She's the kind of beautiful the goes deeper than her skin, it's in her heart, soul and mind. Call me Ro

[rofromtheashes]

When eyebrows and cheekbones

Are used to devalue my worth

And my morals and my strength

Are why I'm a villain

Why am I not allowed to scream?

When I spend nights

Wishing to be thicker

And when others spend nights

Wishing to be thinner

Why is there a claw over our voices?

When my tears

Are the extinguisher for my fire

And my meekness

The fuel for your flame

Why do I let you intoxicate me?

Me

Who and what am I

But an illusion you see

Careful before the next step

Or you'll see the real me

If you hate me, get in line

It's a club, ladies free before nine

They've tried to love me before

But I'm not tamed so easy

Be careful or I might explode

Don't blame me for not telling you so

~rosefromtheashes

[rofromtheashes]

It's painful to remember

The nights we spent laughing

Cos you're there and I'm here

And our infinity didn't last

Now I have new infinities

And maybe they'll be here longer

But those nights we spent laughing

Will forever be with me

A century of fighting

Just to be tossed aside

You call me a feminist

As if I should I should hide?

Women have less rights

Believe it or not

Just because I choose to fight

Doesn't mean I need to be stopped

The most dangerous people are the broken ones. They know how to make hell feel like home.

My dear, one cannot simply recluse themselves and live out the rest of their lives as a hermit

War

The deed is done,

The war has been won,

And now come the aftermath,

The result of this bloodbath,

Heroes rise and grieve,

Let your tiredness leave,

The dead are forever lost,

For victory, this is the cost,

The hero’s choice has been made,

Never let the memory of him fade.

It will come with a final breath

Let us welcome, death.

Kind of inspired by Percy Jackson, like in the scene right after Kronos is defeated.

New Beginning

My heart was broken, it was shattered

I learned to survive on my own

I forgot what mattered

There was no life in my bones

I picked up what I had left

I thought I’d never be happy again

It was a never ending episode of distress

The sky cried with me when it rained

In an unbelievable fluke I met you

And then, I thought nothing of it

But from within my days coloured with blue

I wanted to be happy again, you made me admit

Saw through my mask and shared my pain

Helped me forget the distrust of the past

I deserved love, knocked that into my brain

And then the time came at last

I fell and tripped into love

My heart yearned for yours in return

But you cared for someone above

I would not make the same mistake, I was firm

Then you surprised me like no other

Told me you felt the same

Why did I hesitate, I wonder

And so to speak, you achieved your aim

~rosefromtheashes

[rofromtheashes]

I was happy, I was safe

Far away from others constant chafe

Every day was bright like a starry night

But life proved that I didn’t have that right

What went wrong, I don’t know

But rivers cannot always smoothly flow

The demons gathered in my mind

To the cruelty of the world, I was no longer blind

I was hurt, sure and deep

Of an oceans worth, I weeped

I reached out, but no one came

Instead I got caught up in your game

Told me you cared, and I believed

And then you left, sooner than I could see

The Aftermath

they ask me how i forgive

those who wronged my naive heart

the truth is that i dont

they ask me how i defend

those who ruined my pure soul

the truth is that i deserved it

a naive heart and pure soul

have no place in this cold world

it was my mistake to think that they did

i earned the bruises thatll never leave

and the scars tainting me

lovers lie and friends die

and to this day, they say i deserved it

and to this day, my shadows haunt me

but this day, they find out the truth 

~rosefromtheashes

[rofromtheashes]

part one

me or them, you said

as you watched my heart tear

one by one, you took away

the things I loved other than you

maybe you were jealous

or annoyed, by my obsessions

but you were my obsession too,

and you knew it

i gave you power over me

and you used it to the fullest

you called it my mistake;

and watched while I blamed myself

this just part one. i’ve decided to start posting poems on here, tell me if you want more!
