everyone thinks
that you should take
every opportunity
that comes
but if you do that
your entire life
would be new things
and you wouldn't have time
for your old friends
your family

your entire life would be told in a story like this:
"and then they tried this, and it didn't work out. and then she tried this, and it worked out very very well. but then she tried this, and it ruined the last one."

of course,
you should totally take chances
and opportunities.
but i believe
you shouldn't jump on each train as it comes.
you might fall off.

those people

i think
it doesn't matter
what you look like
if you care about
other people
and putting them
before yourself

i love people like that
who put others above themselves
i believe everyone does
and everyone thinks that is how they live too,
but they
are wrong.

and what about those good people?
what about themselves?
who puts them above him or her?

they don't get special treatment.
speaking of special treatment,
is there really any?
i believe everyone should be treated the same.
and again,
it goes back to those good people
putting others above themselves.

sorry if this poem doesn't make a lot of sense. just speaking my mind.

doing well and all of its side effects

if i do well
in school
a good percentage of the time
the moment i ***** up
everyone thinks
it was on purpose
or i ruined what i had worked for
i'm not complaining
or bragging
about doing well
in my endeavors
but once you do well
doing not so well
is not an option.

the me's

i have a me
who lives in my room.
i have a me
who goes to school.
i have a me
who hangs out with my friends.
i have a me
who talks with my family.
i have a me
who talks to my authorities.
i have a me
who hates the rest.

hiding

I'm there.
you don't see me.
i might be reading
or talking to myself
but I'm there.

you know i am.

him

he knows
how i feel
he doesn't
feel the same

i wish he knew
what he meant
to me.

he's leaving soon
ill try not to miss him
but i know
i will

its happened before
they left
when i loved them
i see them occasionally
not enough

no one knows
how i really feel about him
he likes girls
but not me.

i don't expect him
to obsess over me.
no.
i want him to feel the same.

he's a bright blue flower
in a field of weeds.
he's the sunny day
in a week full of rain.

i'm the thorn
on a beautiful rose.
he likes
the roses.

i see him
everyday.
i watch him with his friends.
acting completely different
than with me.
comfortable
funny
caring
when he's with them.

weird
opinionated
confused
with me.

he knows how i feel about him.
but not at all.

yes, everyone deserves a second chance.
that doesn't mean they get them.
