why do pretty girls

cut them selves

starve themselves

want to die?

because once upon a time they weren't pretty to you.
they were weren't pretty to society.

why? because we build this dumb notion of what beautiful really is.
blue eyes
blonde hair
long skinny legs
flat chest and tummy.

no

that does not makeup a beautiful person.
nor is it perfect.

i am not perfect
you are not either.

so why do we degrade eachother
if what we have under our complexion is all the same.

So beautiful--God himself quailed
at her approach: the long body curved
like the horizon. Why had he made
her so? How would it be, she said,
leaning towards him, if instead of
quarreling over it, we divided it
between us? You can have all the credit
for its invention, if you will leave the ordering
of it to me. He looked into her
eyes and saw far down the bones
of the generations that would navigate
by those great stars, but the pull of it
was too much. Yes, he thought, give me their minds'
tribute, and what they do with their bodies
is not my concern. He put his hand in his side
and drew out the thorn for the letting
of the ordained blood and touched her with
it. Go, he said. They shall come to you for ever
with their desire, and you shall bleed for them in return.

I always fear the day will come
When I will stop loving you
Your arms no longer my home
Your voice no longer the echo
Your presence no longer needed
Your kiss won't keep me sedated
I fear I have to walk up to you
Saying those four painful words
But it is something I must do
Even if it is a selfish act
But you can't possibly call it love
When I do not feel the same way
Feelings sometimes change for better or for worse

He teased me and made me smile
We sat and talked for a while
He said he was different from any other guy
I could not see how that was a lie
He seemed to be so pure
I thought he was my cure
Then when we were apart
He went and broke my heart
Then without a second glance
I gave him another chance
I thought we were meant to be
But I just could not see
That he would again tear me apart
And yet again break my heart
