  • Inah Josanne M.D.citeerde uit5 jaar geleden
    we choose to stay numb because
    we think it keeps us safe
    but the most dangerous thing
    we can do is forget how to feel
  • Inah Josanne M.D.citeerde uit5 jaar geleden
    thank you for the scars
    the right one will say
    they’re beautiful
  • Jessiney Grace Limpociteerde uit4 jaar geleden
    and then it all hit me: i had all these painful, scary, and depressing days to thank for the person i had become. if i hadn’t hit my proverbial rock bottom, i would not have been able to plant my roots and grow upward.

    the rose knows well
    always picked first
    yet never a chance
    to grow

    appearance and intelligence
    are not codependent
    they coexist
    your appearance
    does not define
    your intelligence
  • Inah Josanne M.D.citeerde uit5 jaar geleden
    demons try to control us
    but out in the open
    they’re nothing more
    than whispers
    of a painful past
    you will be safe in the right hands
  • Miguel Amarociteerde uit3 jaar geleden
    beauty does not solve problems

    it’s just a different map

    down the same road

    someone once told me

    they were scared of

    the truth in my eyes

    so i learned to live

    my life blind

    maybe we fall

    in love with sad eyes

    because we see our souls

    reflected in them

    i don’t remember love as a child

    my only teacher being magazines

    and movie screens

    so i spent my life

    searching for fantasies

    but a fantasy in real life

    is also known as a lie

    you can tear someone apart

    just as easily with

    unwanted names

    an undressing gaze

    perverted hands

    a penetrating tongue

    those scenes

    will be replayed

    and paused

    rewound

    and started again

    with every touch

    and lingering stare

    penetration is not

    the only rape

    i met him at a bar when he told me

    i don’t date women under 5 foot 10

    and i grew smaller

    thinking i would never be

    good enough for him

    so when he invited me

    back to his place for

    drinks and some blow

    as women
    we’ve grown deaf
    to the whistles
    and whispers
    that come with
    walking down the street
    we’ve learned to keep
    our heads down
    growing small
    into the shells
    we never asked for
    these habits leave scars
    that will never heal
    because we were born
    into a world
    where our bodies
    do not belong
    to us
    these things happen to girls like you
    this is a lie you have been told
    he showed me a picture
    of a beautiful girl
    soft skin and lingerie
    can you believe she’s a lawyer?
    words that crack like a whip
    every time i hear them
    can you believe?
    yes
    of course i can
    i can believe a woman
    who has long hair
    big eyes
    breasts and hips
    and dripping curves
    is capable
    of studying in school
    reading a book
    writing a thesis
    arguing a point
    winning a case
    appearance and intelligence
    are not codependent
    they coexist
    your appearance
    does not define
    your intelligence
    your appearance
    is simply the cover
    to your inner memoir
  • Inah Josanne M.D.citeerde uit4 jaar geleden
    the truth hurts because
    we live in a world
    so used to lies
  • Venus Rayciteerde uit4 jaar geleden
    your weakest moments

    are your strongest

    in disguise

    time will either

    heal you or kill you

    so if you’re reading this

    you are healing

    i promise you

    we are not born broken
