Superwoman Crashing

Superwoman Crashing

It hurts. Everything you do or say, it hurts. She is Superwoman, she is always supposed to be strong and smart and supportive and someone who is always put together because she is invincible, but no more. Should she say thank you for bringing the 'old' her back, should she thank you for taking away her ability to fly? Should she thank you for taking the power behind her words leaving her with nothing left to say? Oh, but don't worry she might not be herself anymore, but her name is still Superwoman after all.

Boom. Boom. Boom. Do you hear that? It's the sound of what you've done to her. Piece by piece you have taken her apart. You have destroyed her and then used a glue stick to put her back together again. She's trying her best to do what you want her to do but for god sakes she is not a puppet, and there are no strings attached to her limbs. Not only did the 'S' on her chest stand for super but it stood for success and the ability to strive under pressure. Now, the 'S' on her chest stands for stupid and sanctimonious. Or at least pretending to be sanctimonious in order to throw off the civilians.

Ever since you glued her back together she walks just fine, and speaks just as frequently as she used to but if look close enough you'll see the cracks in between the pieces that used to make her worthy of human rights.

Superwoman crashing because she can no longer fly

Superwoman crashing because you stole her ability to fly

Superwoman crashing because she is too afraid to try again

Superwoman crashing because this may be the end

Smile and laugh is what she does all the time. Smile and laugh is what she does all the time? Correction: Smile and laugh was what she used to do all the time. But when was the last time a smile or laugh crossed paths with her. Cheers to the good o'l day when this hero was super. Cheers to the good o'l days when this hero was a hero.

Superman always falls and feels pain, but when the time comes around he rises from the ashes and saves the day once again. When will Superwoman rise from her ashes and save the day? Or is the pain that she has suffered so great that she will never recover no matter how hard she tries.

Superwoman crashing because of you

Superwoman crashing because of them

Superwoman crashing because she has nothing left to give

Superwoman crashing because she has nothing left to take

You use her and abuse her as if she is your slave but did you ever take a breath and ask yourselves what makes this woman so super? What makes her so super is the way she did everything with such love and care. Every battle she fought and won was accomplished because she believed that at the end of the day, she had support from the civilians she helped save everyday. She was their equal.

Superwoman crashing and you're trying to stop her

Superwoman crashing and no one can stop her

Superwoman has crashed and it's because of you

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
