" That's just me "

You’ll hear her say

" I am lesser than beautiful "
I refuse to believe that
I am of worth
What exactly am I?

A courageous soul who is unapologetically herself

Well, the truth is
I look in the mirror to only see
My reflections disappoint
No longer can I say that
My beauty radiates from within

He Writes Poetry

He Writes Poetry

He writes poetry
But no one knows

He writes poetry
He writes about love
And loss

He writes about smiles
And frowns

He writes about sorrow
And forgotten towns

He writes about how lost he gets
Caught up in his own mind

He writes poetry to
And about others

But no one knows

Know one knows the depth of his soul
Because they all choose to see the exterior
And that exterior screams

Preppy
And preppy
Don't have souls

Or so they thought
Until the day he was consumed
By his own poetry

// These pills don't work //

// These pills don't work //

You cannot heal me
for I am not a broken soul.
My spirit carries heavy burdens
but my colours never dull.

Pointed torches in my face
this light, it hurts my eyes.
I was led alone, I sobbed
thinking no one heard my cries.

I smile in the face of the enemy
and laugh in the face of a friend.
It is not that I am lying
but that I must pretend.

Today I Wrote Song

Today I wrote a song.
I hummed it to the birds.
They sang it back to me,
As sweet as they could.

I don't know. It just popped into my head and I wrote it down. Someone tell me what I meant.

Locked In

Locked In

No one can get in.
Nothing can get out.
My mind is a closed door.
It's all locked in.

The more people I let in, the more people can just walk out.
I'm a sociable person, but I don't trust easy.
