the only thing 

stopping us 

humans 

from achieving  

the american dream, 

is our own  

confining minds; 

we set 

limits, 

boundaries, 

rules, 

margins, 

borders, 

ranges.  

we say 

“impossible” 

but the only  

thing needed 

is to stop. 

and let ourselves 

be free 

 

cheating 

is like 

fire. 

with the warmth 

of companionship, 

and secret 

desire 

from  

far away, 

but 

when you 

get too close 

and see through  

the flames, 

Everything 

burns 

Summer rain, 

She lost her words as she rapidly stormed in her thoughts 

Her sweet big brown eyes drizzled with loss 

Fixed her plumped lips and  

Her soft voice roared like a lion in agony. 

 

Summer rain, 

Her blooming rose which grew on its own 

Soft and fragile but she knows 

Each petal and catastrophe the wind blows. 

 

Summer rain, 

 Chants of forbidding droplets 

 Every drop that landed, hard as comets  

     Hold on to your roots, for the growth that was promised. 

 

Summer rain, 

  Her blooming rose reclaiming its ego 

 All tender and shy, your wasted beauty that once was sowed 

  Regrets and shame, with nothing to blame 

 Keep flying around in hopes to grow. 

 

Summer rain, 

 She wants to hold your hand in hers 

        The love that was placed internally, shockingly ached 

            She will teach them to see, all this wasted beauty as she escapes her thoughts 

A silent background, with just few remains. 

 

 

 

                  

 

 

 

  

 

Power, Authority, Respect 

Only for men they say 

Submission, meekness, well-bred, ladylike 

Only for women they say 

Don’t talk to me like that 

I am not your tool!!! 

 

Standing for Truth, Equality, Power and Authority 

I am human 

Not your gizmo 

Not a limbo 

I’m a Girl 

Lion-hearted, Undaunted 

A phoenix blazing with fire  

So nonplussed, it makes you perspire!! 

 

Wait, 

Just stop. 

Don’t judge 

It is not my fault 

Not a defect 

It is my Identity. 

 

Overdosing on pills and potions 

I am not afraid to swallow 

So I write and I write, I print 

Liberation, Emancipation, 

Integration not Segregation. 

 

When I ring the bells of doom 

Don’t be deaf  

Listen, just listen 

Don’t be afraid  

It’s just Feminism 

Not Fetishism, Meninism 

It’s just Progressivism 

 

Wait, don’t judge 

It’s not a DEFECT. 

He’s nothing but a bully he doesn’t truly understand that he mistreated me fully  

He constantly called me names doesn’t care about my pain he can catch me in traffic switchin’ lanes 

 He spits on me  

I was too little to fight 

My future is bright 

The most unkind person I’ve ever known 

Placed me in a trash can  

I was 7 years old 

He showed me no respect 

Always makes me upset  

Nowadays I’m stressed 

I suggest that I lay down in bed and get some rest 

Honestly it’s really hard to forget 

Such a disturbing event  

  

He’s a Happy Meal kid at McDonald's 

Don’t bother to apologize because it’s too late 

Bullies like him give me a headache 

So painful  I can’t think straight  

Messing with me gets you flipped like a pancake  

For now I’ll take a coffee break 

He’s done too many bad things to me 

Spat on me when I was on the ground 

I would like to say thanks because it made me stronger 

Now I am the king of my own world 

 

 

 

 

Happiness is a garden with diverse flowers 

Happiness is watching Netflix for a long day with a lot of popcorn  

Happiness is being home alone, time when I can just sleep, and being able to listen to music loudly. 

Happiness is getting only A's as grades 

Happiness is a closet with many clothes and you don’t know what to wear 

Happiness is getting a lot of wishes for your birthday and many expensive gifts 

Happiness is spending a weekend with your best friend 

Happiness is hugging someone you really love, someone you are scared to lose. 

Happiness is meeting an old friend I didn’t see for a long time 

Happiness is talking with your boyfriend for one hour on the phone.  

Happiness is hard to get 

Happiness is walking with no pain and feeling free to do whatever I want 

Happiness is parent’s love, a love that never ends 

Happiness is a family, a family who really cares about me 

Happiness is once more being free 

Happiness is getting special goodnight cuddles. 

Happiness is just you and me
