Him Christy Granger This wasn’t supposed to happenYou were not supposed to happenWhat a special ability you have
I do not trust easilyI do not trust at all
I gave up on love years agoIt was not for meThe torture it brought was too much for me
Here I amWhat is happeningThis is not like me
I will not fall for anyone ever again
I am a strong independent womanWhat do i need a man for
For the way you make me feelNever in my life has this happened to meI would like to say it had
What a foreign conceptSafe I have never really felt safe
CalmWhat is that
TrustHow do I trust you so completely
This doesn’t make senseHow did you do that with such ease
I do not love
I do not likeI do not trust
Love was for suckersI had no time for it at all
Maybe I trust men after allMaybe I don’t hate all of themMaye they don’t all hate meMaybe they don’t all want to hurt me
My experiences with men have never been goodJust once I wish they were

Write After: National Poetry Month with One Poem Only

Write After is a way to encourage poets to listen and write, and use National Poetry Month to highlight how listening to poetry makes us better poets. I know I write the best when I’m surrounded by beautiful poetry–it’s part of the reason I created this podcast, and I want to encourage others to share this practice.

We'll get started in April. You can share to #WriteAfterOPO.
