i am like a wilting flower.
i watch as bits & pieces of me fall & break before my eyes as these painful days go by.
i used to be able to lift my head & see sunshine,
but ever since you left & closed the door behind you,
the sunlight never touched me again.
you left and secluded me here
in a dark room that had no way out.
the shadows that were cast over me would crawl from the cracks & corners of the wall & creep up on my gentle skin little by little until i turned fragile enough to break.
the day you decided to leave,
my world became etched in darkness.
my petals that had once been vibrant in color,
washed away & faded into grey.
You're beautiful!
Your skin is so beautiful!

Those bullies are wrong, they've lied to you
Your skin is silky and smooth
It is dark as night
Where stars shine bright
Your skin is what makes you...you!

Its deep cocoa hue
its glow

You ARE beautiful
You should know

People may bully you and tear you down
But they can never take away
What stands as truth

You are beautiful
Every part of you
The words are basic, but that have much meaning for me.
As a kid I was always complimented on my skin by adults, but I grew up being made fun of for my skin color all the time by my peers, and know young teens who are constantly bullied for it. We all have beauty...and learning to love it makes life so much better!

Your mind is like an abyss
Deep, dark, and mysterious in every way
Though i don’t know where this darkness leads to
I’m curious of what’s in the shadows that you hide and protect
I want to know what you’re hiding away in your head
Let me discover your secrets

*******
For giving me false hope
Making me believe the lies that came from your mouth
*******
For letting me look foolish
Making me believe that you actually cared for me
*******
For deceiving me
Making me believe that you were faithful to me
*******
For wasting my time
Making me believe that it was going to be worth it

*******
to my ex

I was devastated when i realized
That you were never mine
And i was never yours

You are my happiness
My smile
My heart
My pain
Without you i am nothing
