Revolution

It’s happening They are telling you how to choose Which is no choice at all They are telling you who to love Who to marry As if there is only one way to love Liberties and freedoms taken Under a cloud of righteousness falsehood They fear those that are different Run from changing ideas Old […]

Rise up

Push through all the hate Rise above the voices of intolerance Show them how to love Together we can bring forth change Stand for something Let them not underestimate you But fear our rebellion Our right to choice under attack Who we can marry decided by law The amount of our paycheck Our worth determined […]

My heart goes out

. . . My heart goes out to the women; Who’ve lost their right to choose Who’s voices are silenced Who are underpaid Under valued My heart goes out to these women . My heart goes out to the women Who’ve been neglected Overlooked Abused Assaulted And tormented My heart goes out to these women […]

International Women’s day

What an exciting time to be a female. Its International Women’s day. I mean one whole day where everyone celebrates women. Memes flood social media (I did it) a shootout given to those women in our lives that inspire us, give us strength, raise us (shout out to my mom, sister and closest ‘gal pals’). […]

More than just a check

“You’re not going to broken forever” That’s what I have told myself for years. Every bit of progress made, pushed back by yet another speed bump.

Many think it’s easier to have these depressed people fit into pre-cut boxes instead of dealing with a case by case basis. I have spoken of my static and depression briefly before. It is something that I […]

Dishes

A friend of mine posted about anxiety this week on social media. She was reflecting when she was doing dishes. Her words gave me pause. As someone who has experienced overwhelming anxiety in my life I thought, how do I cope with or handle my anxieties and are they actually anxieties or simple worries I […]

We Marched

Yesterday we marched. I live in a great country, surrounded by great people both women and men. The leader of my country is a self proclaimed Feminist. I live in a house of equals, grew up in a house where the partnership was equal. I do not feel oppressed, or marginalized in my daily life […]

Nightmare

I have this dream, a nightmare really and I have had it the better part of 20 years. It always starts the same and ends exactly the same way it’s what happens in the middle that dependent on what’s happening in my life that changes. It’s dark and violent. Bloody and Horrific. No matter how […]
