Growth
Hush now little seedling
Don't be afraid of the dark
You're going to grow and flourish
I'm giving you the best start.
You're going to be so beautiful
and do such wonderous things
You could be a saviour
lets see what summer brings.
It's going to take some time
So be patient through the rain
You're part of a whole forest
Nature's whispering campaign.

Vengence
Was it the fire between my thighs
that scorched the ground?
Or the tears from my eyes
that salted the earth?
Do the sounds of my cries
linger on the wind?
Could you feel my hope as it dies
and rots the lives around it?
I am death
I'm coming for you
until all that surrounds you is dust and ash
Do you still think you are innocent?

Goddess
My face may not have symmetry
My skin may have spots
My belly may roll and wobble
My thighs may touch... a lot
Petals do not have symmetry
Mountains may have spots
The ocean may roll and wobble
The clouds they touch... a lot
I see the beauty of nature
Everytime I look at me
I was handcrafted by goddesses
As is everything I see

Speak up little girl
"The earth is round" She tried to shout.
But men didn't listen they locked her out.
"The world is flat" She heard men cry.
She'd argued till breathless, just left with a sigh.
But somebdy wrote it for it to be read.
It couldn't have come from a woman's head.
Then the men started screaming "The world is round"
The latest discovery a man had found.
The wor...

Greenpeace
Not all men are your enemy
Not all women are your friend
Forget the wars of pink and blue
The earth is near its end
Raise your weapons to fight for green
Sow your seeds
Plants, Flowers and trees
Whilst humans are fighting the earth bleeds.
We cut down the trees
To write words for our books
We kill the animals
Skin and eat for our looks
Everyone is...

Perspective
Perspective is a dangerous thing
It tears the world apart.
Though it causes terrible pain
There is wisdom to impart.
Do not assume your fellows see the candle as you do
Remember flames look differently to the both of you.
She sees the flame as hell on earth
with fear of fire that kills.
He sees the fire as lust and desire
sees the flame as fun and thrills.

the end
your eyes are empty
words are blunt
even when you face the fire
oblivious to the destruction
so absorbed in your own world
you don't hear me as I scream for you to run
you feel like stone as I try to move you
The heat is ripping through me
and you're still sat,
cold and stone
do I burn with you or do I run
will you treasure my ashes
or stay sa...

Bad Day
today was a bad day
the sun didn't shine
and work wasn't great.
today was a bad day
but it didn't kill you
it barely touched you
it was a spring shower not a monsoon
today was a bad day
but you can keep going
it won't slow you down
or cripple you
it wont make your whole body hurt
at the thought of living another second
today was a bad day
bring...

the wishing well
you felt owed by the world
you plunged your hand in the water
the cold shooting through your hand
you grabbed the first thing your fingers touched
that stolen coin you grabbed
just because you could
was my happiness
my wish
gone

when the rain stops
When the rain stops
what do you notice first?
Is it the silence after constant noise?
or the way the sky gets light?
When the rain stops
do you miss it?
do you wish to never see rain again?
do you long for a desert?
The rain is so important
though you may prefer the sun
It gives us lush green landscapes
to relax and lay upon
So never wish for the dese...

Feel
Feel the flowers grow
The sun upon your skin
The stars that kiss you softly
The earth beneath you spin
Taste the sweet of happiness
the joy within your win
the bittersweet of victory
the sickly sweet of sin
Be proud of all your medals
Be proud of what you did
For you survived tragedy
When you were just a kid
Feel the river flow
The rain upo...

sorry
I'm sorry
sorry that I can't be better
sorry that I can't be exactly what you want
sorry I'm not perfect
sorry I meltdown at loud noises
sorry that I cry because I don't know what else to do
sorry that I can't please you like you want without seeing him in my head and feeling the panic again
sorry that I get angry at you for pushing me outside my comfort zone
sorry that my ...

damaged goods
it's a body
purple marks and deep red lines litter the skin
it drags it's limbs
rasping breath
a name tag around it's neck
marks it as being owned
it shuffles between the people
trying to hide
they stare in disgust at its bare skin
their judgement disguising their involvement
they know they did this
they passed the scissors to him
told him to cut the c...

invincible
I'm not invincible
You're just weaker than you think
You didn't strike a fatal blow
You saw me fall I hit the ground hard
But I got up ready for round two
I'm not invincible
I just learned to survive everything
To embrace every drop of blood
Saw the beauty in my bruises
The symphony of my bones cracking
And I still knew I would win
I'm not invincible
I...

The Angels
I saw the footsteps of an angel
Within the deep pools of blood
No one noticed the scarlet halo
Because angels are meant to be good
No one mourned the demons
No one shed a tear
No one noticed the angels descend
Until there was nothing to feel but fear
The angels smiled as they hurt you
And laughed as our children cried
There were no demons left to save the pe...

A letter to my Demon
For a long time after,
I didn't think I would ever find the words to describe what you took from me or what you did,
It became my biggest shame,
Like every thrust you took added a 20 pound weight that I had to carry around with me after. I kept it hidden from everyone;
I worked so hard to keep it a secret because you made me feel like I deserved it.
I felt like you'd taken my fire,
