Sometimes you need a year or two to grow
I want people to stare at me as I walk by Bow down to me Kiss my feet But they don't because I am just me I want people to put flowers in my hair Hold my hand Lift up my soul But they don't because I am just me I want to be treated like a goddess Dress me in white Red on my lips But I only look like one because I am just me I want someone to look me in the eyes And tell me I am their god But I can't even look them in the eyes I want to live upon my people They are the butterflies I lay around and watch them The garden is my home In the garden no one kisses my feet Or holds my hand Rather I am surrounded by friends We are each other's goddesses The flowers admire me They sit in my hair The butterflies kiss me And stain my lips red

queen me
I lied when I said no one cared about me There are people out there That perhaps care about me too much That it makes me feel suffocated. I lied when I said I loved you I love a lot of people But I know one of those people isn't you Sorry about it. I lied when I said I've always been sad I love life almost every other day But today I wish to hide Not sorry about it.

give me a flower
If you stay true to yourself (meaning always strive to be the best that you can be), then the nature of things will run its course in reflection. There will always be bumps in the road, but it's where you're going that matters. Be the essence of yourself and seeds will be planted. The wind will blow. Clouds will bring rain, and you will grow.

Clouds Will
I know beautiful words in my brain but I don't know how to say them. I dream of changing the world with my actions but I don't know how to do them. I desire an immaculate form of love but I don't know how to find it. I wish to make art for a living but I don't know how to support myself. I want to change someone's life but I don't know how to influence people. It's okay I will continue to sit here and be a useless student. A student who wishes to learn how to make the world love me.

I want to light the world on fire but i dont know how
When I first took my pants off for a boy he did not love me. "Is that all you have to offer?" "I guess you will do." When I first met someone who I thought was my friend, they didn't respect me. "I don't like people like you." "I guess you will do." When I first stripped my hair of its natural color, I did not recognize myself. "Who are you?" "I guess you will do." When my parents found out I was depressed, they looked at me differently. "This isn't the daughter I know." "I guess you will do." When my first boyfriend found out I was suicidal, he dumped me. "Oh you're on the verge of ending your life?" "You certainly won't do!" When you found out I was a lost cause, you accepted me. "You're beautiful with all your scars." "You certainly will do."

girl find people who appreciate u
Leave me alone. I don't like words. Everyone lies. Leave me alone. In a meadow Surrounded by silence. Leave me alone. They won't see me cry I won't try to die. Leave me alone. I only trust myself And my breath Leave me alone The daisies and tulips They might see me cry Leave me alone I will cry I will die.

Situation Countless
Little do you know, how beautiful you are. Your eyes are the stars in the sky that is only mine, You take me to my moon with each glance. Little do you know, how beautiful you are. Your voice is the first song I've ever listened to, You lift me up into my own heaven. Little do you know, how beautiful you are. You make my Christmas feel like the only Christmas, You let me dress in all my favorite hues. Little do you know, how beautiful you are. Your fingers touch my planets in all the right directions, You create a painting on my lips with yours. Little do they know, how good you are. They do not wish me with you, They believe you got rid of my sunshine. Little do they know, how wrong they are. You make my days darker, but my stars brighter, You are my night, you are my universe. Little do you know, how beautiful you are. All my stars are every atom on your body, And I wish to drench myself in it.

your beauty
We both got our hearts broken, But while yours was only stitched up, Mine was a forest that kept getting burned down and replanted, only to get destroyed again.

you (new)
this is too rough of a time for me how am I supposed to live without my father with his words of wisdom, how am I supposed to breathe? Father, oh Father, I told you not to leave, but you did. I mourn with you not here Father, oh Father, why did you go and leave?

father
I bite my tongue when I say this, I'm in love but I don't quite know how to. I don't know how to give someone my heart Do you sit on your hands? Or do you put them around his body? Do you kiss him? Or do you continue wearing red lipstick? But before I jump to conclusion, I should include the fact that He might never look at me that way. Now, in conclusion, I might love him for awhile
