resilient and beautiful.
Jenna Leanne May 2014
i am resilient and beautiful
i wonder why my peers are all so twisted
i hear the irrelevant chatter around me
i see shallow minds and cold hearts
i want to reach out. i want change.
i am resilient and beautiful
i pretend to be confident and sane
i feel as though i’m broken
i touch those i love, yet they are slipping away



i worry that i’m lost, confused, stranded
i cry for attention and stability
i am resilient and beautiful
i understand that the water can be rough
i say that diamonds only come from under pressure



i dream of an unknown happiness
i try to show strength and perseverance
i hope to find what i’ve been longing for
i am jenna leanne.

losing my ground
you, lonely star
one of those nights, but i’d see you in the morning
i’d always wanted you to stay
finally you said forever; my superman had come

not just between friends anymore
promise we’ll be fine
my beautiful mess;

adore you,
7 days since I saw that crooked smile
where have you been?
i think of nobody but you, but is your heart for all me?
hear echoes of silence but you’re all I live for
do you miss me?
maybe I’m doing it wrong, sorry for the trust issues
or maybe you belong to the world

Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?
one glass of Ovaltine- oops,  I had three
can we fix it? yes we can!
a plethora of beanie babies always at hand

no play-doh or silly putty on the couch
remember the smell of York patties when you opened the pouch?
Teletubbies is on, I hear the nu-nu
my beloved game boy and Gremlins; Gizmo's my booboo

come along and see what's new
it's me, you, and Zooboomafu
remember when Emily wished on a dragon scale?
that's what started the Dragon Tales

I'd drop anything to catch the Rugrats show
Tommy, Dil, Angelica, Chuckie was kinda slow
Cinnamon Toast Crunch in my bowl
Soccer Boppers and those little ugly trolls

Jell-O pudding and Dragon Ball Z
I knew the Fresh Prince song when I was only three
I still watch SpongeBob and now I'm in high school
just because you keep it real doesn't make that you're uncool.

superficial.
Jenna Leanne May 2014
my heart is heavy though I don’t know why
it’s all been fine, or so it seems
at night I lay in bed and just cry
how I hate waking up from those dreams

it’s all been fine, or so it seems
as my day goes on, I take in what I see
how I hate waking up from those dreams
too trusting and fragile; I don’t always like what’s me

as my day goes on, I take in what I see
heart covered in scars; why do this to myself?
too trusting and fragile; I don’t always like what’s me
keep my feelings superficial for nothing else helps

heart covered in scars; why do this to myself?
dark thoughts lurk; rainclouds in my mind
keep my feelings superficial for nothing else helps
no matter what happens I can’t ever unwind

dark thoughts lurk; rainclouds in my mind
at night I lay in bed and just cry
no matter what happens I can’t ever unwind
my heart is heavy though I don’t know why
sonnet superficial dark rainclouds emotion love night

— The End —
