Broke Arm 

by Ms. Cherry 

Straining & pushing 

Lines erased & redrawn 

Like some sort of pattern 

My body begging for some kind of break 

That I refuse to give it, for the sake of productivity 

For the sake of perfection.

Tulips

by Ms. Cherry

Please love me for the monster I am

And not the woman I’ll become

Poet Statement:

I derive my writing from events all the way down to the people that have been contributors to certain parts of it; it has helped me get out of my emotional discomfort and confusion in a way where I don’t bother anyone. I hope that whoever reads my poetry can find a way to connect and heal in some way when others around them don’t completely understand how they feel or know how to correctly help.
