The main purpose of this category would be my poetry, but you may find some random strays.
Trying to find the words,
but they won’t come out.
It’s like writers block
and mixed feelings that you can’t sort out.
You don’t know what will cure it.
It just comes back.
It’s an amnesia,
a beautiful confusion.
It’s my life.
And I have yet to sort it out.
The morning was full of tears and they carried on all afternoon. I fought with my mother up until around 12:00pm when I suddenly found out that one of the greatest people in my life had a seizure and died. I loved Junior. He was an amazing 20 year old who made an impact on my life and he will never be forgotten. I love you Junior. R.I.P.
Miserable at best,
suicidal at worst.
Scars on my heart, scars on my chest.
Bruises, cuts, scrapes. Which one’s first?
The thought of that blade is much more pleasing,
it’s appealing and draws me in.
Then I have to stop and think I’m better off just leaving.
-mh.
Now I lay me down to sleep;
I pray Thee, Lord, my life to take.
Let me die before I wake.
I pray Thee, Lord, my life to take;
And this I ask for Jesus’ sake.
Take this pain, don’t let me wake.
Amen.
-mh.
Never again.
Deuces cause I’m done.
Say bye tonight because tomorrow may not come.
-mh.
Love those who bring you up,
drop those who bring you down.
Make ‘em spin on your finger.
Going round and round.
Be in charge,
be on top.
Just remember,
if you wanna make it somewhere,
you can never stop.
-mh.
I’d give you the world, but it’s not enough. I’d give you my heart while it’s beating, but it’s not enough. I’d do anything to make you happy, but it’s not enough. I’d understand more than anyone else would, but it’s not enough. I’d sacrifice myself for you, but it’s not enough. I’d always be there, but it’s not enough. Nothing I do is enough. So what is enough?
Virginity:
- is sexist
- is heteronormative
- commodifies sex
- commodifies young cis-het white women
- contributes to rape culture
- contributes to slut-shaming
- erases queer folk
- erases transfolk
- frames a woman’s worth as inversely proportional to the number of dicks that have been inside her
Thank you “glasscoffin”.
I went to an AIDS/HIV seminar today. I learned a lot! 1 out of 5 people who haven’t been tested, have it and do not know it. You can have it for 5-10 years without getting symptoms. Over 30,000 people in NC have HIV knowingly and over 9,000 have full-blown AIDS knowingly in NC. That’s just the people who know. Also, the waiting list for HIV/AIDS medicine in NC has over 700 people on it. Keep in mind that’s for medicine that costs $1600 a month. You can get it from blood, semen, vaginal fluid, and breast milk. You can only get it from human to human contact. It is possible to get it through tattoos because it can survive in ink. 100% bleach kills it, but unfortunately we cannot pump bleach into people. At the end of the seminar, the speaker told us she is HIV positive and has known for 30 years. She had to have an abortion because back when she found out, there was nothing they could do for pregnancy with HIV (she found out when she got pregnant). Now they have medicine you can take during your pregnancy, medicine for the baby when it is born, and then once born after 18 months the child gets a new immune system and can be HIV/AIDS free. After hearing her story and hearing the statistics, I got tested. I am negative, thank goodness. You may not be, so please go get tested. ALFA does FREE HIV/AIDS testing and all it takes is a finger prick and 15 minutes. Please go get tested, set up an appointment and do it. Better to be safe than sorry. ♥
ALFA is in NC, I am not sure about other states.
