Can you see me?

Your eyes
They sparkle
Like diamonds
They are blue
Like the ocean
I like the ocean
I like when the waves
Lap at my feet
I want to stare
Into those oceans
For eternity
But I'm afraid I might
Drown in them
So I must look away
They draw me in
Like a strong undertow
They are dangerous
When you are too deep
There is no escaping
They are bright
Like the sky
On a sunny day
Sunny days make me happy
Just like you
I'm drawn to you
Your smile
Lights up the room
Your laughter
Brightens the mood
You
Make
Me
Happy

I ate half a granola bar for breakfast. It was delicious. I smell pretty bad. That's ok. My clothes clash. That's also ok. There are many, MANY holes in my clothes. At least I have clothes. There are also four holes in each of my boots. At least I have shoes. My old iPhone 3 broke, so I am phone less. The Internet is a black hole so best to get away from it. There's mold in my refrigerator. I don't use that old thing anyways. The faucet spews brown water. That's ok, I prefer drinking fountains. My carpet has many neglected stains. A piece of artwork! There are many gangs in my neighborhood. We respect our boundaries. Someone is killed almost every couple of days. Well, as long as it's not me! Where I work, my boss hates me. I never liked him either. I get minimum salary. At least I get money! I work twelve hours a day. I always have something to do! When I get home I find something to eat. Ahh! Home! All I have is microwave ramen noodles. Yum! Asian night! But my microwave doesn't work. I'll go to Walgreens tomorrow. I don't have any other food to eat. I don't have to eat tonight! I decide to watch tv. Thank gosh I have cable! Only four channels work. Four is all I need! They are all in Japanese. Well, I know a few words in Japanese! I get to "bed". My sleeping bag on the ground. So comfy! What a great day! Man, am I thankful to be me!

I once grew my hair down to my waist.
But then I cut it. Cuz long hair is overrated.

I once dyed my brown hair blonde.
But then I hid in my room. Cuz blonde hair is overrated.

I once wore blue eye contacts.
But then I instantly took them off. Cuz blue eyes are overrated.

I once caked my eyelids with eyeshadow.
But then I wiped it off. Cuz makeup is overrated.

I once became a millionaire.
But then I gave away all my money to charities. Cuz money is overrated.

I once got a fake tan.
But then I wore long sleeves and jeans. Cuz tan skin is overrated.

I once shopped at Express.
But then I gave all my clothes to Goodwill and shopped there instead. Cuz expensive clothes are overrated.

Don't change who you are just to please others.

Cuz perfection is overrated.

They say that it takes more muscles to frown than to smile. Ironically, the people who smile are the ones that are stronger than the people who frown.

You deceived me, but, even worse, I had no clue.

When we are together, I leave wanting more than before.
