What's that term? Look how the tables have turned?
Yes, look! The seasons have changed my friend. That favorite
Tree of yours would have normally been surrounded by green
And brilliant, leaves.
But that tree now..  What overtakes its skinny, unhealthy
Arms are dull and lifeless and red and yellow shrivels of leaves.
Autumn, isn't he lovely?

F is for the times when I say **** it
I is for the tears that I cry
N is the emptiness I feel inside
E is for the hope I have that it all is going to *end

Look at that beauty,
She is going to be a wonderful mother
One day. The perfect bride.
But why must she play so
Roughly with her brothers? That gorgeous
Dress is getting unbelievably *****..
Why isn't she inside playing with her dolls
With the other girls? Oh! And look at
Her hair! It is caked with mud. Such a
Pretty girl as this one shouldn't have hair like this.
What is going to be next? Will she start trying
To learn her time tables with the boys during
Their lessons? Or start hunting with her dad?
Someone needs to teach her. Yes, she needs to know
How to be a lady.. Her duties will be to her family.
She must learn to cook! I will show her. She will
Be a woman.

Just because I like science does not mean I'm atheist.
Just because I'm Christian doesn't mean I'm religious.
Just because  it's easy for me to make friends doesn't mean I don't have social anxiety.
Just because I don't eat as much as everyone else doesn't make me anorexic.
Just because I make honor roll doesn’t mean I'm smart.
Just because I don't wear tons of makeup everyday doesn't mean that I'm confident in myself.
Just because I do not judge anyone does not mean I don't have an opinion.
Just because I blog a photo of a naked lady doesn't make me bi/ lesbian.
Just because I know the guy I like doesn't like me back doesn't mean that I can't continue to like him.
Just because people call me pretty and I say thank you does not mean I believe I am.
Just because I ignored you does not mean I didn't hear you insult me.
Just because I laughed it off does not mean it didn't hurt.
Just because I act strong does not mean I am.
Because that's all it is.. An act.
But no one cares to get to know the real me, so I hope you're happy with what you get.

I faked my death
in a hotel room
when I was a kid
and I have been
with this family ever since
I have a brother I love
with whom
I grew up with
and all of these beautiful people
I call family
and friends

I am
the creation
from a star
mother earth
is a hover car
and people like myself
die on the windshield
too busy thinking
instead of paying attention

Don't ever fall in love.
Don't ever try to find someone
You can loose  yourself  to .
No one cares about your fragile heart,
No one but you.
While you sit there, heart full of love,
He is sitting there looking at your
Photograph whilst some fair skinned
Girl has her tongue down his throat .

I should have known.
I thought I was maybe.. special?
What gives me the right to be special?
I am no better than anyone I ever thought
I was.
