The Box in the Basement
I will never forget the day my teacher gave us this special assignment. It was a special one because it was a contest. The winner would get a $50.00 gift card to Barnes and Noble and would be published. To this day, I have no idea where it is published. During this time in my life, I was fighting for who I was becoming, no matter anyone had said to make me feel small. It would later spark lots of attention that year included a reading in front of a large group in the cafeteria and a summer of writing.

A Woman's Embody
As a child, they told meThat he is stronger than she.Now as a woman, I've learnedThat they thought they were telling me the truth but they weren't.He might be strong enough to bear my body on top of his bodyBut he doesn't know how to hold what a woman embodies.He neglects the tears, tenderness, and time she invests into him because returning no emotion is a male attribute;He wasn't taught that seeds express their appreciation by giving back fruit.And he loves the taste of her forbidden fruit,But his mouth is closed when she says that she loves him. A woman can stand tall without him though, if her roots are grounded, she can nurture herself and others with the strength in her limbs.
