Poems 

 

I am realizing that I have loved other people’s bodies more than my own 

 

Poems 

 

Who gets to say what beauty is? 

 

Poems 

 

Whose body is not complicated 

Whose mind is not complicated 

 

Poems 

 

I need a name to put to my pain 

 

Cellulite  

 

Poems

 

 

We tell the pretty girls 

That women are jealous of you

 

Poems

 

I can make candles out of orange peels

But I cannot do my eyebrows 

 

Poems

 

I went from wanting a

“Rich boys buy me shit body!”

To wanting a

“Can my back stop hurting for no reason kinda body”

  

Poems

 

It’s funny how my Mother always tells me what to eat

When all she does is eat her young

 

Poems

 

Tell me when I gain weight

Don’t tell me when I lose it

Tell me when I get a new wrinkle

Don’t tell me how soft my skin is

Tell me to cover my arms

Don’t tell me to embrace you

 

 

Poems

 

How many of us women are in a bad mood

Because we are starving?

 

Poems

 

My hips are cushions

Come rest your head

 

Poems

 

Brains, Body, Beauty

The Holy Trinity 

When is enough - enough

When will I be enough

I want someone to look at me and want me

Speak to me and want me

Touch me and want me

But what do they want the most?

 

Poems

 

I want my food to be as tasty

as my body

 

Poems

 

No matter what you create with your mind

It’s nothing like what you create with your body

A woman is never the same person again

 

Poems

 

Do you have smooth thighs

Do you have a smooth face

Do you have smooth thoughts 

Let’s give the female misogynists something to talk about

And the purposeful music plays

 

Poems

 

It takes so much time to change your body

Tell me when the time disappears

 

 Poems

 

If I were a chubby child would you not love me

If I were a chubby cat would you not love me

If I were a chubby dog would you not love me

Or is it because you think I should know better

When really what I should know is a better love

 

Poems

 

Diet is a four letter word

If I do this will I be happy 

Will my life be better

Will I be healthy

Or should I just pray 

But then I would have to fast

I rather take a bite of the Devil’s Food Cake

 

Poems

 

I bet every supermodel has said

“Why did I ever let you touch my perfect body?”

 

 

Poems

 

If they only comment when you gain weight

And never compliment when you lose it

If they only comment when you have a spot

And never compliment when you are glowing

If they only comment when you are lethargic 

And never compliment you when you train

If they only comment when it doesn’t fit

And never compliment you when it fits just right

Tell them they are only the rain

And you are the rainbow

 

  

Poems

 

My body and my mind are the same but different 

The separate two hands of the clock telling a like time

If only I had that control

What my mind wants 

The body ignores

Yet it constantly craves attention

Seeking from me

What my mind cannot give

Absolution

 

Poems

 

My body is the purest form of art

Inspired by an elder

Valuable due to the imperfections

My hips create Melodies 

With the rolls of a thespian

 

Poems

I use to watch horror and war movies

With the tangled bodies and torn off heads

Until I realized what a body needs most is

Protection

 

 

Poems

 

The villains in my life

Have been all who have expected something that I could not give them

Never accepted me for me

 

Poems

 

I owe a debt to my body

 

Poems

 

Most hurtful question I ask myself

Am I alone because of the way I look?

 

 Poems

 

Internally haunted

Externally exposed

The bikini blues

 

Poems

 

Do I only ever care about beauty

 

 Poems

 

I learned to accept myself and then life became beautiful

 

Poems

 

Ode to the used beauty and bootie

Why did I care more about looks than being intelligent

My body is not for everyone

I am not for everyone

Only I bleed, when I am cut

Time for me to heal

 

 Poems

 

The Scheme

 

I will get a new body 

And they will love me

I will get a new face

And they will love me

I will get clearer skin

And they will love me

I will wear sexy clothes

And they will love me

I will get a new hair do 

And they will love me

Money will come

Love will come

Pleasure will come

Friends will come

While integrity goes away

I will  then invite them into my

house of candor

that I built from the outside in

 

Poems

 

Ugly doesn't like me

 

 

Poems

 

Someone prays for you

 

 

Poems

 

You lie to me

I tell you the truth

I lie to myself

My body tells me the truth

 

Poems

 

One thing cosmetics can't stop

Everything changes with age

 

 

Poems

 

Never forget to say....

