American There's nothing special about me. I like to curl up to movies under blankets and laugh about them with my mother, I like the scent of rain, and the sounds of pages flipping as I read a book and nothing else. I am not a happy girl. But I don't think any teenager is, at a lot of times. But I try.
My mom always told me Listen to the voice That screams Reason And not the one That whispers sweet Nothings .

Stop and Listen. ***** smelling the flowers.
Two years old. And she has a gap-toothed grin. And bright eyes that could light up the world. A giggle that could warm anyone's heart. Seven years. And she has fits. She doesn't get along with the other children. She says they don't like her and pick on her. But really, she pushes them away. They wouldn't understand... Eleven years. She keeps to herself now. She can't trust anyone. They wouldn't understand. She belonged alone. Thirteen. Her first kiss. Her first boyfriend. Her first breakup. Her spiral begun downwards. Sixteen. She has loved. Loved with all of her heart. And she has been broken. Perhaps beyond repair. But she knows that she is broken. Tomorrow. Tomorrow that girl turns Seventeen. And that girl is scared. Scared to death of what the next years would bring. Seventeen. Growing up is not what it's cracked up to be.

Seventeen
I am nothing but a whisper The soft pitter pattering of rain I am the thing you don't think twice about Or at all I am just there A soft wind that blows your hair back I am always there Watching But you don't see me And I watch as autumn makes you smile And as you take her hand in yours And brush your lips across hers And I am always there Watching But you don't see me And I wish I didn't see you But I'm glad you're happy That soft breeze that blew in through the window This morning? That was me Wishing you a good morning And a good life as I let go.
