#society expectations

[nameless-island]

one of my favourite things about being a feminist is destroying the small seeds of self-hatred patriarchy planted in me because i'm a woman. recently, i looked at my body hair and i thought it looked beautiful. and it is such a big change from an 12-year old girl who waxed her legs and cried because a boy touched my legs and said im not a girl because I have hair on them

🌙We are stressed out

And fucked up

We spend hours and hours

Doing something that doesn't matter

We are going out

Late in the night

Smoke a cigarette or two

Telling lies, wasting time🌙

✨You are going to bed at night

You think about today

How horrible it was

And then you close your eyes, fall asleep

You wanna do something right

But you can't, but you still try

You wanna do your best today

So your tomorrow will be better✨

Side note: I haven't wrote anything poetic on a while now. I know that this is quite edgy or dark or whatever you wanna call it, but I feel like is a good representation of the pressure that the "society expectations" affect people. Ofc everyone acts differently but this is how I personally feel about it. Hope you enjoy ♥️

just stop it

Why me?

I want to look at you

I want to feel you

I want to love you

But I cannot...

If I do I would be looked upon as a freak

An Outsider

Why me?

Why do I have to have these feelings?

I tell myself

Don't look at her...

She doesn't like you back

Don't u dare look at her

She's going to hate you if she figures it out

Nobody will ever love me because of who I am

Will I ever find love?

No...you're not normal

Nobody likes you and they never will...

It's always been this way

A boy with a girl

A female with a male

Nothing more and nothing less

But....

A boy does not make my heart flutter every time I pass by him in the hallway

A boy does not give me butterflies whenever I speak to him

A boy does not make me feel like my heart is going to burst when he smiles at me

I feel weird

Different from the others

I hate it, I truly do and I cannot take it anymore

It's driving me internally insane

It kills me inside...

I cannot keep pretending to be someone who I am not

It hurts me deeply inside

My heart is breaking every day from the rejection of my true self

I can't even tell my best friend about this

I can't....

I don't want to

I don't want this

I hate this...I truly do

I-I can't do anything about it....but live with it

I just want to be happy

That's all I've ever wanted

But no...I cannot be happy

I am utterly confused about myself

I don't understand what I am nor who I am

Society is screwing me up mentally and physically

I once knew who I was before...the truth

I was young and innocent once

But now I am facing society's wrath and expectations that I do not meet

I don't like this... I don't want this

So please tell me....Why me?

Dear "grow up already" people, especially parents

Tell what the hell sleeping with a huge stuffed animal, climbing trees and eating my food cut into little animal-shaped pieces have to do with "being mature" or "grown up"?

I wrote this short piece in  JANUARY 3, 2012 . (* Correction note: The ribbons are our fate) 

--------

I was thinking about society and how we get caught up under its shadows of expectations. 

Time goes by and memories get lost in the mental chaos. 

The only thing that is left is to live in the “here and now”, constantly making the choice of looking at the beauty within the present.
