American I'm young and growing so my writing is an extension of that. I just want to write something honest that others can feel.
I miss the skin of my youth Covered in freckles and dirt My hair Free and tangled and long My nails Ripped and plain My eyes Curious and bright My lips Cracked and honest I miss the smile of my youth Brilliant and simple and real

The Skin of My Youth
There is a girl inside of me And she is beautiful A kind of beautiful that scares me That only shows itself in the right shades of darkness Face, round with innocence Lips, plump with truth Skin like glass, so nothing is hidden Even her weakness I love her But she is too delicate to love The soft words cut her Into reflective little pieces

Her
Every instant comes before us in a rush Every moment is a spark in the sky The possibilities, so vastly infinite I no longer can ignore that your life Is tied to mine A small red string connects us Weaving through time and windows Across streets and stars To loop around our wrists Always tugging A destiny neither can deny A moment, unrepeatable and endless To forever echo in my mind A temporary magic Our existences collide

Sometimes I cry Not because I'm sad but because I can't take this Sometimes I smile Not because I'm happy but because I'm tired Sometimes I yell Not because I'm angry but because I'm losing you Sometimes I laugh Not because it's funny but because I've got nothing else Then sometimes I think Not because I'm wondering but because I already know the truth
