“Just Because” by Sam Bartlett

Just because a woman

Cannot be free

She must stay strong

Happiness is the key

Love should be focused on me

Keeping it young and fresh

Happiness is the best

Taking a dangerous chance

Pull the boy out to dance.

“My Heart and Hopes” By Danikha Edwards

My heart and hopes give to you.

I am now strong and happy.

If ever broken-hearted, I shall be miserable.

Spirits smashed, almost

Impossible to fix.

“Poem” by Alberto Miramontes

A woman’s heart

Might have hope

Grave friends crying

Looking broken-hearted

Miserable

Better spirits seem almost impossible

Man will save no one

My dear girl alone, ashamed

Strangers shocked.

“A Woman’s Heart” by Melanie Garcia

A woman’s heart

A free man

Hope, duty

Strong and very grave

Happy, friend

Crying

Poor fellow whose

Honesty lead to

Broken-heartedness

A moment, miserable

Spirit, American

So young and so fresh

Impossible

Sympathize with

Dangerous cowards

Save us from fears

Stories

Alone, shame

Slang. Strangers with

Exquisite manners

Amused and shocked
