You don’t decide who
Will make your heart race.
The corners of your lips just
Upturn so suddenly
That you only notice your smile
When you step forward and feel
The cement  pieces
Of a shattered frown
On the ground beneath your feet.
-what the first taught me

i feel trapped
caged in my own thoughts
people are staring at me
watching me dance for them in my cage
can’t they see i’m starving
tired of the attention
but they won’t help me
i’m trapped in my head
captured in a cage of my own making
why is my brain still in this cage?

you might not
have been my first love
but you were the one
who hurt the most.
- i ache for you but i'm still bruised.

Do you think a girl could love a boy who writes for her a million poems?  That's what I plan to do.

Stained Glass
I smile and laugh because if the people that cared about me knew my real pain, they would be worried and I cannot burden them with my weakness. I'm the strong one.
I do the saving, I don't get saved, I'm not supposed to be...

I like that you leave

hickies on my neck

instead of bruises on my heart

I've lost the sanity in me.,

I've fallen,

but no one has given me their hand.







I've chosen to suffer.
I don't have enough to lose,
So I'll give it to you.
There's so much to give,
From me to you.

I have a lot.
I was lucky!
I'll lend an ear
When things get sucky
For: anyone
