Falling
indomitable,
but so naive;
They told me that they wanted the best for me,
they asked me to believe them,
so I did.
Seraphic voices
taught me I’d be nothing without them
only a blank page,
only a waste of space
So I swallowed my pride
and accepted what I was taught to believe
the voices in my head were relentless
Ambitious as ever,
I raised my voice
but they were quick to hush me
I was told to follow,
to step down from my pedestal;
No one likes raw, uncensored words,
So I did as I was taught.
Escape
Beatific at first
but now so warped,
distorted
blurry figures in my peripheral vision
threatening to leave when I needed them most;
My precious voices
I held on
oh, so dearly
the creator of my own catastrophe,
I built my own cage.
Blissful with them
Miserable without;
Despised for my piousness,
I set myself on fire
for their comic relief.
Struggling to breathe
I was told I could have the world
but not the truth,
never the truth;
There is no escape.

" That's just me "
You’ll hear her say
" I am lesser than beautiful "
I refuse to believe that
I am of worth
What exactly am I?
A courageous soul who is unapologetically herself
Well, the truth is
I look in the mirror to only see
My reflections disappoint
No longer can I say that
My beauty radiates from within
now read from bottom to top

A petal for every word of hate,
for every mark of pain,
for every drop of blood you shed,
and for every broken promise
because you deserve all the happiness in the world
and you should have
grown up so loved
and so protected

The universe
and all its stars
are nothing
compared to the joy
you bring me
I wish I could make you understand
I wish I could make you see,
how happy you make me
and
I wish I could make you happy as well
I know I can't
But please let me try
