Those who give nasty looks
Choose to be rude
They read bad books.

Looking with dragon eyes
Knowing as they accuse
They hold the lies.

So look at me cross-eyed
So you dare.
Based on your integrity lacking
I do not care.

I look at you back
With a face in repair.
My eyes are strong
And they tell you,
So there.

It's never mind versus body,
It's never naked versus thinking,
How we stare at our project,
Put in a pill to clear the head.

Chemicals that slow me down
Physically.
Carbons that make me think
quickly.
You are right.

For my mind to be wise
And my baggage to be open carefully,
I'll find my concrete.

Run away.

From the possibilities that hurt,
Of who I'd potentially become,
Run and tire myself out of irritate.

But I can't
Run away
From you.

Tea lights will soon be strung,
Though romance is done
Our friendship has officially
Begun.

We two brightest bulbs in the bunch,
Know the limits now,
So we don't take a painful punch.

So we see,
So we hang,
So I remember your arm around me
And you remember how beautiful I
Sang.

Soon we go back,
And this is right.
Can't wait for you to come in
And see the strung up tea lights.

Each individual
Beaming little light
Will remind me of how
We decided
And and we two are very bright.

Love lasts,
Never labels of what we call.
Times change,
But staying friends is best of all.
Still here, still care about each other.
With a person like you,
I will never find another.

I wake up,
I put on my plaid,
I put liner on my eyes,
honestly, it doesn't look bad.
Its not about whats on me,
its what I do.
I may not always comprehend,
and I may not be a good friend.
I've let people down
so many times in my life
before.
Remember that I am only human,
and with times like these
there will be plenty more.
I say, I do, I misunderstand you.
You tell, You instruct, I say,
what the ****?
Now today I washed my insecure
and told me I love you.
I knocked the mental Stop Sign
down and out of my face.
No longer will people react to my
smartness by taking as a,
"Surprise! Happy Birthday!"
The liner on my eyes
shows no coverage, but
esteem.
Try a new guitar brand,
try a new flavor ice cream.
Theres so much more to life than
internships,
Co-ops,
and strawberry freeze-pops.
It's trying,
applying,
and learning.
So we deal with
the post-argument
and the popcorn thats burning.
As I grow,
I'll have you know,
the liner on my eyes,
Is supposed to show.
My quirky-artsistic me,
has so many better places
to go.
So I'll put on my liner,
I'll be myself,
and when I am,
DON'T EVER
tell me NO.

When she reaches out to him,
the girl who resigned
her compassion,
for me.
He keeps his integrity,
remains genuine, and keeps
his love,
for me.
I told her once,
what was a bother,
for me.
But they had such a connection,
perhaps a misunderstanding,
for me.
I feel hurt by how she touches,
shows him affection,
but no kindness nor affection,
for me.
Though their friendship is
only between them,
and to dictate,
is not,
for me.

Lying in my warm bed, awake.
The window next to me provides me light.
Can't even face my window and look outside,
The bad people come out at night.
My shaking in sweat hands and fingers,
Clutching my blanket.
My face in my pillow, hidden and buried.
The clock is ticking,
The room so dark and empty,
I'm still so worried, need to tell my
Paranoia, "I've had plenty."
But my mind won't listen.
Somebody is coming to get me.
This paranoia tricks me around.
My heart beats faster than the clock,
Can't breathe,
Can't think,
Of anything real.
Night passes,
Morning is here.
I'm bloodshot, pale, and sick.
You
Have no idea
How at night I freak of the someone out to get me.
And how scared I feel.
