on those nice words
Those simple words that get us through the day
Hey, you look beautiful today
Maybe a kiss? Maybe two?


And no; this isn’t a poem of a broken-hearted

Or maybe I’m in denial

But I know it is essential for a Women to love herself
Before she can love anyone else.

By giving yourself a piece of me, You're giving me a piece of you.
By jumping off this bridge,
I'm trusting you, to catch me.
By catching me, you fall into me.
I stand beside you,
naked,
still,
with nothing to give but myself.
Wishing for late nights,
For secret smiles, and hidden jokes,
I wish to stand here,
Besides you, with you.
Early mornings, late nights,
Warm afternoons, calm evenings.
Here, besides you.
You besides me.

Sign Off

The brutality of the Truth,
The power that reality has,
Over ourselves.

Tomorrow, won't say Goodbye

Do you know what it is that we see?
That we experience? That we such get to enjoy?

The no stability, as we build out own castles,
As we mold, make, and remake,
Of what tomorrow will be ourselves,

We trip and fall
We walk away, and come back

But, it is out of our control.
The pain, of seeing our dreams, drive away,
Fly, crawl, ride, away, from our hands,
Our eyes, our touch, our souls.

The pain, of making millions of memories,
When tomorrow, they will be the end of us.

Building, and building,
So that tomorrow,
We, ourselves, destroy it,
With no control, whatsoever.

Don’t say hello to tomorrow,
If yesterday will destroy it.

Don’t say Hello, when inevitably,
Tomorrow, it’ll always be Good bye.


Is this what you are teaching me,
Is this what you wanted me to learn,
Is this what I know consider as a gift,
Is this what others wished for,
Is this what they truly desire

As I long, to stand still, on the crashing ocean waves,
How I wish that tomorrow, would be yesterday’s dream,
But as I wake up, then fall asleep,
I remember it won’t ever play the wrong way.

Heart of a World

If for some reason, you don’t understand me,
In case you didn’t believe me.
I hung on your every word,
I followed you in my dreams,
Because, that is exactly where I wanted to be:
Holding hands with you,
Examining the future,
In more than many ways, molding ourselves,
To be ready, for this.

And here we are.
Don’t meet in dreams,
Don’t meet, together.
Where, you and I, Can run along,
Hand in hand, Heart, as One.
Where we always, played together.

You, are missing in me.
Your presence, begging to be Ours,
Mines, chocking in desperation,
Wanting you, and nothing else.

The oceans refuse to move,
Refuse to whisper stories,
Refuses to communicate,
Refuses to guard what’s rightfully his.

And here we are.
Don’t meet in thought,
Don’t meet with time,
Don’t meet with distance,
Don’t meet with the heavens above.


I, like our closest of friends,
Refuse to eat away the life, of our Brother,
I, like our closest friend,
Refuses to keep what, isn’t mines.

Roll along my friend, Roll along.

Late Nights

Wednesday, December 2, 2009 at 2:25am (Original date)


I couldn't catch on to the irregularity of things. That as my heart was being torn, my pencil was running out of led. As you walked away, so did my sharpener. I couldn't decipher whether that meant to fight, or to just give up, whether to stand up or hang low at this disgrace. All I knew, was that I wanted you. All I know is that I want you. I want you, I want you, and I just simply want you. Do not shake your head at me, because maybe you're disappointed, that although I promised not to make you go through this again, here I am forcing you allow me to express my ways. you've held me back for too long, and I'm starting to believe this is bad for my health.

My hands are shaking.

They never really knew went to stop.

You held me against my own will, but. Something told me to fight, something has scared you off. Don't shake your head at me. You took everything from me, every word I used for expression, every rhyme for your admiration. I am fighting myself, as I fight you.and God only knows I am tired of fighting. I am tired of holding back the things I need to say, I am tired of stepping on stones because you're afraid of falling, because you're scared you'll drown. I dont want you to hold my hand anymore, JUST SET ME FREE! Let me live. Please just let me guide my way. I will not promise you anything. I wont promise you that things won't fall apart again, but I would rather try than to watch it all pass by.

Its some type of transition.

I NEVER WANT TO STOP.

I dont want to stop. I never wanted to. You are my addiction. My problems, my conflictions. And God forbid I FALL. But if I FALL PLEASE let me drown. Let me drown in every inch of you, let me drown in your thoughts, your dreams, let me drown in your soul. Or simply, in your lips.

I am going for a ride.

Next stop, coming up.

Your lips, Oh the sweet taste of your lips. Blessed are your lips. And the secrets they hold. I DONT WANT TO KNOW. I dont want to choose the way, I dont want right, I dont want left, I just want to ride. Just take me, Do you not understand me? I SCREAM. I am yelling for you, inside, There is a STORM. Its a tsunami. Let me write you down my name, sing you a song, of butterflies, and flowers, and trees, YOUR LIPS. (sigh) who am I fooling! I am a fool. living a foolish life. foolish rules. that for one reason or another, disable me, from telling you.

the things.

on my mind.

When I close my eyes. You're sitting here. Listening, intently. as I tell you that this is real. That I feel the surreal, but it is real. that this is real. that us is real. when I close my eyes, alot of things change. you're here....with me. and hold, just hold me. then I open them, and she's sitting there with me. My friend, reality.
