Sunkisses can turn to burns
Water glissens can cause concerns
because too much and your drowning
wet and hot and burnt
But isnt pain and pleasure to die for
so many lessons to learn

Fall or fly
And I fall sometimes
I fall
Or am I just flying
It feels like Im dying
Yet weightless
Every problem off my shoulder
Am I gliding? Surviving?
Or will I hit the ground in a crash
I never know how far down I’ll go
Before my wings open up again
But Im scared that one day they wont
Taylor
Stand
You are invading my space
Stand
I’m not going to move from where I was sat
You approached me
So cheers to that
But I want you to stand
And take steps furher back
And you will.
Because you see the power in my pupils
The strength in my stance
And you know you couldn’t handle me
You wouldn’t even have a chance
Taylor
Standing up for myself, especially in the case of drunk men or boys, is something that I will always applaud myself. You come to me, expect you to be the one who moves, because I made my bed, and you are not in it.
back of the bus
I hear you at the back of the bus
Staring eyes up my legs
I hear words describing my body
From my toes to my head
You talk about what you would do
But you dont see my music is paused
You are being quite creative
But I still wont applause
Your lack of balls
Compliment me to my face
But its alright of course,
You wouldn’t even get a taste
Taylor
As a woman It can feel dehumanising when you hear people talking about your body and what they want to do. But there is still some empowerment I find in it, that something as simple as my body will be the centre of your attention, and conversation. Find it powerful how my body can turn their heads away from anything else to say.
Mummy….
Mummy,
I’m sorry for our fights
it isn’t right
to be angry with the woman who gave me life,
with the mother that made me who I am.
You taught me to be strong,
I try to show my strength in fights,
but it makes us both weaker,
we need each-other’s love to thrive.
Then, we wont have anything to fear,
because together you and I
are greater than ever
and all our problems will disappear
Taylor
I wrote this obviously for my mum, who is the greatest woman alive, shes taught me how to stand up for myself, how to look after myself ….ect but because of this I stand up to her sometimes, and I wish we didnt, because the women in my family are so strong, and if we all got along always we could do so much good. And the days that we all are getting along are some of the best days in my life
