I'm a wench because I disagreed with your opinion. I'm bossy because I told you what to do. I'm a slut because I have the confidence to impress people. I'm a bitch because I got the promotion you didn't work for. I don't want to be a wench purely because I disagreed with someone. I don't want to be bossy, I want to be respected as the leader. I want to build up confidence without the fear of having it torn down by a label. I don't want to called a bitch just because I did better than someone else.

Childhood by TakingOpposites, literature

Literature

Childhood

Growing from small, a dust of a seed We stumble and crawl, we fall and we bleed Taking over land, one step at a time Holding onto her hand, she tells you you're fine We speak and we cry, when things are getting rough We mumble and lie, because the truth's not enough A size six is too big, but we get it instead As if we want to dig, at the kid in our head Through forests or light, through tall trees and forts We put up a fight, cutting youth of life short Struggling to grow, because we still haven't learnt That what we don't know, is what gets us all burnt Desperation rings, like soaking wet rags Our baby lungs sting, as we flare

I Don't Want

I don't want to be a freak Because I told a joke I don't want to be labelled weak Because I wouldn't smoke I don't want to be called a bitch Because I won the game I don't want to be named a witch Because you and I aren't the same I don't want to be put down as a slut Because I kissed you one night I don't want to have to keep my mouth shut Because you know I'll win the fight I don't want to be your second choice when you're stuck Because I'll be the woman you never had I don't want to be told I got the job out of luck Because it made you feel bad I don't want to be christened a whore Because I made a mistake I don't want to be welcomed t

World

Don't ignore Or shut the door Question yourself What's right anymore? Don't stand aside And let it go on Don't run and hide From what is wrong The trees are falling And where are you? With the others crawling For a pair of Jimmy Choo's We watch as we drain A planet of life What will remain Once we put down the knife? We are selfish fools Turning on one another Abandoning tools Forgetting our mothers Pushing at walls But letting them stand Choosing by colour Letting go of a hand Who cares about gender? We claim we're the same But we tear down each other Taking no blame What is the use? Maybe you mutter We're just going to lose I hear as I s

Why I want to be like a train

Trains. They run so fast and then So slow They screech and cry as their chains get too tight But when the sun shines They get through fine The rest of the world Is just a tv screen to the train Blurred and disapearing as quick as it came Why should it bother to care about what's outside? Faster and faster, it blows past everything else Until it has to stop It opens its doors New people run on, saying hello Then others say their farewells They run off the train with no second glance But the train has to keep going With new people in its travels Without the people from before A bump stops the train once more Things slow It lies broken, needin

NEW.

0 min read

Hey guys! Long time no see! It's been crazy in all honesty. But I'm back! Despite being still as incredibly busy as before.. but ah well what can you do! So much has happened since I've been on dA.. wow! BUT! I've just started a blog. Today being that day. Because I want to stand up for something. Over my life time, I have been so incredibly shy. Too shy to actually get up off my ass and speak my mind. And now, after starting new sections of my life, I am no longer so shy. Not so shy at all really. I want to stand up and say something. I want to take a stand and fight for exactly what I believe in. I opened my eyes, and realised t

Over a month

0 min read

Has it really been over a month? :( It has. I feel really bad. Especially over summer. Damn. A lot happen. That's the least I can say. My little friend passed away over the summer. She was the best doggie I've ever known. </3 RIP. Apart from that things have been busy as usual. Hope your summers were fab. Back to work now! :/ Meadhbh
