to be a woman
is to always give love
to what shouldn't be loved
and be forever in love
to be a woman
is to have a lot of needs
that nobody understands
and that nobody can fulfill
to want to run through the forest
watch the moon with a coven
to observe the animals
that go after their mother
to scream when no one can listen
and write verses without thinking
to cry while seeing the mirror

Lord, are you still there?
I feel like I am fading
I’m relying on this prayer
My skin feels so stuck to my bones
He is bleeding me dry
Don’t let me make this my farewell goodbye
He left me here starving… alone
Why did you toss me in the river with my pockets full of stones?

Schaut man in die Medien, sieht man sie überall. Abgemagerte Frauen mit gemachten Brüsten, Lippen, Wangen, Nägeln und so weiter. Schaut man nicht genau hin, denkt man, dass alle gleich aussehen. Ist es wirklich so schön, nicht nur schlank sondern regelrecht dürr zu sein? Wo sind die echten Frauen mit Bäuchen und kräftigen Oberschenkeln? Die Werbung, Serien, Filme oder soziale Medien zeigen fast nu...

_Okay, this isn't like fully the prompt, but I feel like it sorta fits._
I put on a dress that doesn't quite fit me right; doesn't quite hug my body the way my other clothes do.
All of the sudden it's 2021 again.
I hate my body, hate how much I weigh. I hate the way I look in the mirror, hate how some stores don't carry my size in person.
I tug the dres...
I’m locked away in a cage like a bird.
This bird doesn’t have an owner.
It can’t fly freely in the sky.
It cannot get any worms.
**Locked away hopelessly.**
**It’s wings are clipped.**
**So, it let’s out a faithful song.**
Over the hill and far away was a farm.
The bird hoped its song would reach there, but nothing happened.
**Locked away hopelessly.**
**It’s wings are clipped.**

In the depths of a vast and intricate tapestry called life, there exists a haunting emptiness that permeates the very essence of our existence. It is a hunger that transcends the physical, a hunger that gnaws at the core of our being. It is the malnourishment of the soul, a yearning for sustenance that cannot be satisfied by mere food and water.
This hunger takes many forms, manifesting in the de...
The blonde sat by the toilet, the feeling of disgust catching up to him. When will it end?
“Baby, are you in there?” asked his partner.
“Yes, I'll come out in a second!” responded the boy, unable to understand why he felt this way.
Most people his age use the calculator app to cheat on math tests. He wishes he would use the app to cheat on his math test, rather than to cheat on his promise to ...
Cassie sat in the middle of the dying room while hugging her knees into her empty chest. The room was just as empty. The sandy wallpaper was starting to deteriorate off the wall. The thin curtain covering the single window was dressed in moldy food stains. This room, standing still on it’s last breath, was only lit by the lively light of reality seeping through the stained curtain.
Cassie hadn’t ...
The air isn't enough anymore
I guess it never was
Oxygen holds no calories
Nor does my tounge
Which I bite back so hard I choke
My bones stick out
Still strong, still there
Skin wrapped over
Tight and bare
Small waist, thin legs
But that's never what this was about was it?
No, this was because it hurt
Because it was fun
And _easy_
And no one batted an eye
And the air tastes so much nicer
Whe...
What is it
To be sorrounded by all those that you love
In the place you’ve learned to love so much
But in your time of need
In the time you long for a hug
For that shoulder to so freely cry on
You don’t know who to call?
To be deprived of comfort
Even though you seem so comfortable
To be scared of what’s next
Even though you seem to love your life.
What is it
To feel like you should love t...
