Schizophrenia
I've suffered from Psychosis (Schizophrenia) since I was 13-years-old. Voices, visions, smells, feelings, men, women, monsters, animals. You name it. However, not all of my hallucinations have a threat stained on them. Some are simply meant to be heard. Here, we examine the disorder as a man in a suit. Dark brown hair and lingering dark eyes. We envision the struggle with the illness as a dance. The woman is struggling to let go and free herself, but the man just won't let the music stop.

Feminism
What are women without their voice? We are nothing, really. Just something to make supper and take up space. We, as women, need to stand up for ourselves and truly try to make a difference in this world. This poem explores the expectations of a woman from a man, her "superior." Here, we learn that a woman's voice is not baggage, but the essence of herself.

Crave Me, Tease Me, Hold Me...
Crave me til I'm black and blue til the image of me is all you can see whether i'm there or i'm gone. Tease me to the point of ecstasy & leave me be to soak in the thought of you. Oh Tease me like you got everything to lose or nothing, if it helps.
