My heart is not the same as my brain They have two different functions They hold two different meanings They are both telling me different things My brain explains the good from the bad While the heart says "go for what makes you happy" But my brain doesn't know what that is yet I am still trying to figure that out I suppose this makes me human Just like the blood running through my veins But if that blood escapes from our body, How much do we have to lose until we're no longer human?

The Battle
Do you think the same? I would like to say you do but who knows? You're dead.

Dead To Me (Haiku)
I hate the kind of cry That you only know is there Once it hits your cheeks. So into your thoughts You don't realize the salty tears Coming down... all the way down. I let the liquid find its way to my chest It reaches my heart and then I remember why I'm crying You. You both. All of you. Everyone.

It's all because of you.
No one is here I am going to sink Does anyone see me asking for help? No one is here I am going to crash Does anyone see a way out of here? No one is here I am going to yell Does anyone know where my voice went? No one is here I am going to do it

No One
Oh no Not again Please don't let this happen again I can't take the stress I can't take the choosing Is this right or is this wrong? I feel a litte bit of both but I just can't stop Am I a bad person? Or a good person stuck in a bad situation?

Stuck
There are very few things in our world That we have a choice with From the color of our cars, To our best friends. But if someone tries to take that right Away from our tiny grasp What's the point of the being your own person? What's the point of having a brain of your own? What's the point of even thinking about it? What's the point?

What's the point?
There are some things I’d like to ask To this body of mine Do you like the way you look? Or would you rather fix your flaws? No bodies are perfect But it seems that way for some For yours have so many imperfections Or though it might seem so To my body: I don’t like the way your thighs don’t touch I don’t like the way your stomach’s not flat If models aren’t the way you are, Why would boys desire to have you? I wish they could see what’s beneath your looks Because if so they might look twice But no one ever cares enough To see what’s good down deep inside So to my body I ask; will you change for their demands? I think you’re better just being yourself If they can see what’s in your heart That should be enough for anyone, especially you

To my body:
The question I ask the most is why Because it answers all. Why does sadness begin with “Bye”? Why does it hurt to feel so small? Being as curious as I am I’d like to think of myself as smart But what if this is all a scam? Is thinking considered a type of art? If it is, I’m quite the artist Because I think all the time Do you think that you’re the smartest? Is thinking you are such a crime? Why does life have to be so hard? Why do questions not have answers? Some of these issues you can’t discard Like are we humans or are we dancers?

~Why~
If you're in a place you don't like You think it's dark It's dark and scary Well stop thinking you're alone People like you, who feel this way Think it's only them Who are on the verge of exploding Exploding with anger Bursting with saddness Overcome with emotion Trust me It's not only you There are others People you don't expect People who you think are happy They're usually the worst of them all So you're not alone Have trust in yourself Once you overcome this eternal saddness It's a wonderful world It seems so bright and full of color After all, The existence of the dark makes us appreciate the light.

You are not alone. Trust me.
I miss the look Of sun kissed skin, The feel of the ocean, Your subtle grin The way your hand Brushed up mine Made my heart skip a beat Like the end of time I feel like my world Is crumbling down No way to put it You're better off now The looks are awkward I am confused We were so close But now I feel used I wish to go back To a simpler time When the sun beat down And you were still mine
