is it too late
for me
my dreams my aspirations
my goals my hopes
I finally realized
this dead end road
isn't going to take me anywhere
no matter how many times
I turn around and
try again
"why are you so jumpy?"
because I've always been a part of the guy crowd
the one that physically fights instead of mentally
I have grown up in fear of being hit
because I have always done something wrong
I have never felt safe around you
because I know you would take it out on me
but I am not a punching bag
*I'm your daughter
lol
lol
I wish my heart wouldn't spark
for people I don't need
like tim foil in the microwave
sitting in a bar by yourself
he walks up to you
"is anyone sitting here?"
you tell him no and he sits down
he makes small talk
"this weather is terrible"
you laugh at his jokes
hoping he will leave you alone
"let me buy you a drink"
sure, just cause it's free
he gets closer to you
you're too uncomfortable to move
his hand moves to your leg
"let's go dance"
you tell him you aren't the type
and he smiles and reassures you
you go for one dance
then go back to the bar
"let's get out of here"
it's hard to look at myself in the mirror
seeing every place you left
your mark
help me
find myself
hickeys are beautiful
it shows that someone loves you so much
that they wanted to remind you every day
with that beautiful
love bite
teenagers
halfway between being a child
and an adult
too old to play with toys
but too young to have adult conversations
we drink, smoke, sleep around
until someone takes advantage of that
and ruins us forever
but it doesn't matter
because we are teenagers
Mom
Mom
I can't take it anymore
your negativity
sassy comments about my mental health
your rude behavior towards new things
uncomfortable feelings towards people not like you
judgmental comments toward everyone
you are supposed to be a role model
but I don't even want to be near you
I can't take it anymore
my love,
hold me close
my love,
kiss my cheek
my love,
tickle my back
my love,
make me fall in love
hugs and pictures
flash
flash
blinded by the light
and fake smiles on our faces
try not to cry when she walks out the door
because she will not come back
the same person she was before
I wonder if you are trying to ease
your way into my life
it's not gonna work
because I've gotten over you
I've pushed you out of my life
and I hope it stays
I don't need my life to be ruined
again by your evil ways
her eyes are wide
staring at the wall
off in her own little fantasy
where she gets good grades
the guy she likes, likes her too
she is popular
she is beautiful
she has a perfect world
just inside her head
kiss my neck
tell me "you're mine"
I like you
          you like her
"Is it possible to fall in love with someone you have only met once?"

I've only seen those beautiful blue eyes
once
they lit up my world
I've only heard your beautiful laugh
once
it was the most beautiful song
I've only touched your beautiful body
once
butterflies went crazy

"Is it possible to fall in love with someone you have only met once?"
your flirting and compliments
the way you want to more about me
has got me on cloud 9
I already let myself down
and didn't keep up to
my resolution
**** you for making me feel like this
                          treating me so right
             leaving me behind
                       kissing me so sweetly
but **** me for falling for you
                 and your tricks
exploring the ruins of ancient Italy
reminds me of exploring
the dark parts of your soul
sorry I haven't posted in a week. I was in Italy for spring break
what good is love
to a person full of hate?

what is trust
to a person always left behind?

what is hope
to a person always discouraged?

what is peace
to a person always at war with themselves?

what is life
to a person who wants to be dead?
I think we all love a good book
because we get into it
and escape
*reality
medicine
it's got me all over
I feel like the bed is moving
with nothing underneath
people trading on beds but
I can't seem to move
the ships leave now
but with everyone
so who is holding my hand--
I look up and see-- you
you kept your promise to stay
oh Ethan
I wrote this long after I took a sleeping medication so I was a little loopy
I did exactly
what I said I wouldn't do
please
understand
I am no where close
to being the princess
you think I am
you cry but no one hears you
you help others with their problems
but they never return the favor
no one calls you to check up on you
no one notices the sadness in your eyes
or your broken heart shattered
in front of them
but I do because I know how it feels
to be **alone
used
abused
and confused
I wonder what it's like
to lie next to you in bed
our breathing synced together
and you caressing my back
with your delicate fingers
I wonder if then
I will feel safe
your words of hatred
make me crumble
like a sand castle
what makes you think
I have the time for your games?
I wish I was drunk
so I could confess how
worthless you make me feel
I tried to write a poem
about how happy you make me
but I'm so lost for words
140
you're ugly

137
i like skinny girls

133
your legs are giant

130
your arms jiggle

127
sure you wanna eat that?

123
you've lost so much weight, why??

120
*worthless
your slender figure
the way I always taste you
long after you're gone
your scent is always faintly
floating around me
your breath
so effortless
the way you taste on my lips
is like nothing I've had before
and I always wonder
if this is the beginning
of a addiction
I've always wanted to smoke cigarrettes
please understand
that I'm not what you think
I'm full of surprises
sometimes the mask comes off
please understand
sometimes it's not you
sometimes it's me
find someone who
makes you smile
laughs at all your jokes
calls out of the blue just to say hello
watches disney movies with you
brings you your favorite coffee

find someone who
holds you when you cry
tickles your back
makes you soup when you're sick
listens to sad music with you

find someone who
lets you be you
you care like no one ever has before
do I deserve that?
my gentle hand
grabbed the sharp blade
the words you didn't even have guts to say to my face
were slowly etched
into my skin
my grandpa smells of
stale cigarettes and air freshener
I was told he quit 30+ years ago
I try to believe that
he has the will power
but why does it smell like
he relapsed?
but maybe you did
*******
because you couldn't get a
high
from loving me
I still love you
I want this to work
you make me so angry
I can't live without you
I want to punch you in the face
why did you do this to me?
what did I do to deserve this?
come back to me
"you should date him"

just cause you think it is a good idea
doesn't mean that I agree

"you know you like him"

he kissed me in my basement
this doesn't mean I feel anything towards him

"the last one is not coming back"

I think about him all the time
and what he did to me

"you mean nothing to him"

late at night I find myself thinking of when him and I were together
and sometimes I wish it was like that again

"what happened?"

I finally realized I wasn't in love with him
but with the idea of being loved
"you're a ******* ******"
my heart broke a little more
I gasped for air
my eyes welled up with tears
but
this time I will not let you win
with your hateful words
I will rise above you
I have so much to say
but I don't know where to start
I wanna keep time
with the freckles on your back
a cigarette in it's box
toys stuck in plastic
paint in the can
the girl inside of you
the happy one
we are all
*trapped
are you going to let him destroy you?
use you?
he has manipulated you
he is the poison you've been drinking
its time for rehab
your love had me addicted
but it was kinda like an alcohol addiction
I would drink it up more and more
but that just made me
more vulnerable to your stupid games

your love had me hooked
like a druggie with ****
I would feel the high and I wouldn't want it to stop
and I couldn't wait until the next time
I would feel that high again

your love had me dependent on you
it had me obeying every command
because you convinced me
that's how we would stay together
and I believed it

your love made me scandalous
sneaking around and lying
always prepared for some ****** action
fulfilling your needs
and I never tried to stop you

your love ruined me
made me more suicidal than ever
I thought the only way out was harming myself
because if I hurt you, I would lose you
and you had me convinced
super star
                 terrific
awesome
                a for effort
I'm special
                  all stickers I could choose from
but I chose the blank sticker
because this sticker describes me
