metoo

what i can’t stand is women
tearing other women down
when will we realize
friendly fire is anything but
friendly

use your hands
mother said tenderly
to lift those that cannot
pick themselves up

lots of people want to ride with me
in the limo
i want the few that will take
the bus with me
when the limo has broken down

if love is a battlefield
why are we
fighting each other
in a war none of us
will ever win

how can you try to imitate light

with so much

darkness inside you

people are like

haunted houses

full

of ghosts

they tend to scare away

anyone looking to build

a home with them

in search of nectar

you landed on my petals

took what you needed

and then

flew away

stealing my sweetness

a thief left me stung

when it’s winter
i wish for summer
when it’s rainy
i wish for clear skies
when you were here
i wanted you gone
- hormones

the last thing we should do
during a virus outbreak
is to spread fear and
lies about our fellow humans
what we should be doing is coming together
and embracing each other so that
we could find a cure through love and
compassion

never make someone a priority
when all you are to them
is a convenient option
