Zulmy D.’s Poems
Chicago
People think i am dangerous & dirty
but really i am misunderstood
& hate being treated like trash
People just throw away their waste
Like im nothing
I'm just a vessel to them
not treating me like the amazing place i am
I have a beautiful skyline and beaches
With amazing views
And now the president has turned against me
treating me like a warzone
Angry and disappointed
people only see the chaos
but they created it within me
Now attacking and hunting the people in my city my space
creating these horrific events
I hate how my people are feeling scared and vulnerable
I want to fight back my people deserve it
They want to divide us and separate us
as were not all whole a community that should
Fight against evil
Beating and harassing families
Scared children screaming as their parents are taken away
“Mijo as lo que te dicen”
Agents aggressively approaching parents and kids
My anger grows immensely
My heart aches
But still shine bring
Like the stars
Bright lakefront shinning
Through the pain
And sorrows
I am sorry i have failed my people
Anger takes over my body
I need my people to fight back
Don't let them take away
Our dignity and the right to fight
For what we love
Who i adore
Kitty kitty, who i adore
when i touch Your fur
i melt in your warmth
Soft like cotton
And when you pur it
Soothes my ears
when the low vibration hugs my ears
each pur heals
my soul hugging & kissing your little face
Touching your paws
Soft like clouds my precious baby beautiful
Green eyed fat baby
Just as big as a raccoon but beautiful as a dove,
with her white fur as her son lays next to her
his belly showing
As he twirls around showing his trust & love
We share mutually
hugging him like a teddy bear
my sweet lovely chunky monkey
My beautiful baby boy
big round eyes like giant marbles
hazel chocolate eyes
shining like the stars
So bright you make my world shine
Just how you make my heart glee
Who i love the most
Most nights i sit alone
and just enjoy the breeze
hitting my face
And filling my body with the amazing feeling of peace
Most people will call this lonely
and kind of sad
but ive enjoyed being alone most of my life
And honestly Since a little girl i felt disconnected,
as i grew older i started to feel out of place
this gut wrenching feeling like i don't belong anywhere
anxiety taking over and my vision becoming blurry
So i just go silent
Quiet like a butterfly but filled with its beauty
As i transform and grow
i realise all i need is me
Filled with joy and purity
Sensitive like glass but strong like metal
And just as cold as both
I stand alone in the dark
But its strange because i dont feel fear but instead comfort
Alone i lay when i feel a strange fluffy void approach me
And snug me in my loneliness
The lonely feeling slowly fading away
ABChicago
A is for architecture where people admire
Bis for the bulls where people go to Cheer
Deep dish is enjoyed as they enjoy the game
E is for Events to honor culture
F is for fighting for our right
Gangsters who surround
and take neighborhoods over
making it their Hood
I is for Interstate where people argue and fight
Justice seems impossible in Chicago
where young Kids get shot
Long live the kids who lost their lives
Many innocent lives been took
NO justice no peace
Outside seems like a war zone
Protect our people
Quit the violence
Ruthless Streets
They Usurp and create
Violence upon us
Windy city instead feels like gotham
Fox 32 on live
Young adults hanging out in
