Wendy Moravec Poems

Rip my heart out and fillet it like a fish
Squash my self-respect and spit on it like trash
Call me out on every stumble I make as I walk life's path
Then trash me for pointing out you have fallen too
...

If you’re a freak like me let me shake your hand,

It means you’re an original piece of hand-made art.
...

To talk about the thoughts I hold near
Will take more strength than I possess
The reality of the situation is
I’m afraid to speak the words out loud
...

You come to me at night
Weaving your magic in the air.
Attempting to gain my favor
You become what I dream of each night.
...

The violet opens
And within it’s tender embrace
Lies the world as I should be
Tender as a loving mother
...

There is an ironclad verbal contract between you and me

That if I desire to harm this self, I have to speak free
...

You don't know me well
But how can I expect you to?
When I don't know myself
How can I ask you to?
...

Looking into the mirror I see my reflection
That girl on the other side makes me cringe in disgust
I slam my fists into the glass beating her hard
The broken shards slice into my hands like a hot knife through butter
...

Get you outta my mind
...

So Hungry to find a place to feel safe and welcome
Craving a connection of some manner, one that counts
Famished to feel another’s hand when I blindly reach out
Starving to be accepted for the mess that is me.
...
