Poetry

Ironic isn't it?
A poem about poetry?
A small thing talking about
The larger thing that is makes up.

But that's what poetry is.

Poetry is made up of words
That people are afraid to say,
Yet yearn to write because
Everyone needs to let the words escape.

Poetry is a collection of poems,
Which are a collection of words,
Which are a collection of thoughts,
Which are a collection of ideas.

Poetry is a collection of everything that makes a person who he is.

So, yes, this is a poem about poetry
Because poems are about expression
And desire,
And the desire to express.

That's what I have,
A desire for expression.
So, I'm expressing my desire
By writing a poem about poetry.

Poetry is the small thing that makes up the big thing.
That big thing is me,
And people around me.

And we make up the world.

That One Guy

Princess - One:

You asked me
"Why do you call me princess"
Well it's a number of things

One:
You are so beautiful
Not just physically
But mentally

I look into your eyes
I see who you really are
A beautiful women
I look passed the scars
And all the imperfections

But when you look at yourself
All you see are the scars
The imperfections in your skin
And in your head

I want you to see yourself
The way I see you
I want you to treat yourself
The way I treat you
As the beautiful princess you are

And one day
I will marry you, princess
I will become your prince

A Letter to the Boys

This is a letter to all of the boys.
Please, take the time
To read this.

I just want to tell you that
it is okay
to not be okay.

I just want to tell you that
you don't have to be the one
who is always so strong.

I just want to tell you that
it is okay if you tell a girl
exactly how you feel.

I just want to tell you that
it is okay if you
need to cry.

I just want to tell you that
it is okay to need a shoulder
and not be the shoulder.

I just want to tell you that
being a man can come
in thousands of shapes and sizes.

I just want to tell you that
you don't have to live by society's
definitions of being a man.

Be who you are.

Let down your guard.

Realize you don't always have to be strong.

I love you.

Love, me.

Boys, not everything lies on your shoulders.

A Letter to the Girls

This is a letter for all of the girls.
Take the time to read this...
I beg of you.

First things first, love yourself more than anything.
There is nothing prettier than a girl
Who knows her own beauty.

Second, be exactly who you want to be.
There is nothing more inspiring than a girl
Who is always herself, never anyone else.

Third, stand up for what you believe in, no matter what.
There is nothing prettier than a girl
Who isn't afraid to stand apart, or alone.

Fourth, be deserving of respect, and always give it back.
There is nothing prettier than a girl
Who knows how to carry herself.

Fifth, be the girl everyone can rely on
There is nothing prettier than a girl
Who is there for anyone who needs it.

Be the girl I know you can be.

Be the girl you deserve to be.

I believe in you, and you should too.

Love, me.

Girls, you a perfect. Don't ever let anyone tell you that you aren't. I love you.
