American "And men said that the blood of the stars flowed in her veins." / - C.S. Lewis
Living in fear and constant humiliation Worrying about more than cleaning and organization The pills are becoming dull Everything is becoming worse, people becoming more cruel She prays and prays for the pain to go away But with tears in her eyes, she can't help but say " I live in a small box and no one can get in. How can I help myself when I don't even know where to begin?" People mock and claim to suffer but they don't know how much it crushes her She wants to live in a world where she can be "normal" but instead she lives where obsessions are forceful She will over come it, everyone agrees She will eventually have internal peace She will be happy, she will never cry herself to sleep again but for now, she ends her prayers for strength with amen

Obsessions
You are the wave of the ocean and I am the grain of the sand No matter how hard I try you always pull me back in You leave me breathless and with weak arms How am I to breathe when my lungs are filled with you You take over my body and leave my mind ashore I am senseless and confused but whole in your arms You see I'm hopelessly yours and you'll never be mine For you are the ocean and I am nothing but a drizzle of rain.

What Am I To Do
We live in a generation where being alike is expected Where following each others ways and believing each other's God is assumed Our generation raises us to be perfect people too bad perfect people don't exist They raise us to be intelligent and successful Beautiful and polite Straight and homophobic Skinny and athletic Good with words but never to speak They raise us with the aspiration of perfection This generation is so narrow minded and scared of people being themselves They are scared of being unique They are scared of letting people live their own lives They are scared to accept others for who they are Many fall under the influence of this generation, but I will never I will be unique I will never be perfect I will never be like someone else until the day all of our fingerprints are the same

Fingerprint.
Hold your breathe. Stop there. **** in. Rely on air. Don't eat. Watch your weight. Be quiet. Don't stay up late. Drink you water. Wash your face. Shut up. Don't be a disgrace. Don't smile at him! Do you know who he is? Like a man who knows where his money is. Shoulders back. Head up high. Cross your legs and be polite. Oh my! You gained a pound, you're going in a diet. Always read, never write. Those words you express are never right. Stop crying. Your makeup is ruined. Stop now. I can feel the trouble brewing. Stop being who you are. Be who I said to be. Why do you insist on messing up? Listen to me! Thank goodness, you finally gave up. Don't be you, listen to society! My dears, these razors are not for wrists but for your legs. Why would I use them there when I rather be dead?

Girls
You walked away and with every bold step Every bone is my body screamed don't go In that instant, I wanted to wrap my arms around you To keep you safe To reassure you that I love you and that you are perfect and graceful and worth my time and worth the fights and worth the nights I cried myself to sleep and worth everything I have ever owned and will ever own I wanted to feel you hold on to me as if I'm the only support system you have while being forced into a vortex But it seems you found the vortex as a place of acceptance because you left me for that black hole that leads to no where It hurts because I know I have you in my heart but I want you in my arms I want you in my life, but it seems you rather be in space You rather be blind in a vortex You rather live among the stars than live in my life You rather be far away from me but  I can't blame you While you are soaring the stars and dancing in galaxies Just now while you are trying to obtain the world You will always be my universe

Galaxies
Ever since the beginning, I knew that you were different You stood in a way no one else was capable of You were fragile and graceful and so clear I could tell everything about you in one glance But oh you were so beautiful to look at. You shined and glistened and reflected answers towards me with all I could ever ask about In some ways, you were like glass If I could drink all of your sorrows away I would I would take the fears and worries out of your glass body and swallow into mine I would fill you with what you needed I would fill you with joy and courage and love for yourself But while pouring these much needed liquids, you broke You shattered You fell You are gone Every day after that I have been forced to explain to everyone about how you broke and I know that if you were still fragile and shining you would be disappointed in me In fact, I'm disappointed in myself I should have emptied myself out like I planned to do with you and fill myself with those important liquids I wish I had joy I wish I had courage I wished I loved myself but that is hard to do because I have the memories of the day i broke you

Looking Glass
You say it so quickly, without any hesitation or realization of the pain you have caused You say it with all seriousness and so much ignorance It's as if you have no knowledge of the way that word rolls of your tongue as a rain drop does on a shingle of a house That one single word gives me chills that begins in my toes and runs through my body like an electric current The electricity might as well be anger also because that too is surging Do you have any idea what you are even doing? You say it with all of your loose minded friends who too suffer from ignorance People like you make it hard to live in this world Its people like you that cause sufferers of your ignorance to begin wars to begin segregation to feel hated to feel lost to feel depression to end their lives It is people like you, even the ones sitting in this very rooms, who have caused many people to die It is people like you who will never truly know what the term "gay" means

Insensitive.
She suffers from mental flurries inside her head Questions and worry keep her awake in bed Looks that paralyze, statements that can make you numb People don't realize the habits she can overcome Wishing for an end of this unreasonable pain Causing tears that fall like rain Tears like crystals, concealing the hurt she suffers Standing for herself relating to no other Obsessions that **** her slowly with nothing to hide With everything lost, her hope never died Shes stands with a strong will and courage to shed Nothing can stop her, not even the questions and worry inside her head

Suffering.
Overturned futures, using dark rooms as comfort Flooding tears and always thinking of others Letting people put their doubts, troubles, and fears in my weak hands Allowing me to make their changes for their sake of living Making me change their future I heal their relationships with words held back Only to watch them fall apart with one little action I build up these mansions of friendship and trust Only to let them be destroyed with one wrong look I pray and wait for the day that my so called best friends realize the impact they are making on my life They make me smile and laugh everyday with their grateful presence But at home with these little snaps and messages lead me to tears and making my family angry I know they do none of these on purpose because they care about my well being and they know I do this for them because I care about them too I love being able to change their thoughts about life and make them happy But I am tired of being the only one who tries Some times I feel like I am surrounded by people who feast off of attention They all have their way of making others come my way One who is full of opinions and thoughts always tends to be outspoken and damages some one else One who is full of need. She too feasts off the attention and needs eyes on her at all times. One who wears a tough persona but also puts her feelings as clothing. One who is tired. One who is weak. One who is trying to fix the world. One who is doing one of the sort. One who is completely messed up. One who needs as much helps as she gives. I rant and fill your heads with opinions, but in complete honesty. I am the only one who is making my life a living hell.

Visions of blurs, these moments happened fast But everything is remembered, everything was made to last Blood covered your scarred and helpful hands I wish I could help you, but I can barely stand When your loving arms wrapped around me that night your comfort sank into my skin Just like my tears in your shoulder, we both knew we weren't going to win With every fading tear came every everlasting memory When she had too many and couldn't remember me No lock in the house could hold back your comfort to me You were always there with every shaky sentence I breathed You always had that look in your eyes that no one else could replace It was the look of understanding. I could always see it all over your face You carried me to bed whenever I stood no chance You could tell every emotion inside of me with just one glance But it seems now that when you are the one red eyed and dripping tears I had no words to say even after all these years All I could manage to do was hug you just like you use to do me Maybe you would feel comforted just like I use to be You were always there whenever I felt I couldn't go on You were always there to sing my favorite song You were always there to hold my hand in situations with no light You were always there to whisper good news to me during those terrible nights You are the reason I am strong But what am I going to do when you are gone? I love you more than there are ripples in the sea and without you, I wouldn't be me You dried my tears, hugged all the sadness out of me, and cried with me just because you could If I could choose you to be my big brother again, I would
