Give me my Romeo. And when I shall die,
Take him and cut him out in little stars,
And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night
And pay no worship to the garish sun.

You see the funny thing about our world
is not that we hate each other
it's that we have been taught to despise someone
who doesn't believe the same as we do.

finding out the one you love
is different than what you thought
is kind of like finding out
"daddy's not a superhero"
you feel sad
disappointed
scared
and worst of all like it was all
a lie.

I'm not the girl who thrives on being in a relationship
I'm not the girl who moves around like a ship
I'm not the girl who just "takes a dip"
just for the sake of trying.

I'm not the girl who will kneel and bow
I'm not the girl who will wipe the sweat off his brow
I'm not the girl who will just let him plow
right on over me

I'm the girl who will drive you mad
I'm the girl who isn't "bad"
I'm the girl who makes the fads
I'm the goody-goody

I'm the girl who is still a ******
I'm the girl who will continue to burgeon
I'm the girl who will never go to a surgeon
just so I can be the same

I'm the girl who will give you all my heart
I'm the girl who been broken from the start

so love me if you can
I don't expect you to understand
That I don't need you to be "grand"
I just need you to be mine.

I love the oppritunity that comes with a blank canvas
White
Blank
And then I have all these colors to choose from to bring it to life!

Which ones will I choose?

it's sad
how when you talk to someone
for the first time
and then after you realize
you see them in the hallways
everyday
or they're walking past your door
looking grey
smiling at you as you pass
as they carry their tray
keeping their head down in the back of class
trying to keep their feelings at bay

We tend to ignore things that we can't see
but I think what it come down to
is that we can see
we just choose not to.

Broken heart
Means a brand new start
But this heart is not wanting to restart

I'm trying so hard to mend
I'm trying not to allow a bend
I'm trying to start a new trend
The trend of you and me

Now I lay alone
Like a dog with no bone
Like a trail but no home
I am lost with out you to call as my own

I wish you could see
The you and the me
That I always wanted there to be
But you have always wanted to be free of me

I guess the last line may not be true
That may not really be you
But if it's not true
Than how come I'm so blue?

Oh beautiful people,
take a deep breath.

Cheap eye shadow smells
and chick fil a dates
scuffed sneakers
and climbing rusty gates

clumped mascara
and bright blue eyes
red and white sirens
tear stains from late night cries

yelling at you
you yelling at me
we're too tired to feel
anything but free.

Cheers!
To the moments I spent alone
Cheers!
To the times I laughed in your home
Cheers!
To the times I spent with you
Cheers!
to the times you were there when I was blue
Cheers!
To the time I climbed the watch tower
Cheers!
To the time when we picked flowers
Cheers!
To the late night bench talks
Cheers!
To the haters who tryed to mock
Cheers!
To the times I cried myself to sleep
Cheers!
To the memories that I get to keep
Cheers!
To when you stuck with me during their fight
Cheers!
For him showing me the light
Cheers!
To the fun i've had

And cheers!
To the fun that's yet to come.

We chew on words
We chew on thoughts
We chew them like curds
We chew a lot.

We chew on gum
We chew on emotions
We are so dumb
We just go through the motions.

We chew on our fingers
We chew on rubber bands
We start to linger
We honestly just don't understand

That chew means to think
and think means to chew
I know before I even blink
That I will always love you.

Despite all the hurting
Despite all the bad
Despite all the leaving
Despite all the sad

There is still healing
There is still good
There is still staying
There is still those who would

rather stay weak
when they could be strong
those who chose right
when they could chose wrong

there are two kinds of people in this world
those who do
and those who don't.

what is it about me
that others can't seem to keep?

Everything, everything
is waiting for you.

"And maybe Christmas isn't something that's bought,
maybe
pperhaps it is something much more."

Feel the air on your skin
let it sink in
And then begin the trip of a lifetime.

I was told today that I can't be both a Feminist and a Christian
"Really Lexi, this again
Why can't you just pick one of them
You don't know whay you're saying."

"No you are not" is what they say
to me again and again everyday
"Why don't you just go away
be normal and go and play."

