Being empty is a strange feeling Not even prescriptions help. Nothing does. I mourn the Death of my passion. The fire in my head that gave me my edge Has fled.

You Are Not a Number Not Nearly That Simple You are not defined by the weighted or unweighted Or the 2400 You are Not a Shape You are not fat You are not skinny It's only the eyes that can be so petty You are not a Letter You aren't the A or the F You aren't the reports hanging over your head. Or the mark on your forehead. You are not a label You are not simply gay, or simply straight you aren't smart or stupid you are so much more than just the words. You are not what they say When they think you aren't listening You aren't what they think You are not to be put in a box. You are not theirs You aren't the clothes or the attitude If You are afraid of what you are you may allow yourself to become theirs. You Don't Have To. Your life is your choice, the people not so much, But it's better to be who you are, than the person people aren't afraid of. You are who you chose You are who you aren't You are those secret desires you keep in the dark. You are the choices you make You are how you handle life You are how you handle pressure You are the activities you do You are the way you treat others. Most of all, you are you You are the only one inside your head While lonely at times It's also beautiful. You are the only one that sees exactly what you see. You are the only one that thinks how you think. You are who you hate You are who love, You are how you handle the haters You are one of a kind. Don't become anything else.

What Most Don't Know
You are drowning me with your tears Please my girls don't be afraid nobody is dead or maimed nobody should be like this today. You have to worry about the Petty little things. The stupid little things. The useless little things You have to worry about the petty little things Do you really? Does a boy, a grade, really to determine your fate? Please can't you see these are petty little things? I try to help, you, save you, but it's useless if this is what is on your mind. Why does everyone seem to worry about the petty little things? We have roofs over our heads and three meals a day. We have song, and dance, and friendship. With that, we can beat the pressures from the outside. So please help me understand why everything is so petty? I try so hard to help. I do I do I do But I just don't understand. Sometimes I worry I can't fathom what goes on in the teenage mind, even though I am one myself. I can't relate I try I try I try And they just laugh and laugh An awkward little alien sits with them But I just can't relate to petty little things So I'm Sorry. Pretty Little things, Don't be scared of the Petty little things, If you are emotionally evoked by such trivial aspects of life I can't relate. I probably seem dull For I am a person of far much less laughter and tears than I am of an intriguing sense of reality Just please for me, try to remember that I'm trying my best, Your lives aren't over Just give it a rest. Please, Don't let me sink in your emotions.

Since long before I remember, Just through Story I’ve always been an anomaly. The Bird that Prefers Walking The Dyeing tree in the Spring A Mime Who loves talking A choir-girl who won’t sing My thoughts do not come from a common place But from a world full of complications and haste I find no humor in the common air I find no sadness in these normal waters I find no hurt in the common tears When people think cooler, I think hotter. Since I am Not Justified Others are simply Terrified Anomalies ruin common thought So I am shunned to the corner to sit there to rot. While hurt and confusion bring me such tears, I’ve learned to ignore the most potent jeers. It scares me sometimes, why’m i like this? Why I can’t understand their desires, hopes, even their bracelets on their wrists. I’ve never drank from the common fountain and if I were to try, my body would treat it like poison. So I’ll walk this path alone until I find Another anomaly with an open mind Maybe I won’t be the glue without hold. Maybe I’ll be the rock that turns to gold.

Anomaly
You sit there and take pictures of me, The winter air chills our breaths You Laugh. I laugh. I feel a small spark of what I called happiness. It's absolutely freezing. Come on, the high today is nine degrease. But for some reason I don't feel so cold as the Ice blues my skin and snow infests my bones. Your infectious laugh carries over to me. "Uh, Beth, I think I broke the camera!" I know you didn't, of course, but I still rush over. I pity the way I can't stupidly giggle. or be anything resembling a teenage girl. the strange thing is you don't seem to mind. You stand too close as I fix the glitch. You smell like Cinnamon, apples and warmth too bad I'm like the anti-teen so I just stand there awkwardly Your brown eyes capture mine and I resume my duty of fixing the camera You run out of film. I frown. We walk back. We don't talk after that. You do this every month or so, I never expect it I want to Hit myself afterwards. Taunt me, tease me, leave me confused You are another cruel reminder of my living little nightmare. Until Next time, My brown eyed "Friend"

Brown-Eyed "Friend" Part 1 (Until next time)
Please leave me alone Just let me be Your desires are a mystery Just leave. I don't know What you want from me anymore You are a manic depressive cyclone. Stop swinging. I can't see Why you flaunt yourself in front of me. For nothing I want with you can happen in this reality. Stop taunting. If someone told you of my feelings, they are true. But you pass me by and my heart fills with glue. I'm not to be but on a string, and am not here to amuse you. Stop hurting. Sometimes you sound like you want to hear what I say. Or brush your hands against mine and get close enough to stay. Sometimes you even look me in the deep in the eyes and swoop me away. Stop playing. Just leave.

