When you read closely, / Those tiny words between my lines. / Maybe you'll read / The story of my life...
Sweaty palms Nervous laughs That's where you find love Looking when they aren't Turning blushing when they look back That's where you find love Love should not be mistaken Our society has condemned us Our love it has taken Know what they stole Take it back Choose to be true That is when you'll find love

Our love was taken
You touched me I cried You apologized I lied Read my mind Know what's right I'll fight you off You won't lay a hand on me tonight

Not tonight
It's a sad life if you can't believe Believe in those things that you can't see So have faith, my dear That not everything is as it seems

Pretty little dolls With their makeup on and their clothes just right I once was a pretty little doll. I wore my makeup. Had my pretty clothes and my hair done nice. But I was still never liked. No no. Never an ideal, Society didn't want to play with me I was not to their standard still I was looked down on by Barbie. She was the pretty little doll I could never seem to be. ... I don't want to play dolls anymore.

Pretty little dolls
A poem shows how I feel Expresses me So why are there words on this page? I'm writing to express a blank page. Words growing across a barren plane. Thoughts forced through an empty mind.

A bacteria A Virus Sickness Illness It comes at you you don't expect it Something so small Invisible Keeps you from living Yet we still don't believe Depression is a sickness But something so small it can't be seen Is slowly killing me I can't leave bed I can't focus I can't unfocus And it gradually Painfully Makes me smaller Shrinking Until I too am just a bacteria A small Invisible Nothing Infectious and causing no good

The depression virus
A shower to wash you off Water to wipe the tears Steam to cloud your memory A shower is the remedy

The choice
Yin and yang The dark and the light The good and the bad Dusk and dawn The gray. The in between. The undefined. You can explain to me The right and the wrong. But tell me What about the gray?

The gray
We fought for hours You bought me flowers I never asked for diamonds I didn't ask for much... I got them anyway... But you still didn't stay. So now the roses are dying You're baby is crying But where are you now? Does she listen to you scream? Are you everything she dreamed of? Do you buy her flowers? Or give her diamonds? Tell her she's everything, Did you tell her about me? And how... The roses are dead your baby got no dad You left us all alone And I'm stronger on my own.
