her eyes glistened
with the light of
a thousand stars.

they told me
she was not enough.

her scars were painted
across her canvas called skin -
each one unique to itself.

they desperately
cried out for help.

her glossed lips smiled softly,
pulling her ****** features
into a jovial facade;
allowing a melodious
voice to fill the air

it said
"i'm okay, thank you for asking."

- v.m
she is incredible and doesn't deserve to feel like anything less. she is you. you are incredible. keep reminding yourself of this until you believe it.

Mirror mirror on the wall
Please tell me you're lying
I haven't eaten the entire day
And yet I'm still as large

There goes dinner
And maybe breakfast as well,
if I don't​ look lean enough.

I'm waiting for that day,
The day when I finally see bone
Then I'll finally be free

They tell you to be yourself
But they also tell you to have perfect grades
Have perfect manners
And to simply be perfect
Now if that is far from being myself
What is being myself?

This word can be a powerful thing
Could be used to save the world
Could be used to destroy the world
Depends on how you use it

The knowledge we learn could be
Useless or helpful
Depending on who taught you
Or how you intend to use that knowledge

I myself
Intend to use this knowledge
The knowledge from everyday things
To do something worthwhile and memorable

I simply can't remember
When my brain was given a label
By letters and numbers
Of all things

So everything my brain says
Which happens to be my thoughts
Is simply going to be turned into a letter
Boy, don't I feel special
Schools report time is almost here, yippy! (Not)

When do you know when you're all grown up?
Does someone send you a letter
Or does it come in a dream
Maybe it takes a knock to the head to realise it

I am stuck in between an age of
Wanting to grow older
Yet stay this young forever

Quite a pickle, ain't it?

That specific time in between
Having fun and living in a routine.
The time when you let yourself go.
Not worrying about the future.
Nor the past.

Just the present