 

I'm sorry

Let's share

You are beautiful

Thank you

I love you

Amen

Your Welcome

 

Poems

 

If I could make my body out of Artificial Intelligence 

I would give it a fake heart

So that it could never be broken

 

Poems

 

With an Afro that looked like the clouds

I prayed for hair that fell down my shoulders like rain

Never appreciating my body that is a river of rainbows

 

Poems

 

People think if they have the perfect body 

They will vibrate higher

Life will be more exciting - fabulous

Get your mind right

Because it can also cause a lot of depression and anxiety 

 

Poems

 

Every family has a Jesus they sacrifice,

I just sacrifice my thighs

 

Poems

 

I have outgrown my body from the past

Will I live up to the one in the future?

 

Poems

 

As a woman with a beautiful face and thick body

Why does society make me feel like a flightless bird

 

Poems

 

I love my body because it takes me to you

 

 

Poems

 

I will drink the hot tea

From Tim Hortons

Then give you a Canadian Blow Job

With my hot mouth

Hoping you will call me beautiful 

And touch my round body

 

Poems

 

Give your body, 

Hope, Truth and Love!

 

 

Poems

 

I want to be skinny,

I also want the ocean to be made of sugar not salt.

 

Poems

 

Happy Valentines!

My body is a kindness

For pleasure 

 

Poems

 

I didn't care about my mental health

Or physical health

Until I felt like you were experimenting on me

 

Poems

 

While some women look at their bodies as a momento mori

I look at it and say "Remember you must love!"

 

Poems

 

Why do we put an expiration date on women

Why do we say "She was beautiful when she was young"

Why are my wrinkles not appreciated as much as the ridges on a mountain or the taste of a finely aged wine 

I was once a play thing 

I can now write the instructions 

 

Poems

 

Body type 1 - People will approach me and I could talk to them

 

Body type 2 - I will approach people, talk to them and they will see how nice I am

 

Poems

 

Sometimes I regret not having a thinner body

But I definitely don't feel guilty about it

 

Poems 

 

Soften your life

 

Poems

 

I never understood people who talk to children like their adults

And to adults like they are children

Just like I never understood people who speak to curvy people like they should be thin

And thin people like they should be curvy

 

Poems

 

The things I do for a bad habit

 

Poems

 

I cannot hold onto my body

Because so much time has been stolen from me

 

Poems

 

I have these bad habits

And the things I do for and because of the bad habits

I really want to turn these bad habits into good habits

And I also have good habits, but people don't seem to care about those

They never care about what I am good at

 

Poems

 

Tit for Tat

He said she said

What I said about you

What did you say about me

Shit Talking

My Luvbody carries me

 

Poems

 

Pleasant and Present 

 

Poems

 

I said, I am nothing but trouble

He said, I am trouble too

I guess that's too much trouble 

 

Poems

 

God may be my influencer

But my body is the Devil

 

Poems

 

Can I copy and paste your body onto

My dreams

 

Poems

 

No money, more problems 

Everything goes up, but your pay

Just make it painless 

 

Poems

 

You have your hands full of love

Love body

 

Poems

 

Another Misanthropic adventure with my 

Body

 

Poems

 

I am a natural

But I need to relax

 

Poems

 

I want a job where I can be wrong 100% of the time

Give me some add vice

 

Poems

 

Authorize this form later on tonight too blindly follow u 

Everything goes up but the pay

Avoid the drafts, not the draughts

I am a natural

But I need to relax

Auntie soon listen

 

Poems

 

My overthinking leads to debts sinking

God is my influencer, but I am married to the devil, but sometimes I get distracted, This whole world, should have been for the puppy dogs

 

 

Poems

 

Its all about what they can say,

Not about what they can do

 

Poems

 

Do you love what's convenient 

Or what takes care?

