Love never comes with a manual, it is most of the unexpected ups and downs of a rollercoaster. How you feel, how deep you love constantly changes. Loving the heartbreaks, embracing everything love gives? I believe we should discuss about that.
I had been thinking of the century we live in, with all these innovations, technologies we have, women are still treated as second class. Educating men has not been solving the issue if you read the rape, violence news, help cries of women from all around the world on social media platforms. There have been too many things the society chose to ignore, it will be safe to say that they are still turning blind, deaf and mute… It most of the time comes down to women empowering women. Why do you think? Because all of us had been touched without consent here and there, mansplained, ignored, belittled to keep the fragile men ego intact. As a woman, I am proud to scream on top of my lungs: I AM NOT HERE TO PLEASE THE WORLD! Sisters, friends, daughters, mothers….Women! Unite! Together, we will take down the man’s world! Love, Cathy

Bury me Along with the words, We do not have The courage To speak out. This deafening silence Between us, All these glass Shards of words, We swallow down, To protect our pride. We buried together, So many heartbreaks, Resentments, anger, Love and hate, Pain, what did we Hope to gain? Losing ourselves Piece by piece Every single day. To keep The sanity intact, We created Our own insanity. I see the questions In your eyes, I hear the disappointment, Loud and clear, In your silence; Is it a cold shoulder? That game, we volunteered To play, Turnt us into its pawns, Can’t you see, We’re both losing? No winners in this game! My stillborne love, My naive boy, We will not win This time, You and I. We bled too much, Too damaged this time. Please, Stop now, I’m not playing Any more. Bury me, In the graveyard of your soul.
Making Out With Words We write for the one, Well-knowing these words We bled out in ink Will never be read by them. May be it is the beauty of it, There is nothing now Holding us back to use our words, No fear of losing, What we already do not have. I am not afraid, I am wide-open to the possibility. As I will wait, I am making out with words, Daydreaming your lips.
