He wasn't blind ,
knew you needed love
but the thought
of leaving his great life behind
bought him a sense of fright
so he took the first flight
not knowing that
the knight's amour had been broken
but mended by unnamed scars .

growing up i wanted to be thicker
I wished my skin could betray my heart
and hide my bones
in the rise of my cores
that curve slightly
below my waistline and beyond
but no
years were swallowed
in a valley
and around the alley
my body felt hollow .
Now I chase after that smoothie
trying to chase away slight calories.
Frowning at the sight of whipped cream
so my belly will not feel undermined
or disrespected .
my heart grew wider ,
opening up to voices
that told me i was heavy
and guided me to join the course
and lose the cause
and of cause i signed up willingly
allowing my mind to rot .
But not in exhaust
I decreased to taller , lighter
But I could not reach the figure
I could only seethe in magazines
Pageants , I would filter .
But my glitter
Was slightly in need
I needed to let my soul feed .
But I felt inferior
Not because of my weight
But because of the marks now on my waist
The signs
Permanent, can't be erased .
My beauty I would curse
But my body
I did waste
Now I taste the bitter clance
Of regret as it drips from my hand .

I wanted to be heard .
I wanted to be seen .
You said you were scared
To let me go .
So I stayed ,
I whispered ,
But I wished I could shout .
My voice was loud
But only heard by whispers and shadows in the dark
Adults were blinded by their own light .
"I want to be a star "
But like a deaf dog in the dark .
My pleas fell to the floor
And I chose to let go .
I would wonder what you were like ten years ago .
Young , fragile , ambitious like me
Oh I see .
Your dream and hopes
Were squashed and crushed down
In a blink of an eye
Like an insignificant vow
That breaks your soul
So to prevent the loss you shut it up
Before you hear the voice .
I wish you could listen to my choices
Here me when I try .
Read in between the lines .
I said I want to be a star .
But if you don't seem to help me chase my dream
I will be chasing your silhouettes in the dark .
I feel heard when adults are not around
As by this time I would have been far .
