15/F/Ohio PUBLISHING! DETAILS SOON!! poetry says the words i am afraid to speak out loud. (please never be afraid to give me suggestions!!)
there is no way to be flawless, i will never get a 100 on each assignment i do, i will look my best each day, my words will not always come out correctly, my emotions will not always be predictable. however, there will always be that ringing in my ears, to work until i fall asleep, cheat on tests, try on twenty different outfits each morning, straighten my hair until it burns, i will rehearse my words many times until they spill, and i no longer show how i feel

perfectionism
the wind blows against the windows, creating a hollow sound of magic, just outside. the green leaves and plants, lighting up the world, like something out of a movie. the bees buzz, so do the fly's, constantly buzz around your ears, all sounds so irritating in the summer, but the sounds you miss the most during the white winter nights

Summer Magic
does it leave a taste on your tongue? the bitterness of your lies, and the sting of the words you would say, like they hadn't hit anyone around you. does it ever pass your mind, or even occur to you how you actions, and the words you spit out, can affect the people in your life around you?

Anger
i knew it was almost over, each text i would send, left untouched. my phone stayed silent, without the sound of your voice, and all of the sudden, my life did, too.

silence, without you
i’ve told my family all about you, i told them how you carried a type of beauty they’ve never seen, and how you never failed to make me laugh, how often i spoke about you, i’m sure it had driven them insane. my favorite thing to share, was about your heart. i spoke about the way you loved with such depth and the kindness you carried for all, even if you were hurting. you had such a large heart, and you used it to help others, even when you didn't realize. but what i personally didn’t realize, was that your heart could hold more than just me, and slowly, it carried us to the end, leaving me on my own.

too large of a heart
by each word you spoke, you had me wrapped around your heart. by each breath you took in, you replaced the rigid air with stillness by each second spent with you, you made my world lighter than before.

kept
snowflakes fell around our bodies, our feet crunched above the coat of white on the ground, cheeks redden from the chill air, and by the presence of each other near. the only way to stay warm, to stay close, in the early morning of december.

staying warm, together
they tell you not to talk to strangers, then make apps and websites, to communicate with strangers from all around the world, and make excuses, "it helps meet new people", when all it does, is put young girls and young boys in danger, when they meet someone online, who is ironically the same age, and have the same interests, and they talk for hours, maybe even meet up behind their parents backs, and they would never know, if that was the last time, they would be safe again.

"Stranger Danger"
she lays in her bed, in the darkened room, and no matter how many times her mother tells her, "get out of bed, turn on a light, this isn't healthy, I'm worried about you", she stays in bed, she wipes the mascara from underneath her eyes, telling her mother shes fine, "I'm just tired", but deep down, they both know, it isn't the fact shes tired..

dark room
Before I knew the world, I knew you, And you knew me. From first breaths, You taught me the things I needed in life, Like how to count and how to say my abc’s. Then as I grew with you, You taught me how to be a good person, How to be kind to people, And how to love with my full heart. And now at the young age of fifteen, I feel as though I wouldn't be who anything close to who I am today, If I didn’t have you by my side. You shaped me into the person I am, Not only by my features and similar look, But by who I am inside And I wish I could find a way to thank you, Or to at least, Put into words how much it means to me. I just want you to know, Although I don't say it enough, i appreciate you, More than you will ever know, And no matter how many years go by, I always will.
