A Woman Scorned

Last night he hit her again

but this time she said it was the END

even though she said that a 1000 times

Her screams are the melody of a woman scorned

her cries are of a woman reborn..Lesson Learned?

Wondering how she could let him degrade her

I listened to their last words...filled with intense passion

But there is nothing new about this..its played out and old fashioned

He'll be back...the thought makes my heart ache

She covers the bruises with scarves and glasses

He tries to fall in love...but instead he crashes

But she'll say she's sorry just to get him home

Now she knows things don't stay good its merely how they start

She couldn't hide the bruise of a tortured heart...

I guess that's the hardest part

Because the next man will see those same scars

So is it his fault that she's hurt

Or did she forget her own worth

Loving too hard was her gift and her curse

Should i be embarrassed or just plain scared

Thinking back to the time i was there

If only i could have shown her the way

Just wanted to post and old poem of mine..Please feel free to comment or critique :)

I love "Love" unconditionally

Have you fallen in love with your significant other or have you fallen for the thought of being in love? That may seem like a crazy question so ill explain more. 

We've all witnessed it, one month our friend is madly in love with one person, then two months later they've fallen in love all over again. Most people would just lable it as lusting but i dont see everything so black and white. I've been a victim myself, thought that the feelings i had for someone was real and it was great! I wanted the world to know about it too. Soon after, the smoke cleared and I realized that the dizzy feeling and heart pounding was not from loving that person but from the excitement that i had finally captured what i'd been brainwashed in to believing was the ultimate prize. I had found "Love" and it was an amazing accomplishment. But you see thats just it i fell in love with "Love" and not the person and when i found that out he was gone already.

Im not too sure if i have ever truely loved someone but i know that when i finally do it is going to be amazing. How do I know that? Well havent you heard all the songs on the radio, read all the poetry, romantic books or seen all the love stories? They've already confirmed that we all have a chance. Yeah I sound crazy but isnt that what we are lead to believe? Love will conquer all, it knows no boundaries and follows no rules and when it finds you i suggest you hold on tight and be ready for a roller-coaster ride of emotions.

What do we really know about love? I know that Love is patient, kind and forgiving but is it a thing or an emotion? We speak as if it is a tangible object but we also use it to describe how we feel about someone. To me it is the safest, most dangerous word in the world. You can use it to both to uplift someone and to keep them in shackles. Crazy huh? Well then yeah that's Love...Love is crazy.

I want to touch Love, Taste it, feel and caress it! Thats how i feel about it but i dont think I've ever attached a name to it and felt the same. Hmmm...I Love ___, I love You, I love "Love"! Yea thats it...I Love "Loving You" so simple yet so complicated at the same time.

Loving and not expecting to be loved back is unconditional love, "blind love" they call it. 

If you can relate to my story/random thoughts then you might want to rethink a few things...lets do it together though!

Valentine's Day-Single Awareness Day

Its that time again ladies! The day that we put our loved one on the spot to show us exactly how much they care about us. Let me start by saying this, I am strongly against Valentine's Day (Single). It has nothing to do with being lonely i just never felt it necessary for someone to go out of their way for me because they feel obligated.

I'm not knocking the lucky women that will be spending precious time with their lover because that would be "hating" and i don't partake in such activities! Are there any rules that go along with this stressful day? Men, how do you decide if a female is worthy of receiving your full attention and declaring that she is your woman? 

I find it strange for men that i have no romantic involvement with to even text me those treacherous words. why? well because i fell as if they don't recognize the meaning behind it, or have i over thought this? You wouldn't tell someone that doesn't celebrate Christmas "Merry Christmas", so why would u tell someone who is obviously single "Happy Valentines Day"? 

To the lucky Lovers out there do not take this day or the other 364 days for granted because love is a gift that should be freely given out. Make sure that special someone understands that its not a gimmick and that you honestly love them. Oh and please be more personal than a text message. You will thank me later.

To the Bachelors out there, be careful what you say today because there are women out there with their hearts sunken waiting on someone to make them feel special. Lets try not to take advantage of that for at least tonight.

And to my SINGLE people out there, Lets not be bitter or angry at cupid today. When its your turn to be in love you wouldn't want anybody disrespecting it. Go out and do something nice for yourself. You've been single everyday leading up to this so why make yourself feel bad knowing today isn't any much worse than yesterday.

Teen Pregnancy

The tenth annual National Day to Prevent Teen Pregnancy will take place on May 4th, 2011. I was talking to a friend of mine and she didnt sound to happy. The father of her 5 month old baby decided that taking care of a baby was "too much work" can u believe that? If your a single mother im pretty sure this is old news to you. I got lost in my thoughts thinking about how many other teenage girls are dealing with this same foolishness. A part of me was upset with her and the mistakes she made but the other part of me was proud of her for overcoming such adversity and taking care of her child. Then i thought, what other choices does she have?! unlike her boyfriend she couldnt just walk away from the child that came out of her womb. They were apart of each other!

The U.S. teen birth rate declined 6% in 2009 and is now at a record low. But studies still show that 3 out of 10 girls get pregnant by the age of 20! Now that may not be a surprise to anyone but just think about it Teachers, Parents, Students and Friends, 3 out of every 10 girls in your class, your son or daughters CLASS will be pregnant before they are even legally allowed to drink! Now thats crazy!

But who is to blame for this Parents, Society, Friends, TV or do we place all the blame on the individual? I constantly wonder if these teens ever had a chance. With the steady rise in broken homes who is there to enforce the rules and give the necessary amount of love so our kids no longer have to go outside of the home to seek it. No one in our communities are speaking up about the issue they just continue to judge but who is there to give advice and be a positive role model for them. 

Where were their friends when they were out making this wrong decision and why are they not stepping up and offering advice to their obviously confused friends. Lets not forget TV, where everything is glorified. Yes it is our own responsibility to seperate reality from entertainment but with shows like "Teen Mom" how do we really expect our kids to learn anything? Maybe we show get deeper into the real life behind teen pregnancy!

I will go no further without acknowledging the individuals that made the decision to partake in the act knowing that it is neither smart nor appropriate. There are so many other things to put energy into and you have so much time to learn the effects and emotions that some along with sex. What do you have to look forward to now? and have you thought about how your actions will affect the child you are bringing into this world? " If you are dumb enough to have teen sex atleast be smart enough to use protection."

I'd like to hear your opinions and if you feel that i totally missed the mark feel free to speak up <3

One Night Stands

We all have them or at least would like to. What is a One Night Stand? I'd define it as hooking up with someone for one night of sex with no strings attached and hoping to never see them again...lol

Since we're being honest lets talk about the stigma behind it. Most guys will be upfront and let u know how many they had and the details along with it. So tell me why is it so wrong for a woman to go out and have mature sex with no strings attached and no promise of a future relationship?! I don't know about y'all but our generation is no longer keeping sex behind closed doors. Why should a sexually active woman be labeled as a Hoe just because she enjoys the company of different men? Is it society or stupidity?

In some cases you don't even know if your a one night stand until you wake up and that guy/girl that you thought liked you has suddenly vanished. What was his/her again and why did the take a piece of you and leave like they were never there. 

Who is the biggest "Hoe" the person that planned to leave or the person that woke up punk'd?

I wanna know how y'all feel about them and lets share some juicy details. Your stories are welcome and ill give an honest opinion.

With Love, <3
