Beauty in Distress

She strides like a bird set free. Flapping her wings I. Such flamboyant motion.  But her soul is caged. 

By Mr. Shakur

Hiding behind a facade of smiles, dancing and weiry laughter. When will our souls finally be at peace and truly happy? 

Written by Zinny

I've learnt how to cry without producing tears. I've learnt not to give myself fully into anything or anyone, to always keep a peice of me for me, for my sanity. They more you trust people, the more you open yourself to a person, you give them the power to hurt you. Inch by inch. I've also learnt no matter how I claim to be used to pain. Pain will always hurt. Even if I've mastered the art of crying without tears, I'll still choke on it. I'll pick up my broken skin.              -Jayb 

Like a goat being led to a slaughter.. I was trapped in a position where I couldn't say no. I watched helplessly as you coerced me into that which I feared. Yet I was escatic. The hour glass had run out of sand. And I couldn't face the wall any longer. The only option was to face my fears.

I'll make you delirious. I'll distort your government. Q

I may not be able to write at the moment but I hope all this poetic pictures speak to you.  -JayB

I'm a freak for his touch. Arousing desires my ancestors can feel

Let me stain your memories with images of me.      - JayB

Weakend by the desires of my mortal flesh. A slave of the affections I yearn for. I am a robot to pleasures of my deepest lusts. Reminiscing our memories, every moment and minute. Every piece of you, believe me when I say every nook and cranny. The feel of your skin on my finger tips, the way they curve to the abs. The feel of your heart beat in my ear creating a melody my day dreams dance to. The taste of your lips on my tongue that creates a pool of moisture in my essence. The temperature of your breath on my skin as we do the dance that lovers do with your chest heavy on me, as your sweat endears my body a magical moment. Thoughts I recollect on cold lonely days.      -JayB

Come let's dance under the stars as you sing me your lies. Let the moonlight add detail to your deceit. Let's love despite all your flaws. Don't be deceived I'll be the shadow that stalks you in the deep of the night. One more outrageous lie and a dagger will be part of your heart.          -Jayb

"I am homesick for a place I am not sure even exists. One where my heart is full. My body loved. And my soul understood."             — Unknown

Skin covered in ego Get to talkin', I get involved, like a rebound No control, no off switch in the way that you bringing me down It's a turn on, get it away from me Know you mean wrong, keep away from me And it's all wrong, get it away from me, yeah I just cry for no reason, I just pray for no reason I just thank for the life, for the day, for the hours and another life breathin' I did it all 'cause it feel good You could live it all if you feel bad Better live your life We are running out of time.  -Kedrick Lamar and SZA

#RespectToAllWomen I AM A WOMAN!!! - So what? I get into an argument with a man, he slaps me, I feel the pain, yet they tell me I provoked him. I should have been quiet, I should have been patient. I should apologize to him. I get into an argument with a man, I slap him, they tell me I have no respect, no home training. I should have been quiet, I should have been patient. I should apologize to him. Because I am a woman, I don't have a right to be angry. So, the degree of my innocence is directly proportional to the degree of my silence in the face of oppression and brutality..... Because I am a woman, my husband cheats on me, I am told to tolerate it to save my marriage. The barbaric and stupid excuse is that ''it is in their nature to cheat, I should slim down, dress better, cook better, pray harder and be more pleasant to him" I cheat, and I am called a whore, I have committed an abomination, I have no right to look elsewhere for the love and emotional s...

I dedicate this write up to my mother although she probably won't see it I love you.

In the deep of the night I find myself craving your touch. Longing for the heart your body emits. Dreaming of your breath on my neck.