Trying to find what helps and doesn't hurt

What is the difference between a miserable rich person and a happy poor person

You can breathe with me

mathematical doesn't equal psychological

Heavy people don't think everyone should be heavy

Slim people think everyone should be slim

Show me someone who is tight and secure

other than food what do you bring to the table

 

Poems

All the best

 

I could point out problems, cause problems but I'm not allowed to solve them

 

They are not available but they are available 

That's the problem when your on to something and good at the job

I need to add time without the suffering 

 

Poems

 

They don't want me living here 

And they don't want to let me go

Make time

 

Poems

 

Who are you friends with if you don't have a job

 

God keeps calling me

The earth is glowing 

 

Poems

 

We are just renting this earth

 

Poems

 

Maintain yourself

Maintain the monologue

Maintain the act

Time to maintain

In my feels

What is time good at?

What is a good addiction?

The negative verbosity?

Haunted or Hunted?

They tell me I have to follow the order but I can skip steps

Go away

Be honest

Don't go to far

This world was made for puppy dogs and kittens they just cannot maintain themselves

Who makes the mess

Who cleans it up

Who solves the problem

I run in slow motion

The oil runs turns out the pores

The jungle in screens

She said I would not be prosperous until she died

 

Poems

 

My life went from a nightmare to a horror movie

 

Poems

 

You are stepping all over my time

Are you open?

Drowning in my thoughts

Ajarred by possibilities

Is our time too short or not long enough

Blame the person you stole from

 

Poems

 

Can u sue a person because you stole from them and did not like/understand/value what you stole?

 

Acknowledge 

Can you sue a person because you stole from them and did not like/understand/value what you stole?

Like time spent

Understand time spent

Value time spent

AF!

You need to acknowledge what I am saying

The non-acknowledgement, acknowledge what said/what's right/write

You know something's up

What's said

No for Know

I am going to drink coffee on the phone and do nothing just have sex/make love all day and all night

I have an Actknowlegment Disorder

 

How do you tell people to go fuck themselves without telling them to go fuck themselves

 

 

Poems

 

My Mom

Ignores me

Puts me down

Makes demands

Insults me

Steals from me

Does not love me

Then wonders why I do not talk to her

and expects care

 

Poems

My heart tells me

Know/No beauty gets left behind

Know/No knowledge gets left behind

Know/No love gets left behind

You are adorable

She talks like music

She speaks like music

She feels like music 

She is the music

Just want problems, that's your solution

Can you go anywhere you want

Or do you get left behind?

 

Poems

 

Love does it last forever or does it wash away

 

The barefoot radiance

The barefoot tap dance

You are stepping all over my time

Stepping all over my words

She talks like music

She speaks like music

She feels like music 

She is the music

 

Poems

 

You got me feeling you, feeling you

What the friends stay for

To be telling you, telling you

That your in for more

 

Poems

 

 

No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above rubies,

My Mom just told me to take care of myself

I use to love rainy days until I had to smoke outside

An excuse to be alfresco and revel in my adulthood

In rain, sleet or snow

I remember the air being much fresher and the sky being much bluer as a child

Now I inhale all the poisons and feel calmer

Contemplating another decision

To change for you

If you change for me

 

Poems

 

Here I am again lost in you,

Consumed by the thought of a taste

The cost of tissues

The damaging touch

Almost lost u

My beautiful baby

See you, first and always

Cry

So you can yell at how many tissues I used


Poems

 

All I think about is love

And what did not 

 

Poems

Better to wish you were in the air on the ground

Than on the ground in the air

 

 Poems

 

You know how to tell my secrets

You can't be with me this evening

When take is never enough 

All too think about is love

And what did not

 

Poems

 

 Who created love?

