I want people to stare at me as I walk by
Bow down to me
Kiss my feet
But they don't because I am just me

I want people to put flowers in my hair
Hold my hand
Lift up my soul
But they don't because I am just me

I want to be treated like a goddess
Dress me in white
Red on my lips
But I only look like one because I am just me

I want someone to look me in the eyes
And tell me
I am their god
But I can't even look them in the eyes

I want to live upon my people
They are the butterflies
I lay around and watch them
The garden is my home

In the garden no one kisses my feet
Or holds my hand
Rather I am surrounded by friends
We are each other's goddesses

The flowers admire me
They sit in my hair
The butterflies kiss me
And stain my lips red

I lied when I said no one cared about me
There are people out there
That perhaps care about me too much
That it makes me feel suffocated.

I lied when I said I loved you
I love a lot of people
But I know one of those people isn't you
Sorry about it.

I lied when I said I've always been sad
I love life almost every other day
But today I wish to hide
Not sorry about it.

If you stay true to yourself (meaning always strive to be the best that you can be), then the nature of things will run its course in reflection.
There will always be bumps in the road, but it's where you're going that matters. Be the essence of yourself and seeds will be planted. The wind will blow.
Clouds will bring rain, and you will grow.

I know beautiful words in my brain but I don't know how to say them.
I dream of changing the world with my actions but I don't know how to do them.
I desire an immaculate form of love but I don't know how to find it.
I wish to make art for a living but I don't know how to support myself.
I want to change someone's life but I don't know how to influence people.

It's okay I will continue to sit here and be a useless student.

A student who wishes to learn how to make the world love me.

When I first took my pants off for a boy he did not love me.
"Is that all you have to offer?"
"I guess you will do."

When I first met someone who I thought was my friend, they didn't respect me.
"I don't like people like you."
"I guess you will do."

When I first stripped my hair of its natural color, I did not recognize myself.
"Who are you?"
"I guess you will do."

When my parents found out I was depressed, they looked at me differently.
"This isn't the daughter I know."
"I guess you will do."

When my first boyfriend found out I was suicidal, he dumped me.
"Oh you're on the verge of ending your life?"
"You certainly won't do!"

When you found out I was a lost cause, you accepted me.
"You're beautiful with all your scars."
"You certainly will do."

Leave me alone.
I don't like words.
Everyone lies.

Leave me alone.
In a meadow
Surrounded by silence.

Leave me alone.
They won't see me cry
I won't try to die.

Leave me alone.
I only trust myself
And my breath

Leave me alone
The daisies and tulips
They might see me cry

Leave me alone
I will cry
I will die.

Little do you know, how beautiful you are.
Your eyes are the stars in the sky that is only mine,
You take me to my moon with each glance.

Little do you know, how beautiful you are.
Your voice is the first song I've ever listened to,
You lift me up into my own heaven.

Little do you know, how beautiful you are.
You make my Christmas feel like the only Christmas,
You let me dress in all my favorite hues.

Little do you know, how beautiful you are.
Your fingers touch my planets in all the right directions,
You create a painting on my lips with yours.

Little do they know, how good you are.
They do not wish me with you,
They believe you got rid of my sunshine.

Little do they know, how wrong they are.
You make my days darker, but my stars brighter,
You are my night, you are my universe.

Little do you know, how beautiful you are.
All my stars are every atom on your body,
And I wish to drench myself in it.
