She skips meals, applies layers and layers of make up She drinks things thinking they'll make her smaller She ***** her tummy in, she tries to be perfect She tries to be the idol Her grades are perfect too, and that's nice But she's not comfortable She's not okay with how she looks She thinks she's not pretty So the make up will sort her out She thinks she's fat, but she's not In my eyes she looks perfect She looks perfect without the make up And with her tummy According to me she's thick, not fat She's perfect All the commercial drinks for weight loss are unnecessary, I think I like her just as she is I like who she is when she's with me Because only then she's free to be herself Should I tell her she's perfect one more time? And that whoever likes her, should like her just as she is She's trying to look like the ladies in the magazines but she's not them She's different , she's beautiful And her flaws make her more beautiful I like how her natural hair is ***** But she wants it always straight I like her chocolate skin colour But she wants to be lighter I like how evenly thick she is But she wants the flat tummy I like her as she is And I hope she'll like herself too

Should I?
I'm sorry for liking you For feeling what I feel for you For having you on my mind Always waiting for you to reply my texts And waiting for you to ask when we could meet I'm sorry for what I feel for you For expecting too much from you And for thinking of you so highly I'm sorry I'm sorry cause we're still young Also I don't know what you feel And my expectations are too much I'm sorry

I'm sorry
If you are to leave, let me know not If you shall will to say goodbye, don't Instead, pack your things and leave For I cannot bear the pain of your words And I can only compare them the pain to a stab by a dagger For what we had greatly invested in would be over And moving on would be too hard a task No explanation would befit such cruel an act And no tears would wash away the pain Though I'll still mourn and weep a river If you are to leave my lover, Just pack your things and leave And let me be, let me weep, let me be Just pack your things and leave

Dear lover
She opens the door Her children smile more She's not as strong But she has to move on She has to be strong for her little ones For he left them, they who he was with once He who had promised them the world Was nowhere to be seen She has to be strong She has to be strong For with her strength, she gives her children hope And assures them of a brighter tomorrow

Strength
Well at times I hold my pen And try to compose a poem At times I lack the motivation Something essential in all I do At times I lack something to say I lack something to share But then again I remember something That whatever comes from me is perfect Even my silence,lack of words and motivation Even my mistakes, flaws and issues For what is tomorrow for, if not for a better today And what is life for, if not to bring meaning to other people's lives too

Meaning
He said that blank pages are the hardest to fill,I was silent He said that I’m different, I was silent The reason for my silence? Everything What I wanted, what I felt What I needed, what I lacked and what I had My hopes were sky high, unreachable high My dreams were great, far beyond his understanding My achievements were still few, fewer than what he felt Yet all was fine, or so he thought I thought about it, I analysed it I examined myself about it,tried to be honest about it I then realized that what he felt was blank And what I felt was blank His kind of blank? That which was the hardest to fill due to lack of it My kind of blank? Something I’m still unaware of
