im not homecoming queen.
people take one look at me and think
“wow, she must have it made.  
popular,
boys,  
just a pretty face,
typical mean girl.
She must be a Homecoming Queen.”
but i’m not.
i’m not even on the court.
i’m not rude or entitled
i don’t have crowds of people
following me around
and my looks get me nowhere.
i’m just here,
suffering as much as the next person.
i probably won’t even go to homecoming...

Ive taken the road less traveled by.
I wont fall into the same trap
              many before me have fallen into
It takes grace,
              courage,
              resilience.  
It is an adventure
But My destination will not be yours.
I’ll take my time,
To Look out the window,
              And the view is Beautiful
the journey is everything. avoid the expressway, enjoy the view.

you’re even more beautiful in person.
I watched the sparkling water
reflect back on to you
the stars in your eyes
you watched them from my roof
spirits surely lifted ours
but it lifted something else
I melted into you
like the ***** melted into me
you   were   Intoxicating.
you said things
I wondered how it would change us
and I’m not scared
I welcome it if it’s true.
you wrote a poem about me
I’m writing one about you.
it hasn’t changed anything.

I used to get mad
when people would compare me
“You remind me of”
“Do you know who you sound like”
but how can I be mad,  if I compare myself
im constantly changing, who I am today will not be who I am tomorrow.
