American Life needs more. More than you, more than me. To show what it wants us to see.
You could go to bed and listen to them partying hard Outside smoking joints in the night in the backyard You could complain that their music's too loud Or you could just say **** it and go join the crowd

Midnight
And there is nothing I can do. And they wrap around me And I can't breathe And I throw my head back wailing And I can do nothing. And there is nothing I can do. How can you stand it. How are you so strong. I am proud of you. You are my baby. And you are my friend. And you are my sister. And you are what stop me When they come And I can't do anything to fight them And the song in my head is loud and won't go away And my thoughts torment me. And I think of you And how you fight them everyday And everyday you come out stronger. I'm so proud of you babe. I'll never be as strong Or as brave As you. But by God I'll try.

Dark (For Isabel)
Today's a working day. One of those days you feel like working. When you just want things to look good. When you just want life to look good. So you decide to do something about it. And that something will be working. Because today is a working day. Except then when you start working, You decide you don't feel like it.

Him.
I just looked at something. I mean really looked. It kind of scared me. But a gentle kind of scare. A sighing scare. An anything scare. I looked at a window. Not through a window. But at a window. The sun reflected off of it. It hurt my eyes. Ow. I turned away And then back. There were trees Floating On the surface of the window. The glass was cool And soft. Sweet. I just looked at the water. Really looked. Brow furrowed. Eyes wide. A concentrating stare. Trying to make sense of the ripples and waves. I just looked at myself. Yes, I feel like everyone else sometimes. I am ugly. I am fat. What is wrong with me. But there are the times when I'm not. When I'm exceptional. When I'm Extraordinary. And those are the times When I can feel my eyes smiling I can feel them snake around my round round round round pupils. I can feel the small dimple Only one On the left side of my face Appear. I can see how thin my ankles and wrists are. The ones that make it so Phoebe can fit into NONE of my shoes. (Even though we are the same size) My big feet don't look big. My eyebrows. They are perfect. I love my hands. My fingers and arms. I love that sometimes I smirk and look almost like Emma Watson.

I Really Looked
Today left me with questions Some pretty confusing questions I thought a lot today Tried to answer a lot today I woke up today In a good feeling way I was early Earlier than my parents Which doesn't happen often I felt good today I laughed today A lot With the people I don't normally talk to I worked today Hard And well And I kept trying I played today Outside In the park With my friends With Kenny Langston Nelson Emma Phoebe And I thanked them Just now For being such awesome people And such great friends I laughed today With everyone At everyone I cursed today More than usual It felt good And it was unexpected I rocked today And I'm guessing that'll happen again tomorrow And the next day And I talked today And read today I felt today.

Jude
I'm better now I was sick In the spirit Even Humanities wouldn't fix it Even Daniel Even Shakespeare Even magical umbrellas Then I went away Away with you Up upstate For the weekend Just 3 days And I'm better Stronger And I know it's not good To interrupt But I am And I'm so **** glad.

I'm back.
I could've had a million likes And American Apparel And too many OMGs, and BTWs to count More GORGs, PERFs than money can buy And LMAOs, and STFUs that reach beyond infinity And two katrillion followers And "friends" All of 'em, Even the ones I don't know. What do I have? No American Apparel 2 "friends" 4 likes And never any GORGs And 34 followers But I have more friends than you can count And all of my *** PERFs come from the heart In other forms Like you're so smart You are beautiful Wanna hang out And smiles Eyes that look like snakes Yes, I have no ILYs or IMYs. Instead, I have I love yous And I miss yous. And I am happy. And that is what really matters.
