American Everything I write sounds cheesy / / http://teeenagehermit.tumblr.com/
I am not my body. The width of my arms do not translate how big my soul is. I may look like a twig fallen from Charlie Brown's Christmas tree But inside, I'm a galaxy expanding like space itself. You are not your body. You are not your concrete imperfections. Nothing physical could ever represent your true appearance. The next time that you're with someone, Close your eyes and look at them. And see their true form in your mind.

I Am Not My Body
The garbage that you throw away from your home Is just moved to a more innocent creature's home Because the fact is Everyone is guilty We're all helplessly killing Ruining the earth one plastic bag at a time So tell me Was that package of chips really worth it?

Mother Nature has a way of helping all of her beautiful creatures She offers chamomile for when your mind is keeping you from sleeping Passion flower for your constant worries and woes Coffee to keep your eyes open Ginko biloba for when you fail to remember St John’s Wort for the melancholy that you can’t shake Lavender for your head’s physical pains Ginger for those cramps that seem paralyzing Feverfew to relieve you when you’re overheated Cannabis to escape all that troubles you Mint for your when your stomach upsets you Mother Nature’s healing powers should never be overlooked She will tend to your wounds Internal or external Because Mother Nature cares for you And you should care for her too

Mother Nature Cares
If I became blind, I would still be able to envision the wonders of the world in my dreams. But after I wake up, I would no longer be able to see this nightmare of a world around me.

If I Became Blind
At this moment, you could be breathing in particles from another galaxy. Foreign bodies flowing through your body like tiny meteor showers. Bacteria marvel at the minuscule asteroids in your lungs. Cosmic dust could be the annoyance in your eye, Or the dirt under your finger nails. The truth is, We all have the universe within us. Just like the universe has all of us within in it.

Cosmic Dust
Endless streams of chemicals pumped into my veins For the white coats, I was simply an experiment. Prozac, Lexapro, and Wellbutrin Every one of them failed to help. But that's when I realized, That you are the only remedy I could ever need.

The Only Remedy
Let’s go on an adventure together I want to get lost with someone. When I‘m in your company, everything is better We could walk in circles, and I’d still have fun We could get lost in a familiar place It doesn't matter to me As long as I can see a friend’s face When I’m not on my own, I’m as happy as can be My mind is a puzzle You, my friend, are my missing piece Without you, the rain will drizzle With you, the rain will cease We can run away for a while Leave our worries in the dark cells we call our rooms I’ll look at you and smile We’ll forget about our inevitable dooms Let’s lie underneath the breathtaking night sky Look for shooting stars And wish for our troubles to pass us by So together, we can break free from our iron bars