Leave.
A dreary little nightmare On the outside is a dream But the only time there is peace Is when I'm fast asleep. Now that piece is shattered Because this dreary little nightmare keeps waking me. My roses, my sunlight, my flowers, my trees, withered away and died with me. No mater how much they are watered with amphetamines, resurrection is not enough. My nightmare has very small daydreams that die as quickly as they come to spring. My gardens are trampled on by idiotic teens. And no matter how much I try not to feel lonely. I'm in a dead garden, and there's only just me. But the raincloud ahead could bring joy to my fettered limbs. But it's over eight seasons of dryness before. By then I may be too dried up to grow. This is my nightmare, this is my time, this is my trial, but I don't know for what crime. So maybe in the darkest dawn when I see a rose bud grow Ill pick it, but not hit its thorns Paint my spirit with the joys of a new season. But my nightmare has only just begun. I have a long way to go.

Waking sleep.
Light vs. Dark The most cliché idea ever. Light is good. Dark is bad. People who are afraid of questioning love it. It's all Black and white. I'm sorry, but it just can't be true. There wouldn't be dark without light and light without dark So if light exists because of dark and dark exists because of light, they create each other, depend on each other. So how can light be completely good and dark be completely bad? Another point. Humans are often afraid. We like knowledge and instead of being in awe of it, we fear the things we don't know, can't see, hear, taste, feel, or touch. We can see in the light, we can see what is in front of us. That's why we think light is good, because we are not afraid. Darkness, on the other hand, Is scary for humans who depend on what's in front of them but that doesn't mean it's bad. We think up monsters and demons but in reality there could be an angel watching over you in the dark. It's so common for so many of us If there is something we can't see, we go simply crazy.

My Biggest Pet Peeve in Writing
there is nothing worse than a first impression all humans have one, weather you like it or not hell, I have first impressions all the time thing is, while we may have first impressions, it's stupid to trust them with the exclusion of cruelty and hubris, I have found that some of the most amazing people have the most apparent flaws unfortunately that comes with horrendous first impressions it is a huge flaw in human design to judge someone before even getting to know them that's why I usually ignore a first impression, in fact, sometimes I go against my instincts. if you judge someone before you get to know them based on a first glance, you'll regret it. Trust me.

first impressions
I have this desire to save people. My counselor says that's why all my friendships are hard on me. I tend to make friends with people who need saving. You Were No Exception. Grace, Darling Child, Where did you go? You got lost in the crowd and put on a show. I tried to warn you and you listened well but you are very bendable and the others could tell. Grace, My Darling, Why would you lie? I Would give you anything including my life. You really cared for me, you told me so but it was not enough because you just couldn't say no. Grace, My Darling, Why are you gone? You have to stop abusing your mom. I know she messed up but we all do. Oh Please don't let them get to you. Grace, my darling, Why did you let them get get to you? Was it Something I said? What Can I do? I'm the only one who still has hope in you! Grace? Grace, you are gone. He took you as well. The bad man who treats your Mommy like hell. I guess your Daddy just likes his control. And Since you can't say no he has too much hold. Grace, I'm sorry, but this is goodbye. I'm sick of all your little lies. Your Daddy will say awful things about me And while they are false, you are just too naive. Grace, I see the hate in your eyes. I knew this would happen since you live with a demon in disguise. I guess I just have to let you go and remember the great girl you could've been who I'd love to know. Grace, sweet Grace, you stand so far away. There is a demon standing in your place. You are now the type of thing I despise. I hold a funeral in my mind for the girl who could have been kind. Grace, my darling, was I not enough? I feel it's my fault. Did I not show you love? Your ghost will haunt me and put me to shame because you were the girl I could not save.
