Just a girl with the mind of a man
White man said it is time to be the best. Be the best, that's funny. He says "we need to make this country great again" White man said to grow the economy for the people. But when he says "people" he means the whites And by "economy" me means opportunity. Oh the racism that grows in this country. Oh the rage and hatred that continues to build from other countries, races, cultures, ethnic groups. But the white man said we will solve this problems with bombs. What he meant was our military vs. their innocent citizens. White man said we need things more American, I wish there was actually an explanation for what that means anymore. America: the land of opportunity...for the white man

White man said America
Those couples on TV That never look like they would be together End up being together season after season Laughing and crying Loving and loopy Late nights and early mornings Sarcasm and seriousness Give a helping hand when it's needed Look back laughing about the times they messed up But never letting it hurt what really matters. That's my life. That's my long distance sitcom

Long distance sitcom
Rivers are wet Dams are hard. Dams slow and block rivers. Everyone knows BUT Other times Dams make the rivers flow and flow. It doesn't take much to to evoke a dam Once its raised There is no way of stopping the course But who would want to stop it anyways? Night after night Day after day river keeps the dam working. dam keeps the river flowing. Never running dry Never growing weak but occasionally reaching a peak. This is something very few people see This poem isn't about water and concrete

my pain in 10 words
I hate when I have to tell stories about you people ask how you were I get so fired up every time I have to tell someone I tell them how I was terrified how you would scream and swear at me almost every night but all I ever did was give you everything you ever wanted. night after night I would force myself to keep you happy so you wouldn't yell. I even had to keep it a secret so I wouldn't loose what I now hold so dear to myself. after your "incident" you said it was all out of "love" bull. **** You tried to force me to like the things you like think the way you think basically change everything that I enjoyed and you despised. Any time I hear certain words that you've found funny I immediately tell that person to never say it around me again. Events that you've found "funny" ******* scared me and all you did was laugh. Any time you were ******* left out of any ******* joke you pulled me to the side asking why you were left out. did you ever figure it was because YOU'RE ******* IMMATURE? You said that every girl before me left and never supported you. Maybe they got out of there fast once they realized how you are. Getting away was the absolute best thing I have done but almost everyday I have this small outburst of anger cringing and wanting to tell you to your face how messed up you are. how much you've messed me up. you changed, you changed real bad. everyone is pulling away all because of you **** you little boy blue

what you hear through the walls
I am extremely moody right now I know its going to get worse. I cant control who I yell at I cant control when I cry I cant control what I say I cant control what I hurt I cant control where my life is going the next few months I've started to swear a lot more and get violent with people. I've also started to love a lot more and trust with my heart. I switch moods in a blink of an eye If it was like getting a band aid ripped off I would be fine. But its basically like getting a needle pulled through your body slowly. it wasn't bad at all at first now I just want to sleep so I don't hurt anyone. I just want to stay home so I don't mess anything up. It ***** man. I hate having to move.

I think I would give up the world right now to be able to sketch. These images appear in my head day and night making me want to spend hours on end drawing. Drawing vivid illustrations The ones that constantly replay in my head. I want to be able to see some sort of physical image of me and you. one that makes the heart melt one that is lost for words One that shows what I see what I feel I wish I could explain it. I can't even put it into words. these words don't exist! But I know every single line of every sketch.

Sketching Words
A risk is being able to do what you want even when you know every single consequence. A risk is climbing a latter when its only a rope. A risk is believing in yourself enough to say "I did it!" even when you're only half way there. A risk is ducking in the shadows knowing you'll get caught. A risk is keeping a promise when everyone is doing everything they can to break it. A risk is keeping an open mind while still staying determined. A risk is NOT waking up everyday and saying "I can and will do this". That is determination Determination is waking up every single day and saying "I was meant to do this"
