If I was thinner, this world would love me more;
But I eat too much dinner, and I'm a bore.
If I had more courage, I'd have more friends,
But that on my attractiveness depends.

If I was different, I'd appease society;
But this is me.
And honestly I'm at the point where
I'm not looking to please.
Being different is more of a blessing,
Nothing close to a curse,
Its a gift,
Let it shine,
Its beautiful to be unique,
One of a kind,
Special,
Its great.

we're all pretending to smell candles
loving people who don't love us
and wondering when it will end

I dye my hair so I can feel
like this body I see is real.
I dye my hair so I can see
the body I see is real.

I make up my face so I can feel
like this body I wear is beautiful.
I make up my face so I can see
the body I wear is beautiful.

I wear my clothes so I can feel
like this body in the mirror is unique.
I wear my clothes so I can see
the body in the mirror is unique.

I cut my skin so I can feel
like this body I inhabit is mine.
I cut my skin so I can see
the body I inhabit **is mine.

There are times when I am happy
when I can take on the world
one ******* bug at a time.
Those times are the greatest
and the worst.
The times don’t last for long
because I don’t deserve
the happiness I feel,
the happiness I just felt.
So I break my happiness down to bits
and go back to being sad.

Less than three denotes a heart
showing love between two teens.
Texting back and forth with words
created out of broken and squished words.
Back with “ilu,” “ilysfm,” “ily,” “ilusm.”
And forth “i<3u,” “ilym,” “ilylc,” “bilu.”
Outsiders don’t understand the slang
but they don’t know,
they do not need to.
Only the two who are in love.

I’ve drawn a heart upon my arm
to remind me of the love I owe
this body that I own.

I’ve drawn a heart upon my skin
to tell myself to love
this suit that I wear.

I’ve drawn a heart with silver blades
upon the skin I so detest.

I’ve drawn a heart with  ****** paint
to save the soul that lives within.
