Glue
Alex Jan 2018
I want to glue my eyes shut
So I can't see anymore evil
I want to glue my ears shut
So I can't hear insults thrown at me
I want to glue my mouth shut
So I can trap the words about to escape my mouth
I want to put glue around my heart
So I can stop these emotions

I look at my screen




I can't look away

Legos
Alex Jan 2018
I build my life up with colorful legos
I take a break and admire my work
Bright, beautiful colors
All stacked up
Then someone comes along and kicks my legos
Bright, beautiful colors
All scattered across the floor
I pick up my legos and build again, and again, and again
I'm so tired but I don't stop
I don't take breaks so no one can knock my legos down
I tell myself keep going
Yet someone still comes and kicks down my legos
But this time I don't fix it, I am too tired
And I realize, that no matter how many times I rebuild
No matter how beautiful the legos are
Someone will come knock down my life
Untill I die
Do I have to continue building?

Not Everdyday
Alex Jan 2018
Not everday a good guy appears
And you know from the start
What kind of guy he is
--------------------------------------------------------------­--------------
They don't break a girls heart for fun
They cherish every moment with you
So I like them better
----------------------------------------------------------­----
They don't call girls hoes
They will call a girl perfect
Even if you aren't theirs
-------------------------------------------
They don't take girls for granted
Because it's not everyday girls talk to them
It's not everyday a girl hangs out with them
And it's not everday they have the chance to fall in love
------------------------------------------------------------­---------------------
So never take him for granted
Love him with all your heart
Because it's not everday
You find a good guy like that one

Be Pretty
Alex Jan 2018
I want to smile
But I'm not happy
But I'm not like the others
I haven't found my fake smile
Because I'm not fake like the other girls
----------------------------------------------------------
­Why do I not wear makeup but the other girls do?
It's because I don't think I need it
Nor do I want it
I'm not secretly insecure like the other girls
-----------------------------------------------------------­---
While they gossip about me in corners
I don't like to talk bad about them
If I do they will hear
And they will start rumors about me
Untill I suddenly dissappear
------------------------------------------------------­-----
I don't get other girls
Why they curl their hair around their fingers
Why they always seem to get dates
Why I'm the one sitting alone
Being talked about
Called ugly, a nerd, lonely
----------------------------------------------------------­
I start to act like the other girls
And wear makeup and pretty clothes
Curl my hair around my finger and get dates
But I hate it
But I don't care that I hate it
I don't care I'm not happy
I never was happy
But at least now I'm accepted
--------------------------------------------------------­----
Why am I only accepted now?

Sleeping
Alex Jan 2018
Why don't I want to wake?
From the endless land
Full of my dreams
It's happier here
No insecurities
That torture me
Every.
Single.
Day.
I hide behind a bush, where I dream of nature
And the parks that I love
In the outside...
I run to a pond, where I dream of pools
Where family gathers and we have fun
In the outside...
I start to regret my desicion
And I try to escape
This prison called sleep
But I'm stuck
I should've been careful for what I have wished for
I should have listened
Why?
Why?
Why?

Paint
Alex Jan 2018
By: Alexandra Suttles
Running through the woods
Where am I?
Why am I here?
Who am I?
I see no exit
I’m just stuck
I between the trees
I try to run
But I fail
So, I resort to blending in
I paint myself like the other trees
So, nothing can eat me
----------------------------------
It keeps coming
Closer and closer
I can’t escape it
I want to hide
I run to a cave
Where it’s all grey
So, I paint myself grey
So, nothing can eat me
--------------------------------
It’s here now
I can’t escape
The paint isn’t working
It can’t hide me
It all comes out
And now they laugh at me
Why?

— The End —
