I’ll flip the pillow over when I have company or leave it. If she laughs she might be a keeper. Obvious too late for you 😂 your in a relationship. Merry Christmas Nicole
Phew. The sheer rhyme is truly impeccable. Drips with contempt. Eats you alive. I noticed the theme of iron (forged, cast) weaves through as if branding such scripture to our souls.
Ahh! When I first read it my head went angry rapper styles. But now I re-read it and listened to the song you made, and realized its power. It softened it for me.
So call me moody, haha! Either way, you produce bold beautiful art. :) <3
Your poetry is so good Nicole and it gets better and better every week. Love how you subverted “bitch” here into something created that then turns on its creators.
Thank you, Elijah! That's the whole point ahah. No one wants to be permanently triggered, but it's good to know what happens if one pushed THAT button. :) 🤗
I really love poetry that doesn't hide behind its words. You say what you mean but it's still beautifully creative and poetic. There's no hiding behind "bitch." Beautiful. Really moving. Remindrd me of "Build a Bitch" by Bella Poatch – part of my YT playlist called The Weirdness ...
This is how they divide us. It’s not theirs to give. It’s earned. “The bitch” is a tribute to that camaraderie! A united front of healed women! 🫡
Yes, Meera! It's earned indeed. I'd say it's a protective tool more than just a permanent state. Thank you!
This is why we are friends. I like this about you. I hope you are having a wonderful Christmas.
Thank you, Leo! Some things come out at Christmas 🎄
I really like that energy your putting out, it’s kind of hot. 😂
Anything is hot to you bahahaha. But I like my energy too! :P
That’s what you told me to say, it’s the best line I’ve ever needed.
Ikikik, but I have seen your pillow. It's too late for me.

Merry Christmas, Leo and Pinky! 🤗🎄
I hope you are having a great time.
I truly appreciated reading this. It means a lot to me because it resonated so much and it made me feel seen as a woman. Excellent poetry excellent!
Dorie, it's not always we feel this way, but it's ours to dress with if we want to. Thank you for wearing it a bit!
It’s true most times we are forced into a corner and then we do what we must to keep our boundaries and selves intact.
The singing, lyrics, and layout of the song blew me away. You’re extremely talented!!
Thank you so much, Moe!
Love it! And the song is 🔥
Thank you, Mark!
Nicole, I love the way you sweep the world up and take it apart, piece by piece. I hope your courage inspires many voices from now on.
Thank you for understanding the process, Phoeby! We got to find a way to own our flaws as what they are when used well: weapons. :)
Phew. The sheer rhyme is truly impeccable. Drips with contempt. Eats you alive. I noticed the theme of iron (forged, cast) weaves through as if branding such scripture to our souls.
Thank you, Gub! Contempt it is! :)

Say it like it is.
Thank you, Maria!
Learning to own my voice felt just like your forge of “Bitch.”
“My Accountability Partner” often reminds me that claiming space isn’t arrogance, it’s necessary.
How do you keep that fire without dimming it for the world around you?
Thank you, Frank! It's OK if it dims, what's important is to start when needed.

Thank you, Saif! learned from the best! :) 🤗
This is amazing I love every single line in it. It resonates.
So thrilled you liked it! Thank you for rebelling with me a minute! ✨️
Wow I love this
If reducing yourself and letting people step all over you is being a bitch then fuck em..
Thank you, Elijah! That's the whole point ahah. No one wants to be permanently triggered, but it's good to know what happens if one pushed THAT button. :) 🤗
Also, love your style and followed! :)
I love this and I love the stand against labels put on us for speaking up and standing strong. Means so much and thank you for your voice🐦⬛
Thank you! 🤗 We all do a bit of what we can.

Oh that's excellent, I saved it too. Thank you, Darby, for the kind comment, reading my non-Christmassy outburst AND for the song 🎵!
