what if i told you
that one look from you
can make my entire body
feel electric
can fill me with
such a beautiful misery

what if i told you
that you're the one
all my poems are about

you'd probably say
i was crazy

so i hold my tongue
even though my heart aches
and my fingers long
to intertwine with yours
Just an average girl
always wore a smile;
she was happy and cheerful
for a short while;
now she's older
life is getting colder;
life's not what she thought
wish someone had told her.

she told you she was done
you let it slip by;
from then on
she kept it on the inside.

but she was telling white lies
can't you tell look in her dull eyes?
This is what I go through. This is who I am. Now, at least.
Pick me up,
And open my cover,
But be careful,
Cause I might crumble,
Read my fine print,
Just don’t mock the way I am,
I’ve been through alot since then,
Drugs,
Fights,
Heart breaks,
And more,
Are all the things you’ll find,
In my novel.

I realize
I have real eyes
That see real lies—
     ~Nearsighted
          (rule of law)
     ~Farsighted
          (rule of lies)
     ~The "ayes" have it
          (hidden agenda)
     ~The "ayes" have it
          (secret addenda)
     ~The "ayes" have it
          (hate crimes)
     ~The "ayes" have it
          (critical times)
     ~Undocumented truth
          (entombed)
     ~Unmitigated lies
          (exhumed)
I realize
I have real eyes
That see real lies—
     ~As the world cries

You were my true love what happened?
Was I not good enough?
Was I not pretty enough?
My soul is tearing apart
I was your light
When did I turn into your darkness?
I was the apple of your eyes
When did i become nothing in your sight ?
I was your present and future
When did I became your past?

I struggle to find the reason.
Why I’m pushing though pain.
Turning life,
Into survival.
