For The Broken

by Shenaia Lucas

she was beautiful before he said so and she remained beautiful when he stopped saying it

he took her for granted and lost a diamond chasing glitter

sleep tight and fight again tomorrow

you have given enough time to pain the time for healing has begun -healing begins now

i will love you when your light is all but snuffed out by the darkness i will love you when you think you’ve never been more broken i will love you through it all because you are mine

seduce me from my brain outwards

how is it that women are so much of humanity and yet are treated as so little

i pray that i never become immune to injustice for the struggle of any is the struggle of all

if you only denounce evil and do nothing about it you are part of the problem -problem

just because you have free speech doesn’t mean there will be no consequences for spewing hate speech

they were born next to the finish line of this race and yet refuse to acknowledge the advantage they obtained with their first breath

when viagra must be covered but birth control is a burden you know who’s making the rules

they will go to such incredible lengths to hate

don’t look down at your feet look up at the stars