The exceptional acceptance....

Providing diamonds gems of joy, your fractions of feathers, Divide us, Who owns the clouds?

Who owns the trees?

Who owns the flowers?

Who owns the dirts?

Who owns the power?

 

Poems

 

 Saved or Stolen or Harmed?

Thank You Angels for protection

 

Poems

When you have just had it

I have been 

Too Skinny/ stick thin

Too Fat

I was just 

Too Me

Tell the beautiful ones, someone is jealous of u

Tell them too be disciplined in love

 

 to be modest

For you to love me?

Ohh, 

The fine line for a woman j

To choose between being 

Confident or humble

To be a beautiful painting/statue

With muted colours

 

POEMS

 

Ugly in, beauties out

Ugly in, uglies out

Beauties in, Beauties out

judging by the cover

doing a barefoot tapdance

 

Poems

 

Poems

Everyone has the right to say NO

Yes  means coming into your own

 

Poems

Every family has a Jesus they sacrifice 

I just sacrifice my thighs 

Ourselves, the coupon childs

The sciences of laws

My life is a nightmare turned into a horror movie

Escaping the crazy house

House of horrors

Pays

And charged for the same thing several times 

Standing alone

Reading Receipts!

Naughty will be, and naughty will come in 

Available if you want it

Poems

Look,

If It's not yours, and its  not mine, it goes in the refuse/trash

You'll just never get it again


POEMS

 

Trying to tell the difference between a good man and a good enough man

As I lay on a bed of dying roses, he tells me his passions, but not his secrets

He then holds my gaze with sweet brown eyes and utters no words

What are you thinking, should I be able to tell

 

 

Poems

 

 

 

Living with parents....

When it comes to money I'm an adult

When it comes to everything else, I'm a child

 

My gut is the second brain

Woke up one morning and did not recognize myself

Stuck

The mind of an adult can it be changed, better to think like a child

My age is my second number

That secret taking to the grave

Wearing a dress made of teabags

The fragrant offerings

 

Poems

 

Regrets

Why didn't I do that vs Why did I do that

You cannot win

My Mom wants me to have regrets 

Sometimes I regret ever being born

 

Poems

 

With a face as luminous as the sun

My skin holds the craters of the moon

My colour, brown as the earth

And the tears, you gave me for my elements

As deep as the oceanIf you knew my body’s story

You would look at it differently 

Maybe even accept it

And when you do

Tell me how

Tell me when I gain weight

Don’t tell me when I lose it

Tell me when I get a new wrinkle

Don’t tell me how soft my skin is

Tell me to cover my arms

Don’t tell me to embrace you

 

 

Poems

 

I will never be that girl

That girl with the perfect body

Because she exercises at the crack of dawn

Says no to fat, sugar, salt and meat

Wears designer clothes in a size 0

Gets mistaken for a ballerina, model or actress

Has perfect thighs with no dimples and is not frightened by a bikini

Has glass skin and has never known a blemish

Seemingly never ages because “Black don’t Crack!”

Cares more about her looks than intelligence 

Cares more about intelligence than

Food

 

If I do not have the body I want because I am lazy 

Why am I so exhausted 

 

I just want to die happy

In a body I love and accept

Food shouldn't be painful

 

Poems

 

I echo souls and scents

Unseen too/two eyes

Pretty canyons

Between legs and beauty

 

 

 

Poems

 

The Clothing Store

Where every woman learns that life is not fair due to a reflection 

The ice in Antartica is not as cold as those mirrors

Hot sauce

Food should not be painful

 

Poems

 

As the time gets shorter, the space gets smaller

The space for patience, time for grace

Accepting the realness

At what cost?

