Lust,
Hate,
Coveting.
Fighting the Devil for the purity of my soul.

TV,
Music,
Books.
Lust is made easy for a 17-year-old girl.

Family,
Friends,
Myself.
It's easy to hate someone when you think they betrayed you.

Sweet boyfriends who never make mistakes,
Loving family,
Cutest clothes.
Wanting the things you know you can't have but your friends do.

Faith,
Trust,
Hope.
Knowing deep down the Devil has a hold on your soul.

Low self-esteem,
Low self-respect,
No self-worth.
Knowing you deserve better, but don't feel you do.

Models
Magazines,
Media.
Showing you what you should look like instead of making you feel good about what you do look like.

Guys,
Acne,
Internal Demons.
Making it easier to think low about yourself rather than high.

Rejection,
Self-image,
Weight.
Putting yourself down because of how you view yourself.

Wishing,
Hoping,
Praying.
Needing a hero to show up on his white horse and whisk you away.

Birthday candles,
Shooting stars,
Dream catcher.
Wishing for that perfect guy to come along and sweep you off your feet like Cinderella.

Dreams,
Anticipation,
Aspiration.
Hoping to finally have what your friends always swoon over.

The Alter,
Imploration,
Begging.
Praying God sends you an Angel while your heart is still mendable.

Peer pressure,
Sex,
Drugs,
Alcohol,
Stress,
Love,
Hate,
Lust-
The sins of a teenager who doesn't know herself, but is fighting to find herself.
