My name is Samantha and I am a 22 year old college first year senior at UNCG trying to figure out life as I type this. I am very involved in activism for LGBT rights, women's rights, human rights in general. I enjoy intellectual and political discussion, movies, music, reading, meeting new people, writing poetry and newspaper articles, and the lifelong acquistion of knowledge in and outside the classroom.

Swallow Once Again

Green, Blue, Purple
All in various kinds
To alleviate your mind
Taste the pain as you swallow once again

Pausing the way its always been
You said you could stop
But I’m still waiting when
Taste the regret as you swallow once again

Born into your hands
Without a man
They laid on the counter
Taste the comfort as you swallow once again

Bruise the loved ones
Their daughters, their sons
Wound their pride
Taste the betrayal as you swallow once again

Bouncing among your lies
She’s the only one who doesn’t know
What do you have to show her
Taste the deceit as you swallow once again

Red across your face
A stitch under your eye
Though dangerous, you yell “their mine”
Taste the hypocrisy as you swallow once again

Your secret weapon
They lived through it with you
Your days, fill them in
With each day, every sin
Give what you need
I was naïve, but now I see
What you were trying to teach me
Its quite refreshing, quite swell-your sugarcoated hell
Taste your destruction as you swallow once again
