looking in my mirror
i see nothing wrong
figuring out now
i was beautiful all along
imperfections, i have them
but its no big deal
its just a way of proving
that im 100% real
i may not be attractive
but im sure great to be around
the queen of self-confidence
shall i be crowned

sitting here staring at a picture of you
i realize ive made a mistake
this emptiness inside is killing me
i gave everything
even what was sacred
i thought id be able to make you stay
but oh, was i wrong
i shouldnt of let you take it
i shouldve just waited for that special someone
but being young and naive
i was desperate
you knew all the right words to say
you became a pro at playing with my heart
and pulling its strings
treating me as if i meant everything but nothing
all at the same time
you played me like the fool that i was
but now i realize that im better than you
i deserve better than you
so i know to stay hidden behind my walls
and wait for someone who really care
its amazing that i learned so much, just from
sitting here staring at a picture of you

Facebook- deal with all of your friends drama that's none of your business
Twitter- read about all the pointless things that celebrities have to say
Instagram- look at all these foods that look amazing but you know you'll never get
Vine- watch people be ******* and post videos to prove their stupidity
Pinterest- scroll through fantastic DIY projects that aren't as easy as they say

But there is one different from the others...

Hellopoetry- read things that are influential,
       they affect you in a way that you never thought was possible
       and it is all in a good way
read beautiful scriptures that actually stand for something
nonsense doesn't exist on hellopoetry
just honest feelings that make you want
to relax, enjoy, and just read

nothing will ever change my love for you:
not the hurt or the pain,
nor the fights or the rain.
Never will I forget, even in the end,
that we'll still be left
with memories of glances and kisses,
nights and wishes,
feelings and blisses.

I've become alive
the day I wrote your name for the first time.

Freckles on your face,
Sunshine in your smile,
Promises made on your pinkie,
Memories in your mind,
Steps taken with your soles,
Hands are being held,
Adoration gleaming in your eyes.