Too expensive or too cheap

It's not legal, not religious, just medical

If it does not belong to you or to me

Getting lost sounds a rousingly sexy

Right now

Glared, clocked and spied with my little eye

The overhead conversations 

A little too much for me

 

POEMS

 

Tell me again how you influenced the language

With the all consuming love

when you are on fire

 

POEMS

 

As I get older 

Do I tell my secrets or keep them

Do I need love or do I not need love

 

Poems

 

If I didn’t ask your advice about my body don’t give it

That’s between me, God and my doctor!

 

Poems

 

Poems

 

Close the blinds

If you can't see me

It's because I am hidden

Hidden within the hills

The blinding cubic windows

 

POEMS

 

Let me be

Let me be me

Let you be you

Let us be free

Let it be

 

 

Poems

 

Be sweet to the devil

Hoping your blood turns to clay from this sugar

The breaking, the baking, the making, the quaking

Did you put your hand in the water

A study based on studies 

That is what it is 

 

POEMS

 

Suffering from Hollow times,

Feel best when feel beautiful inside and out

 

 

Poems

 

I want to be the grandma riding her motorcycle to the church

 

POEMS

 

Turn it off an on

While turning you off and on

Who owns the words

When having  good days and bad days

While capturing the wind

Could you give me a good night?

So tired of being strong

 

 

Poems

Did you speak on it?

The uncomfortable experiences

 

 

Poems

 

Forgive me my lingual trespasses 

As time passes thru

Then you decide

Do you want to live or do you want to die

Are you happy or are you sad

 

 

POEMS

 

Did you speak on it?

The uncomfortable experiences 

When the nosey hearts

Reverse, Reset, Reboot, Reuse

Then you get to decide

Forgive me my lingual trespasses 

As time passes thru

Then you decide

Do you want to live or do you want to die

Are you happy or are you sad

 

 

Poems

 

A hole is a hole

A mouth is a mouth

A hand is a hand

An eye for an eye

Skin to Skin

 

Poems

 

The uncomfortable experiences 

When I'm asked "Where do you work?"

I say "We are hidden."

Just waiting for something 

To capture the flag

 

Poems

 

If you dress like a ho, just don't talk like one, if you talk like a ho, just don't dress like one

If you dress like a ho and talk like a ho

Be mindful

Be careful where you rest your head

 

 Poems

He said, “I Like girls who has more books than clothes.”

Ohh, To be smart for someone who thinks everyone is stupid

At least the library is still free!

 

Poems

 

Let's play whose the immigrants and let's play who is God

Without industry, without speech, without home


 

Regrets

Why didn't I do that vs Why did I do that

You cannot win

My Mom wants me to have regrets 

Sometimes I regret ever being born

Poems

 

Ohh! The autocorrelations of autocorrect

Go correct yourself

 

Poems

 

Ohh! The colour of your words

Hurts 

If in all your lying, you don't want the truth around

Actions speak louder than words

 

Poems

 

I choose me

Come and wait at the table

I'll plate you a story

Don't like it?

Go fast

I'll eat your food

 

Poems

 

Thru a rash of fires for planning change

Let it go

Created Luvbody

To set the world on fire

Still making changes

Don't be hidden

Luv your body beauty

Can't catch this fire

Time to show up

In Luvbody Tees

 

 

Poems

 

What are the Good things about getting older as a woman please tell me

 

Being a matriarch?

It's positive that your kids get older until they need money

Why aren't matriarchs sexy?

My life has been ruled by exclusion, judgement and control, now I don't care

 

The inevitable worthlessness

 

Funny, I've been made to feel worthless since I was a child

 

Maybe I should get a pet - but you don't want them to get older

 

Poems

 

Women should be treated like they are smart sexy and fun at any age

Poems

 

There is trauma in the DNA

When they fuck me and leave

 

Poems

I am not concerned about what people think of me

Just too concerned with what jealous people want to do to me

Sometimes I just want to shake these girls and tell them "Do you know how much power you do/ don't have?
