In March we honor women of the
past,
Whose tales of struggle, triumphs
forever last;
Their fight for rights, to be seen and
heard,
Breaking the norms, and barriers that
deterred.
From Susan B. Anthony to Harriet
Tubman,
Brave souls whose strength, we
cannot fathom;
They paved the path for generations
to come,
Their legacies endure, their work far
from done.
Women from every walk of life and
land,
Their contributions priceless, impact
grand;
Fighting for justice, peace, and
equality,
Their voices rising, a force of vitality.
As we celebrate the progress that's
been made,
We know that there's more progress
to be paved;
So let's honor
the women of the past,
And pledge to keep fighting until the
last.
This month we pay tribute to the
women who fought,
Their struggles we recognize, their
battles we are taught;
Their determination and courage an
inspiration,
To keep moving forward, with a strong determination.
Happy Womens History Month - InkyBendy

I said it’s not that you don’t care
It’s that I don’t need to care
‘Cause nobody truly cares about me
I said it’s not that you don’t love
It’s that I don’t need love
‘Cause nobody truly loves me
Not the real me
Nobody knows me
Not the real me
Nobody knows me
Inside I want to die
But I stay alive
In touch with your mood
I move around you
I never damage your web
In tune with your head
I play your muse
Never off-track, instead,
I don’t exist I
Only exist in my mind
I don’t enjoy I
Only enjoy my mind
In this world of masks and lies I feel lost,
I can’t disguise
The pain I hold inside
But I keep going,
day by day Hoping that somehow,
someway Things will get better,
and I’ll find my way
I know it’s hard to understand The way I feel,
the way I am But I need to be true to myself,
to be free
And even though I might seem cold
I have a story that’s yet untold And someday,
I hope someone will see
The real me, the one inside The one that I’ve been trying to hide, And maybe,
just maybe,
they’ll care and love me.

I disregard her calls and texts with ease But her smile, once beautiful, now makes me freeze For I've seen the truth behind that crooked grin And I wish I could erase the memory within "It only happened a few times," she says As if the words could make my worries fade But my mind races, spinning in fear That the monster will again appear Normally, I'm strong and can defend But at that moment, I was broken, unable to mend "I didn't mean it, come back!" she cried But her words were empty, a hollow lie That crooked smile once full of charm Now hides deceit, causing great harm Believe her lies and your soul will pay the toll Leaving you like a tree in winter, bare and cold.
