you are an honors student
  but i'm failing this year
you are unaffected by stress
  but i'm consumed by stress
you are loved by all
  but they do not know me
you love presenting to the class
  but i get nervous in crowds
you are always so confident
  but you don't see what's under my clothes
you have such potential
  but you hardly know me
you can get better*
  **then why won't you help me

you make me feel gross
the way you touched me
and talk to me.
the lies to fed to me
and the way you let me
believe the **** that
you told other girls
you're gross.
and i hate every
single thing
about
you.

I am a waterfall that's too happy to cry
and so it floods the river
which floods
the roads, I ruin everything
but pretend I am making it grow.

She has red roses as asterisks, the star-shaped things
that are just scar shapes on me

and with her, there is
pollen
that she'll drag her fingernails across. She will
sprinkle colors on your chewed up,
cratered lips, saying you

will look beautiful and
feel full again. Well, I'll be the one to kiss you next
with grains of sulfur glued to your cheek

the rotten taste
making it so your mouth glows in the dark. I
know where to kiss and never tell: I
am sure you must notice my cigarette burns when

the lights are out. I have lit myself
like a candle,
and say
I cough from the smoke because no one can know
that I swallow all your poisons for you.

I know thing's are difficult
and decisions are hard to make
but never get discouraged
only you can choose your fate.

I'm always here to help you
know matter how bumpy the road get's
I'm a very stubborn person
and I will never let you quit.

One day we will look back on this
and we will laugh at the mistakes
we will be able to say we made it
and the outcome look's great.
