They tell you to go to sleep,
not knowing what’s in store,
“Just close your eyes” they say... but little do they ask,
“And what if I close my eyes and all I do is see darkness?”
“What if my head starts to spin and that's all can focus on?”
“What if my heart rate goes up and my breathing get heavier and I can't slow it down?”
“What if I'm stuck in thought and no one is there to physically pick me up?”
“How do I sleep, if sleep won't come?”

My lashes aren’t fake, nor am I
I go through life
I am not shy
And in it all the struggle, and strife
My life has changed, cut like a knife

I stand tall, though 5 foot 3
I’m not an average girl, you see
Behind this name I truly hide
That someone close is by my side

My name is here not date of birth
Still know my purpose here on earth
I change my name and hair and smile
No one noticed all the while

I can live in peace with love
Security first, like a dove
I love my self, won’t ever change
My heart change still, is out of range

Won’t put me down
While I lift up
Like a river
Strong and tough
Don’t need your help
To once be me
I’m not your average girl you see

Sadly... you still wanted to get rid of me

Where were you, on that awful night
A cold and dismal, gruesome sight
Where have you gone to go and get
Another’s heart, when mine was set
I found another kind and true
Won’t make my anger burn and brew
I fall in love with you today
Don’t remind of yesterday
Upon your eyes and dreams so light,
Your deep, soft voice makes me feel bright
The song of our first dance, I play
It’s in my heart and here to stay
I think of you each night and day,
Never knowing what to say
Could talk with you for hours on end
Won’t break my heart, but I could bend
Right over backwards, up and down
I hear your name with sweet renown
Your dark hair, eyes, get lost and drown
Where he was not, you now stand
No fear or worry, here at hand

Coral is insignificant, to only you and me
But so much good it does for you,
only through the sea

He noticed coral, dead from stress
The way that corals do
He picked apart to find the best
Revealing what is true

I like to think I am a coral
Found by you, you see,
You think that I am beautiful
You notice distantly

I was made aware that you cared
You started showing too
Whenever i just think about you
Maybe i turn blue

My baby hairs, you noticed them
Told me they were cute
You treated me like I’m a gem
no matter my offshoot

A young sweet mermaid, locked in here
A silent, subtle cheer
Waiting here for a new heart
you were my new start

In this world, where I stand
My little feet in the sand
Certain thoughts that are banned
Tend to fill your mind

The artificial light will bleed
No matter mind, or word, or deed
All are here are soon agreed
Breaking me apart

Small hearts poke through the light
Still none see the gleaming height
Lonely man walks through the night,
Saving all who come

Gather at the small birch tree,
No one hold the golden key
Her hair so grown yet feathery
All eyes gaze upon

Her natural light did now occur
The people’s minds it sill upstirr
They force her only to return
All glory fade away

The lonely mad begs her to stay
Her price, he will, too pay
The silent girl fall down to pray
All others break in two

Our saving grace is here once more
Allowing us, to all go soar
The kite and pain he only bore
To save both you and me

In 2018 you can love yourself
Don’t leave your dreams upon the shelf
From who you are
And whence you came
You will never be the same

The inspiring people
The tall church steeple
Last year was good,
But now is gone

Don’t let them in
Commence, begin
To build a new foundation
You reach new heights With revelation
Becoming who you are

They won’t break you
They words aren’t true,
Hurt but now can heal
Try your best to be re-dressed
In clothes of old and new

2018 will be the way
To show that I won’t break today,
To prove that I’m strong and bold
A new beginning to uphold
Good fortune, virtue be foretold
