these are terrible, I'm working on it
"I can't focus" We all can't focus Stuck in a cardboard box Trapped in these rooms with iron locks No escape No way out Running away will only lead to failure Stuck in a dead end job So you better stick with it! No getting out of it now! Work hard for 4 years So you can work hard for 4(+) more years So you can work hard for the rest of your life Ok! Sounds good! And you wonder why we're so stressed Why we can't focus? It's the same thing over and over And that seems extremely bogus

Ugh I feel so stupid "Why" he says Why? Why? Because your this gorgeous guy and I'm just an ugly damsel in distress You're so chill And I think so much I can't keep anything straight You're so hot I'm so not And worst of all is I know you're gonna break my heart

I'm the one with "The good personality" Ok looking Average intelligence Ok *** Nothing like the girls you prefer The one with the "good personality" I use my personality as an excuse for my purpose Why should you like me Well um.. I have a good personality? 'Good' personality I have my flaws I'm not perfect But I'm good Well, not good enough for you But good just the same I suppose None of that matters though The only one I'm trying to impress is you I'm clinging to you "Please give me a purpose" I have a good personality And I hope that's enough for you

Good personality
I said goodnight And you said it back The words almost rolled off my tounge "I love you" But I stopped them Like a barricade for my words Because I knew You wouldn't say them back

Goodnight
I'm so foolish Talking about "love" I have no ******* clue what love is All I have is bits and peices Compiled from 80's movies And romance novels I could look up the definition I could take from other's experiences But I'll never really know Until I experience it first hand And do I even want to? All I truly know about love is that It always seems to end in heartbreak

I don't swear
You know those movies? There's always a savior, a messiah of some kind Everyone thinks that they would be that person The person who saves the world Or gets the girl Or has that special gift But I've faced reality That's not me I'm Nothing extraordinary It's sad I suppose I'll never be the Katniss Everdeen Or the Superwoman Or anything but me But I can always try I'll just wait and see

(Extra)ordinary
It's always been this way Behind the curtain When I'd really rather be the starring role Dark as the shadow that's cast over me I feel incomplete But how can I compete? It's always been this way Since the little boy in second grade It's always her Why wouldn't it be? Who would pick me? The whole world is screaming pick Her! It's always been this way I can't remember a time that It hasn't Since she got asked to dance and I didn't Since she got hot And I'm still....not It's ok I guess It's always been this way I wonder if this will ever change Will I ever stop comparing myself Will anyone really take me Over her? Well it hasn't happened yet It's always been this way

It's 12:07am and I'm thinking about you The way you ran your fingers through my hair The way your eyes lit up at the sight of something beautiful The way your silk lips met mine, just barely touching the surface Then diving right in Like a child visiting a pool on the first day of summer The way you looked into my eyes and told me "it's all gonna be ok" The way our bodies fit together so perfectly you'd think we were made for eachother And I envy the readers of this poem Because you are most likely thinking of a person right now that made you feel this way The person that made you feel alive The person that gave you a purpose The person that made you feel safe You see, I really have no person at all Just a figment of my imagination A predisposition of what love must be like But alas I don't have a person I am sitting as the world spins As people fall in and of love It's 12:07 and I'm thinking of "you"
