Go to sleep my dear,
For in the morning when you wake
It will be a new day
A fresh start
Where you can be whoever you want to be
Do whatever you want to do,
And love whoever you want to love
Just like the day before.

I’m not sure if this makes sense or not. I don’t know.

Life Goes On

Sometimes I get anxious
About little things
That I know won’t matter to me
In a week,
A month,
A year.
I just need to remind myself,
That life goes on

Did anyone get my Beetles reference? No? Ok....

Rain

I try to tiptoe across the pain
but you caught my tears hidden by the rain
you try to tell me everything will be okay
But all I hear is that I will always love you

And that you will never feel the same

why can't you just love me. why do you not love me. why cant you just let me love you and let yourself love me. i dont understand. i dont know if i ever will. why do you do this to me. do you want me to hurt? why am I not good enough? why can't you just love me. why cant anyone just ******* love me.

Space

There’s a time and a place,
To give me space.
But usually,
I just want you.

When I get mad, my mom tries to give me space, but usually it just makes me even more angry and sad because I just want to talk to her.

Is anyone willing to see?

The sunset sky
Lights a fire in her eyes

The one twinkling star
Ignites a liveliness in her heart

The swaying leaved trees
In her hair brings a slight breeze

And her beautiful face
Brings a feeling of grace
To any creature willing to see

I feel like the last line and the title ties in with the fact that most adults are unwilling to see teenagers and their opinions, as they are always dismissed as “uneducated” and “childish”.

Wishing

I wish I was as pretty as her,
I wish I was smart like her,
I wish I was as extroverted as she is,
I wish I were likable like her,
I wish I was as talented as her,
I wish I was skinny like her,
I wish I was as confident as she is,
I wish I was normal like her,
I wish I had as trendy a style as her,
I wish I didn’t have anxiety like her,
I wish I was as artistic and creative as her,
I wish I had skin as smooth as hers,
I wish I was as good with people as she is,
I wish I was as tan as her,
I wish. I wish I wish I wish I wish I wish.

I wish I wasn’t myself.

How I feel when I see basically any girl.

I wrote this a while ago, and I don’t feel like this now, but I felt like I should share it.

Please slow down

Darling, I’ve forgotten
I forget who I am.
Could you please tell me?
And, while you’re at it,
Could you tell me,
What I’m meant to be?
It would certainly help a lot.
I just want to speed things along.

Until I wish that
I could slow it
