What is considered real in our world?
People have so many different beliefs
Some things are real to some people
And merely a myth to others
So what is real?
Is god real?
Is science real?
Are you real?
Am I real?
The truth is
“Real”
Is only what we believe to be real
What we feel
What we see
What we hear
And most importantly
What we think
So
Is “real”
Real?

Yes, you
I see you've stumbled upon my poem
This is just a reminder
That you're beautiful
And amazing
And if you ever need someone to talk to
I'm here for you
Sincerely,
Your friend

It’s not easy to be strong
It’s easy to be weak
But we all want to be strong
And we all want easy
So which do we choose?
To work hard
Train hard
Choose hard
Or
To be easy
Do easy
Choose easy
There’s no in between

“If I didn’t force you to do it you wouldn’t have gotten these medals”
If you didn’t force me to do it I wouldn’t have gotten these medals
“These aren’t accomplishments”
These aren’t accomplishments
“You don’t have any accomplishments”
I don’t have any accomplishments
“If it weren’t for me, you would have nothing”
If it weren’t for you, I would have nothing
“You should thank me”
I should thank you
No
If you didn’t force me to do it, I wouldn’t have done it
But I did do it
And those medals are mine
My accomplishments
I don’t care if 4th place isn’t good enough for you
I don’t care if you don’t think they’re accomplishments
Because I know they are
They are mine
Not yours
And maybe I should thank you
For making me realize
I don’t need your approval
Maybe I should thank you
For making me realize
I was being brainwashed
To think I’m worthless
Because now I know

She wakes up each morning
Looks in the mirror
…
She puts an oversized hoodie over
Straightens her hair
Like every other girl in her school
Oh no
She burns her finger
Covers her imperfections
With powders
That suffocate her skin
Coats her eyelashes
With sticky black goop
That crusts when it dries
Her mother calls her down for breakfast
“I’m not hungry”
She says
She hasn’t been hungry for two weeks
You know what they say
Beauty is pain
She goes to school
Why is everyone else so skinny?
And beautiful?
And perfect?
She wishes she were them
But what she doesn’t know
Is that
Those skinny, beautiful, perfect girls
Wishes they were her

What do I have to do
For you
To feel like
I’m good enough?
Why
Do I have to
Prove
To you
My worth?
Who are you to judge?
Why am I still striving for your approval?
When I know
The truth is
I will never be good enough
In your eyes
But in mine
I am good enough
…
Just
The kind of good enough
That can be better
The kind of good enough
That isn’t
As good as other people
The kind of good enough
That isn’t
Good enough

i am a small seed
with so much potential
so much possibility
i could grow to become a beautiful flower
or a ****
what if I can be both
both
a beautiful flower
and
a ****
why would you want to be a ****
you may ask
i want to be the rarest, most beautiful flower there is
you may say
i want to be like a ****
because no matter how hard people try to destroy them
the weeds will stay strong
keep growing
keep flourishing
and that’s exactly what I strive to be
flowers are so beautiful
yet delicate
they fall apart so easily
but it is ok
because as long as if
they bring joy to someone’s life
even for just a second
as long as if I
can bring joy to someone’s life
it is ok
i want to be like a dandelion
a flower
and a ****

do you really love me
do you really need me
do you really want me
i doubt it
because
you have this tendency
to only talk about yourself
you have this tendency
to leave me for someone else
do you really love me?
because it seems like you only love yourself.

freckles splattered across your face like constellations in the night sky
earrings sparkling when the sun hits it just right
hands ruffling your hair after a swim
diving in knowing you're going to win
racing everyone in front of you and beating them
receiving your medals one by one
knowing that there are many more to come
aura of confidence making you glow
you truly are my diego
