She Writes
Why do we search
For comfort and healing
In the hands of those
That broke us in the first place?

If I look in the mirror
I don't see me
I see a girl who is hiding
She sits in the back of the class
She hides during lunch
And the saddest part?
She forgot who she ever was
or ever could be...

Truth

You tell me it’s nothing,
But I see your pain,
I hear your cry,
Lost in the rain.

You say you’re alright,
Assure me you’re fine,
But I see the tears,
Lost in your eyes.

You tell me you’re good,
But I sense your fear.
You would get nervous,
Whenever I’m near.

So tell me the deal,
Speak of what hurts,
Expose what you feel,
Show me its worth.

Your smile is beautiful,
Forever always.
But does it still glow,
At the end of the day,

When you go to sleep,
Tuck in your sheets,
Hoping no one sees,
The tears that you weep?

Do the clothes you wear,
Resemble your fear?
Seems no one cares
Of things you hold dear.

You look alright,
Almost too happy,
But you lost your sight,
Joy never having.

I know your heart,
See it right through you.
It’s tearing apart,
I always knew.

When life gets hard,
And you’re left to die,
I’ll hold your scars,
To be right by your side.
You can tell me what hurts because I'll listen... S.B. <3

Every single wish I spent on

shooting stars

or pennies thrown into wishing wells

was wasted on you.

Take me away,
To a place of no pain,
A place full of love,
A place full of grace.

Take me to the flame,
Bring me the fire.
Don't want the shame,
Only my desire.

Where is my call,
When is my time?
Why try to stall,
Why try to hide?

Just want to leave,
No one will know.
Wish I could flee,
But I'm stuck in your zone.

Give me the rash,
Give me the burn.
Better than trash,
Better to learn.

Let me try,
Let me fail.
Don't care if I sigh,
Losing my sail.

It may not last,
You'll have to leave.
But I'll still laugh,
I'll still sing,

When I remember the times,
When I still have the dreams,
Knowing the lines,
Recalling the things.

They play in my head,
Like a sweet lullaby.
Everything they said,
Every tear I'd cry.

I'm praying for hope,
Asking for peace.
So I don't grow cold,
Just cause it's me.
Things I'll never say to her... S.B. <3

Imagine a world,
Void of peace,
Empty of life,
No longer free.

Imagine a world,
Where trust is forgotten,
Lies come to reign,
Truth is corrupted.

Imagine a world,
Where hearts are empty,
Hands are needed,
But no one is lending.

Imagine a world,
When time comes to pass,
Clocks are reversed,
People become mad.

Imagine a world,
Where ash is the air,
Humans breathe fire,
But nobody cares.

Imagine a world,
Where love is forgotten,
Peace is envied,
Yet people are rotten.

Imagine a world,
Where crying is normal,
Tears are everywhere,
Nobody's formal.

Imagine a world,
Where corners aren't safe,
People spit fire,
Leaders breathe hate.

Imagine a world,
Where rain is no more,
Embers are everywhere,
Down to earth’s core.

Imagine a world,
Where sorry is lost,
Can't find its way,
Through all the wrongs.
Hoping these will stay dreams...

You are a novel
gathering dust on my shelf
but not because I don’t want to read
but because I’m afraid
to turn the page,
afraid of how you’ll end

Imagine a world,
Where love is pollution.
If there's a problem,
Hate’s the solution.

Imagine a world,
Where dreams are faded,
Passion is destroyed,
Souls are raided.

Imagine a world,
Where souls never meet,
Attraction means nothing,
Only their needs.

Imagine a world,
Where hope is the loser,
Pride is the victor,
Later is sooner.

Imagine a world,
Where creativity is nothing,
Useless unless it,
Turns people to money.

Imagine a world,
Where eyes never meet,
Love is forever lost,
Souls never bring.

Imagine a world,
Where no is forever,
Affections change,
As much as the weather.

Imagine a world,
Where money’s everything,
Nobody's sharing,
Everyone's keeping.

Imagine a world,
Where nature's extinct,
Nobody's heard of,
A bird's feathered wings.
Hoping this will never become real...

It is a tragedy that being tragic
Has become so fashionable

Olivia A Keaton
after a few years or so of writing poetry,
your lips wrote a thousand, beautiful words against mine.

*It’s better than anything I’ve ever written
O.K

he makes me happy, that’s important, right?
