When I was 5,
I laid bed
and awoke screaming in fear.
You held  me until I was calm
looking at me with your brilliantly green eyes;
you smiled
and told me,
"You'll be okay."

I believed you.

When I was 9,
I laid in the dentist chair.
The silly man said
I had a cavity.
So you walked up to me,
and put my tiny hand inside yours
and you said,
"You'll be okay."

I believed you.

And when I was 15,
I laid in bed and cried
because I was bullied on the first day of highschool.
You walked in holding a box of tissues,
and you sang to me with your beautiful voice,
until I felt okay.

For a second I believed you,
thinking everything would be okay.

At age 17,
someone broke into our house.
As we hid in the closet
I laid frozen in fear.
The only thing keeping me calm
was the smell of your perfume.
As the smell started to fade,
you whispered,
"You'll be okay."

I believed you.

Now, I'm 23,
and you're the one laying down,
but this time,
you're in an old white hospital room
eating stale bread and mashed potatos.
As you ate I watched you
and noticed;
the way the smell of mildew over powers your perfume,
the way your sparkling green eyes sunk into your skull,
the way your fragile hands held my own.

Finally you glanced up at me,
smiling,
you said,
"I'll be okay -
believe me."
you'll be okay // a.s.

Yes, you are gorgeous
Makes me love drunk all day
How you are gorgeous you asked?
Words can't even give a brief explanation

Your gorgeousness
Is beyond this world
Something I never seen
Never to be detected in the milky way
Deflecting every radio waves

Your gorgeousness
Is something that cannot be seen
By the naked eye
Reflecting every traces of light
Causing internal reflection
Forming rainbows around the sky

Your gorgeousness
Is poison
Kills me inside and out
Accelerates the drums of my heartbeat
Nearing me to my dear grave

Yes, you are gorgeous
Can it be true?
I'm not sure if it is affecting everyone else
But, I guarantee you
I have fallen head over heels for you

I see you,
Yes you.
The one trying to hide
from all your troubles.

You’re not fooling everybody.

You with the pound of cover up
Thinking it highlights your natural beauty,
When all it does is shadow your sadness.
And that fake laugh you give when around “friends,"
I see how it doesn't reach your twinkling eyes.
I see you making stuff up just to “fit in”
To be noticed.

You’re not fooling everybody.

I see how the world affects you.
I see how you try to hide all your hard problems
with the way you act.
.
When you talk behind My back,
It breaks my beating heart.
The one who really sees you.
The one who really understands.

You seem to think that I do the same
When all I really want is to show you My love,
My way.

You show everybody your real self,
The one you think is real at least.
When it’s the thing that holds you back the most.

Yet I made you to give your heart.
Can’t you see that?

I see you giving yourself to the wrong kind of love
Love that is not true,
Love that I didn't create to be something beautiful.

I see when your tears topple over onto your pillow from
all the rejection and judgment that has come your way.
Don’t you see how I will never reject you?

It makes my heart and soul ache to soothe you.
I long to comfort you.

Can’t you see how I just want to see the smile I have given you?

Don’t you understand how I just want you to see my love?
My beautiful, perfect love that is Unending
Understanding
Giving
Hopeful
Boundless
Fulfilling
Faithful.

The­re is so much more to my love,
So much more I want to show you.
But you have to search.

You have to be willing,
You have to break through that cage.
You remember,
The cage you have put around your heart.
The heart I made to see Me.

I will never tire of chasing you.
It saddens Me when you try to hide from Me.
But that doesn't mean I won’t always be there,
Willing for you to find Me.

When you hear the wind, creating perfect pitch,
Think of Me.
When you hear a child's pure laughter,
Think of Me.
When you see a man and a woman staring into each others eyes
with the love I have given them,
Think of Me.
When you see that multicolored beauty in the sky after a rain fall,
Think of Me.
When you see, smell, feel, hear, touch,
the beauty I have made for you,
Think of Me.
When you feel that deep longing for something more,
Don’t look for the first thing that comes your way,
Only. Think. Of. Me.
I will certainly be thinking of you.

I have equipped you with all the right things you need to find me.
I will push you in the right direction.
Once you start looking,
You won’t be able to stop.

I will put people in your life.
No, not the ones who only take.
But the ones who I approve of.
The ones who will encourage and always be there for you,
On this terrifying journey called life.

I leave for now,
with this promise.

I promise to be the best friend anyone can ever ask for.
I will never stop bringing you towards me.

All you have to do is
Find Me.
How I long for the love of a girl
Her head over heels
Crazy
Madly
In love
yet My desire is not for her flesh
but only for her worry
her tears
her sensitivity
And for my own perfection through her eyes

Things I love about you:
your tan skin
the wrinkles next to your eyes when you smile
the green color of your eyes
the way you run
the way you walk
your ****** bag V-necks
every single line on your hands
your laugh
the way you dance
your love for St.Augustine, Florida
your addiction to Minecraft
your love of nature
your faith and trust in God
how easily you make me laugh
the way you stare when you think I don't notice
the way you scream at the spring fair
the way you relax when we ride the Ferris wheel
your obsession with lighting things on fire
the way you style your hair
how loving you are with kids
your need to spray paint EVERYTHING
the way you say my name
the way you hug me
your ability to do back flips
how fearless you are
the way you reach out to others
the way you stand up for your friends
the way you stand up for yourself
the brightness of your smile
the way you can instantly light up a room
the way you seem to draw people to you
your jokes
the way your lips purse when you become angry
how easy you are to forgive
how easily you accept others
the way you act with Buddy
the way you act with Chloe and Possum
the way you speak
how you're always there for me
how close you are to your mom
the way you always ask "Why?"
your love for architecture
your willingness to play dominoes over and over
your loving heart
how much you care for others
how unafraid you are to be yourself
your want to explore new houses
how intelligent you are
the way you never give up on me
the way you constantly persevere
how you don't know how attractive you are
the fact that you took all that time to read what
     I've just written
the way you think I don't know you love me.
written over a year ago... just found the paper while cleaning.
I stand alone - a child in need of care
I have rights, but these I do not know yet.
I can only learn them from you,  the people around.
Through the clamour and noise hear me,
I have the right to be heard.

Please teach me that I have the right to be me,
And that I have a right to an equal share.
Help me to express my own feelings,
Even the confusion, hurt and anger within,
In such a way, that I know that I am accepted.

With acceptance, teach me acceptance.
Give me love unconditional,
For I live up to  your expectations of me.
Give me space to grow, and sometimes the right to say no.

May I be proud of my uniqueness,  
And help me understand,
That the names I'm called
I don't have to be.

With integrity, teach me integrity.
With love, teach me love.
Within me is a special gift.
Help me to unlock it,
So I can share, be it a loving smile,
A patient way, or the ability to care.

I am fine. Why wouldn't I be?
I'm a teenager; free and young
I feel like I can do anything I want
I can BE anything I want; reach the stars because I have no limits
or boundaries
but this life can be so ****** up
sometimes I just watch myself crash and burn,
see my body lay limp as the flames dance
I want to drink until my system contains no more natural ****** fluids
If there were such a thing -
I want the poison to drown me as I illuminate my true self in desperation of wanting to accepted; acknowledged
Wishing I had comfort to look to;
I know that no one really cares
I'm latching onto my past;
The souvenirs I have of my happiness are faint
I am fine. Why wouldn't I be?
