I can’t wait for the day
When you look at me and say,
“I’m proud.”
And I want you to say it loud
Like you truly meant the two words
So I’ll wait because my heart still hurts
I can’t wait

Your only 14
So why do you cut your legs
Where people can’t see?
Your only 14
So why do you cry
Because you’re “ugly”?
Your only 14
So why do you worry about life
When you haven’t lived half of it?

I’m only 14…
I cut my legs out of guilt
And don’t want anyone to see it
I’m only 14
I cry because I’m ugly-
I mean have you seen the other girls?
I’m only 14
I worry about life
Cause this is not even half…

If pressure makes diamonds
How am I still coal?

I know this life is mine
And I’m stuck with it
But I’m not really fine
I’m not even a poet—
There’s cuts on my thighs
And I try to act clueless
It’s nothing but lies
Cause I’m nothing but reckless—
I’ll say that it’s okay
But I spent the night crying
And feel like **** everyday
I swear I really am trying—
I’ve been picked on as a kid
I was your average nerd
I was never disappointed
When they spit out a cruel word—
Look at me now
I’m still so ugly
Yet I’ve made friends somehow
And they all are quite lovely—
No one will listen
When I even talk
Because people don’t care about opinions
Even my real friend is a fraud—

Guess I’ll be lonely for all of my days
But I swear I’m going to quit someday

Nothings slower then the present
And nothings faster than the past

Out of all the words in the dictionary
There’s no way to describe the way
A mother loves her child—
The way she looks at her child is
Almost like magic
You can tell how much she loves them
Just through her gaze—
A mothers child is her oxygen
She lives and breathes for them
And the child grows from that
Learns from their mother
No matter how stressed
Or angry she is
She will always love her child

My boy is mine
And I love my boy—
But I have a secret,
My boy doesn’t know
He’s mine
