Put on some lipstick
So you look like
You are smiling
And no ones sees
The sadness

Put on some mascara
So you look like
Your eyes are twinkling
With joy
And no one sees
The deadness in you

Put on some foundation
So you look like
Your skin is shining
And not
The grey of exhaustion

And finally,
Put a slice on your arm
To repay
Future mistakes
And to remember
You are real
No little girl,
You don't know pain
You are just a child
You say you want to die
But you are probably lying

No little girl,
You don't know stress
You are just a child
You say it is drowning you
But you are probably lying

No little girl,
You don't know anxiety
You are just a child
You say you can't breathe
But you are probably lying

No little girl,
You don't know depression
You are just a child
You say you hate living
But you are probably lying

No little girl,
You don't know these things
You are just a child
You say you speak the truth
But you are probably lying

No stupid adult
I do know these things
Yes you are an adult
You say you understand
*But you are definitely lying
.

I don't write
poetry,
I write little pieces
of my heart,
hoping
they will
*touch yours
Stay up late with me
and decorate the moon.
Hang up on it shiny little
lamps and stamps. Stay
up with me and watch it
shine in the night's sky.
And hold hands as we
watch the stories we
have in one another's
eyes. Stay up with me
all night and be by my
side. Watch the moon
enjoy it's new lights
and sigh* ~
