Trash Bag Boys by Dare-To-Hope, literature

Literature

Trash Bag Boys

We cry salt water tears over boys that don’t even think about us We lose sleep over boys that don’t even blink when we walk out We have so much love buried deep under our armour We are too willing to shed our skins for boys that pretend they care We let them bury deep into our bones and then let them break everything when they leave We hide behind smiles and sticky tape to make everyone think that were are whole. We are strong and powerful women We are caring and gentle forces of nature We are believers in a love that boys will not let us find We are cold and distant because boys like you made us fearful We are terrified that we

Reality

They say age with grace, grow old with dignity. They do not say, one day you will not be able to chew your own food, brush your own hair, look in the mirror and recognise the eyes reflected back. They say life is long so take your time. They do not say at age 55 you will be diagnosed with Alzheimer's, and by 58 you will be bed bound, drooling into your own lap. They say respect your elders. They do not say you will lose all respect for yourself, the same day you lose control of your bladder. They do not say that some people will not understand. They say your family will always be around you, you will have grandchildren and lots of friend

The American Dream

We met sixteen months ago, give or take, at a bar along the riverside. I’d just broken up with my boyfriend and I was in dire need of a drink. You had just been fired from your third job that year. It was March. There was a church nearby and the bells cried out that it was time to go home. Midnight. You deposited yourself onto the bench next to me, unlit cigarette between lips. I pushed my lighter towards you with an outstretched hand which you proceeded to take into yours. You looked at my chipped nails and sighed. The kind of sigh that only comes from a fellow anxious nail biter. You didn’t say much, just held onto my han

She Makes Me Whole

I have this friend With dark brown hair, The most beautiful eyes, Dimples like valleys And a smile that speaks truths. I have this friend With sadness in her soul, Depth in her voice, Serenity in her movement And strength in her bones. I have this friend With the kindest of hearts, The most terrifying anger, Never afraid of failing And her loyalty is fierce. I have this friend With the world in her pupils, Success in her fists, Smoke in her lungs And scars on her wrists. I have this friend With the wildest of dreams, Time on her side, She will not falter And she will always remember (She makes me believe that love is more than a concept

To Keep You Safe

Whenever I have a stomach ache My mum looks up my symptoms Then asks if I am pregnant With a smirk on her face like it’s an inside joke (I will not tell her about the miscarriages) I never get phone calls any more My mum thinks it’s because I don’t have friends What I do not tell her is I punched my number into a man’s phone in a club Only for him to call me at four am Screaming about how I didn’t go home with him Barely able to walk I began to drive to his (I will not tell her it was so he did not make survivors of anyone else) Shorts have lost their place in my wardrobe My mum assumes I am body conscious Jus

Define: dead

My Grandad died on Friday the third of June in the year 2016. He had battled with cancer for many years, and it finally ran it’s course, destroying his kidneys and taking his breath. Dad called me, I was on a night out, he told me, I didn’t cry. I did however, have a panic attack in the toilets at walkabout, back to the sinks, face to the hand dryers. My immediate reaction was to think, he’s not suffering any longer. My second thought was, that bastard is getting into paradise and I’m not. My third thought was, give Sally a hug for me when you get to heaven. The first thought was compassionate, the second and thir

He loves pulling petals from daisies Whispering 'does not' under his breath Over and over Hoping one day they'll turn into doves (Or butterflies) He loves pulling petals from daisies Letting them float like lead to the ground Over and over Dreaming one day the nightmares might stop (Or become a little less beautiful) He loves pulling petals from daisies Waiting for the pollen to stick in his lungs Over and over Praying his leaves will taste sweeter (Or go down better than the ashes did) He loves pulling petals from daisies Aching to forget your touch on his shoulders Over and over Making prayers out of folded paper cranes (Or maybe

But I'm More Immature Than You Think

All of my friends are growing up turning eighteen, driving their cars All of my friends are hanging out smoking in the back without me All of my friends are leaving me well it's me that's leaving them, really All of my friends are excited and I can only dread the future All of my friends are moving on and I'll stay stuck with them in my head All of my friends are leaving home but they're the only home I have left All of my friends are growing up but I'm still a child, that hates to be alone trying not to cry at the thought of leaving home.

who i am far outweighs who i was

last night i pressed a hand up against my ribcage and imagined how it would feel to touch the bones there. once, i could have seen them. but it’s been years and years since then, and sure, sometimes there are days i can only drink tea and lie about how much food i’ve eaten, but there are other days i even eat breakfast and i know that doesn’t sound like a big deal, but trust me, it is. last night i went through my closet and took out every shirt i shoved to the back of my drawers four years ago like a dirty secret, too small by half, but kept in the hopes that some day in the future it might hang right on my shoulders ag
