Frozen 11 of 30 NaPoMo2015

Say something!
Do something!
React!
We all think we'll be the hero when the time comes to step up against the bad guys.
Oh well if that happened to me I would...
I can't believe that happened, I would've...
That's horrible you should've...
Well you could've...
In the moment when the monster camouflaged as something... someone harmless
Decides to strike
Someone hit the pause button on empowerment
Fear froze my womanly strength
Froze my reflexes
Froze  my mind
This is not the kind of thing you can really prepare for.
But when you're violated in the middle of a crowded subway car
Stuck, struck, stroke, choking for air
All alarms going off on the inside
But still frozen with fear on the outside
Its so unfair, you want to stand up for yourself.
It's over it happened, but never again
She thought until the next time she ran into a similar beast
Iced response cannot compute what is happening
Say something!
Do something!
React!
Don't just stay frozen
Don't stay broken
Don't let your spirit be stolen.

Oops 24 of 30 NaPoMo2014

Oops
The plate fell
Oops
I didn't mean to tell your secret
Oops
I forgot the gift
Oops
Never comes before something good

#SemanaSanta2014 22 of 30 NaPoMo2014

Being rejected from a job
All night at the bus station
Didn't get to see the Mezquita or Cathedrals

Leaving jacket at the bus stop.
Unable to check hostel
Cheated by taxi man
Knocking over purse with water bottle near laptop

Burned 12 of 30 NaPoMo2014

It's time
To pick up the matches
Among the ashes
Left from too many flames
Lit and re-lit
But not getting it quite right
And getting quite upset
About the outcome
Overcome with loneliness
It's no wonder
She set her love life on fire.

Electronics Bad Luck (Haiku)

Technological
Broken apparatuses
Tech not logical

False Charm- NaPoMo 15 of 30

We could have really started something
But what you really wanted
Was my friend
Just an illusion
To cause confusion
You were the one that lost out in the end

Damned Decisions (PiP Poetry in Progress)

She sat there in front of art and architecture.
Places where royalty have roamed.
Reaching places may have only dreamed of.
But the dream isn't fulfilled.
There are still some pieces missing
The amusing part of the mystery
Is that which pieces need placing are unknown.
So play with endless ideas/scenarios
To make this amazing work in progress feel complete,
Instead of at times obsolete.
Hit the concrete running
Instead of running into a wall
Or running away
But where to stay is part of the problem
Comfortable with one idea
But constrained by its limits.
Endless things to check off a list
Wishing physics could fix the issue
It's not you it's me
Lonley, among other things
Until further notice.

Over It

Seasons change

Coming and going

As we continue to flip the calendar pages

Stages of life

Ages or periods

Of glee or sorrow

Tomorrow we don't know what awaits us

But I'm hoping for the sun 

To push away those clouds

That have overstayed their welcome for a while now

I need some breathing room

Because this bad luck has taken me in like quicksand

And in the grand scheme of things

This just isn't working for me.
