two poems on tuesday morning [:

WHAT THE MIRROR SAID

listen,
you a wonder,
you a city
of a woman.
you got a geography
of your own.
listen,
somebody need a map
to understand you.
somebody need directions
to move around you.
listen,
woman,
you not a noplace

anonymous
girl;
mister with his hands on you
he got his hands on
some
damn
body!



HOMAGE TO MY HIPS


these hips are big hips.
they need space to
move around in.
they don't fit into little
petty places. these hips
are free hips.
they don't like to be held back.
these hips have never been enslaved.
they go where they want to go
they do what they want to do.
these hips are mighty hips.
these hips are magic hips.
i have known them
to put a spell on a man and
spin him like a top!

  1. sorry but this has nothing to do with this blog... but I've been really bored lately and I've been looking at loads of peoples blogs...
    I'm a teenager and maybe that's why this is all happening but I rely a lot on what people think of me... and I've felt 'lost' for a while...
    I've talked to my friends and the truth about how I work is..
    I listen to the views of others and I change myself accordingly... just last night, I talked to my friend and she told me that I shouldn't think like that.. but I've been doing it for so long... I was just flicking through when I saw your little message... "Don't find yourself, Mold yourself'.
    I don't know you and here is a one-in-a-billion chance that we will ever meet... but I just wanna say thank you...
    for that one message... because it means something to me and has really struck me... thank you and good luck in everything you do...
    I have a lot to think about.

  2. what youre going through is completely natural . don't beat yourself up too much about it . most teens cant even tell when they let others influence them so much .

    just remember that no one has to live your life but you . you need to decide your priorities and values & stick to them . you cant stand up for something if you dont know what it is , ya know ?

    i wish you the best . & even though idk you, ill be praying for you :]
