Dancing on the floor
Singing cheerful songs
The world rotates for each movement that is made
Stained in vibrant hue are the lights that illuminate the room
I try to calm down.
This is fine.
I'm fine.
"Don't be sad," she says.
I'm not sad.
I'm scared.
Frustrated.
Confused.
She doesn't listen.
Dear April-man,
Do you know
Why
April is the cruelest month?
I do.
Because it is when you took me
In your arms
In your bed
And I let you.
I let you.
You pick the pieces
out of my heart
And throw them away
without a second thought
I drink of romance
Carrying me today
for your smile
faked as a common
manipulation
I am afraid
Of you?
of course not.
Of me
I am afraid
That I will possess you
and not just caress you.
Who am I to think
That you are mine
And noone elses,
She's been trying
That's what they say
She won't make it
Not today
she's a failure
It's no surprise
With all these looks of demonize
But no she's a civil fighter
You don't hear about the times I rejected my friends,
In fact brothers, for time with my mother
And family
But you still question my loyalty, question my trust.
How can you think all I see is dust?
One fine day in village keep
A boy so young and free,
Went out into the forest deep
To play amongst the trees.
And when he cried out "wolf!" if sacred
The people came to aid,
Love has infinite Definitions
I shouldn't have to wait
for your Permission
to love or Be Loved,
I'll be out of your hair
soon,
you won't have to care
soon,
I see you through the clear, curved, orange plastic over my eyes
You taste like metal opium
The spoon still stuck between my teeth
Gnaw marks in the handle
From when I tried to swallow it whole, swallow it dry
Every word that I hear,
Is something mean and unclear.
Every child doing this
Hitting with punches and kicks.
What is going on with them?
Why do they alway pretend?
I shouldn't have listened
to what everyone was saying.
I shouldn't have doubted
what I didn't have in writing.
I knew deep down
that they were wrong,
I admire a lot of people.
I admire Ed Sheeran, Gandhi, ... and him.
My classmate so poetic his words can be lethal.
The way he talks is also so prim.
Well-mannered and nice
He told me if I want change I have to be the change.Anything else is insanity.I just wanted four quarters for my dollar.

If a girl hits the floor because she hasn't eaten in three days
But she's still fat
Does she even make a sound?
We see eating disorders and depression and anxiety
Through the fucked up lense of television
What are the boundaries of your mind?
Quite similarly of one’s own confine.
But why would someone of such intelligence,
Waste their brilliant thought with such arrogance?
There's a girl all alone , cold ,hurt , and judged
A teenaged girl all alone , makeup all smudged
From crying and crying , she's crying because
Noone understands the things that she loves
I sit next to you every night and feel the tension.
You still can’t see why I want to be with him,
Why I love him so dearly,
How I could ever be with anyone like him,
And one day, I hope you will.
I am the girl that is permanently stainedThere’s more to sex than giving birth and STDSSometimes if your lucky you’ll still have your prince charming and be a drop dead beauty queen,
I’m just a normal girl
Like any other female you see
But don’t take me too literal
Cause I’m not the type to believe
Believe in what you say
The type of lies you unfold
Because when it comes to love
Remind me why
I try-
I try to please
With mounting ease,
Without ever questioning why;
Remind me why
I’m here again,
Emitting the same cry
So shrill and filled with pain
Sympathetic, I am told my eyes are beautiful and cerulean; although, my emotions are not transparent.
They blend and shift across the parallel planes of my persona into realms of other kinds.
I am a misunderstood girl,
who want to be loved.
I wonder if i'll ever find it.
I hear love songs and feel that
inevitable sense of lose.
I see lovers all around me,
but i hide away from them
