A Good Woman Poem

A Good Woman

Brush my hair,
Curl my eyelashes,
Am I good woman yet?
Lipstick on,
Eyeshadow thick,
Maybe this will do the trick!
Strut my figure,
But it's not hourglass,
Confidence jaded,
What has society has created?
Eating rations,
To fit thin girl fashions,
Am I a good woman yet?

To materialistic,
Can't take it anymore,
Being phony is such a bore!

Sweats and oversized hoodies,
Make up no more,
Time for this woman to fucking sore,

My family is happy,
My kids are fed,
I'm home each night to tuck them into bed,
I am a good woman.

Cozy blankets and late night movies,
Popcorn and chips can go straight to my thighs,
As long as I'm here to hold my baby when she cries,
I am a good woman.

Kind with my words,
And firm with my actions,
I don't care about your "skinny girl" captions,

A bottle of wine,
A night on the town,
Making memories all year round,

Holding hands with the man I love,
Putting my family beyond and above,
My choice is happiness,
Not how toned I look,
So fed up with the stigma,
I could write a book,
Based on memories I've made,
With my family and friends,
Not the calories I've burned,
Or the money I spend.

I am a good woman

Our Minds Distort Our Mirrors

When you look in the mirror what do you see? Are you happy or do you stand there and pick yourself apart body part by body part, wishing you saw something different?  Here's the thing- in this new social media era, somehow the concept of body image has been so insanely distorted that truth be told no body really knows how THEY want their body to look. All they see is what SOCIETY thinks it should look like. Last time I checked other people didn't live your life, you do.  All these new online apps come out and the majority of the world sits on these apps scrolling through seeing how happy everyone else is, how 'in shape' they are, that being lean is the only type of sexy... and about 9 million other ridiculous concepts about what to eat, how to live, how to look etc...  When let's be real here- what you see in photos is not always how it actually is. It's an image of what they want you see about them or their life.  In my opinion there is no such thi...

The 5 Second Decision

“You will never”... how many of you have been told that, said that or worse, believed in that? Who you become; what you have, what you think and feel these are all things that are based around one capability. A capability I might add, that we all possess. This is the ability to make a decision. Not a decision for your parents, your siblings, your friends, but for YOU. It’s that simple. You see something, you go for it. You want something, you do everything you can to achieve it. You’re probably going to sit there and tell me, it’s not that simple. There are a thousand and ten variables that come with making an informed decision.   What is being “informed” anyway?? If you’re the type of person who says this- you have been living a life of excuses. Making a decision is simple. Simple doesn’t mean easy. Someone once said, “Indecision means the door is still closed.” Meaning- you are closed off to opportunity.   You are stuck in a small frame of mind. That being s...

Broken Glass Poem

Through your eyes, The glass wall shatters, And piece by piece, Suddenly nothing else matters, The broken shards, Are stained with red, And nothing but sorrow, Is filled in your head, The fractured glass, Digs wounds in your soul, With the feelings of misery, That are taking their toll, Pierced by pain as the glass cuts deeper, Sitting and waiting for a miracle peacekeeper, Searching for signs of change to occur, And hopes of this all becoming a blur, Swept away with hope, And brought to clarity, A save haven for peace, And ultimate tranquility, A new life has started, With no broken glass in sight, For you have pulled through the darkness, To see the sunlight.