But I'm trying to tell you who I am
I don't expect you to understand
but why do you make me feel as small as sand
instead of just listening

You act as if I've commited a crime
as if these words can't be mine
as if my mouth should have a bedtime
you shut me down

What is wrong with people today
we're so divided in every single way
all I want to do is say
Please end this destructive fray

But I'm "just a kid"
people didn't act how I did
that sat still and pretty and hid
if they ever did something that was forbid

As much as I hate it when people are mad
maybe don't try to make others feel bad
then we can all be in harmony and glad
and we can all gad
together

but this wonderful sounding universe
where all of us live without having to curse
cannot become properly versed
until we stop judging others first

I am a feminist
I am a Christian
I am proud of both
So hear me and listen

Nothing you say or do
will convince me I'm not
because hunny let me tell you
I am tougher than you thought.

Other girls are not my competition
I stand with them
Not against them.

They fall like bullets
They hit like rain
They feel like defeat
They cause me pain

They aren't angry
They aren't sad
They aren't happy
They just make me feel bad

You make me feel like crap
You call me a ****
I'm tired of feeling worthless
Because your mouth will not shut

I am just tired of crying
I’m tired of life
I have things going on
But telling you would cause nothing but strife

I'm done listening to you lie
I'm done listening to you speak
Because anytime you do
You are just making me feel bleak

I guess i'll finally listen to you
To what you said when I was young
For you spoke nothing but true
when you said to me

No one can make you cry
If you tell them goodbye.

There are so many things
I'd like to say
but not all of them shall come
at least not today

I met you while I was young
and I had soon begun
to realize that we would always be friends
until the death of the sun

This poem may not be the daily
It may not even be read
but at least I know that
when i'm with you
i'll never fail to be fed

that last line was random
quite like you and me
but oh Han I love us
to the bottom of the sea

we play in the snow
we dance in the rain
we laugh at our jokes
and we love each other all the same

you cry in movies
you love to read books
you are always yourself
even if you may get looks

you love like no other
I have ever seen
you show off you Faith
even when others are mean

I look up to you
in so many ways
I am in a constant state
of an unintentional daze

we laugh
and we have cried
we have lived
and we have bide

I have known you since I was young
but oh best friend hang tight
because our story hasn't even begun

So many times I am tried
and I have a reason to cry
but yet I don't
I stay afloat

I am honestly fine
I have you as mine
I have so much time
to feel happy

You bring me joy
I no longer have to be coy
because I feel happy when I'm with you

I’m sure it would be hard to love someone like me when you couldn’t even love yourself long enough before you gave up

Hands shaking
heart broken
not by a lover
but by someone other

so lost
so hurting
i'm tired of feeling
i'm tired of thinking

I will just go to sleep
and it'll all be gone
if I close my eyes I can escape
but not fast enough

I wake up and cry
because right before my eyes
there he is
haunting me

Positivity
                   is
                       key
                               or
                                      so
                                             they
                                                      say
      ­                                                       but
                                                       has
                                                 the
                                         they
                                  that
                           say
                   ever
experienced
                                      
                         ­                                                                 ­                         pain?

my innocence was taken
when I heard the first door slam.

my heart was broken
when I saw the first man

my mind was buzzing
when I felt the first scream

and my childhood was taken
when I saw the first leave.

I'd love for you to notice me
I'd love for you to care
I'd love for you to laugh with me
To compliment my hair

I don't need you to complete me
I just wish you could see
the light I see inside of you
the way you pull me through and through

I love your eyes and how they look
like you never stopped to frown
but all I seem to see of you now
is you hanging your head down

I'm really trying to stop caring for you
I'm trying to give up
but if I stopped doing this
It would be like growing up

Because I feel your always there
standing in peripheral view
but
keeping you
loving you
is like no longer allowing yourself
to see hue

Looking at the star
I heard him wisper
"You'll shine as bright as me someday."

In my heart
I know that I shouldn't love you.











I guess I don't know enough.

It’s a dangerous and absolutely terrifying  thing to love and be loved

My skin
Her face
My legs
Her waist

All so different
how will ever I match up

I'm different
and I should love what I am
Dark hair and eyes
Beautiful caramel colored skin
I wish I didn't have to lie
Do I really want to be where they've been?

But they're all so perfect
Her long legs thin
Her flat stomach
Why can't I be them?

My curvy waist
My strange smile
My weird laugh
I always look vile

I want to talk to them
but i'm not plastic
I need to go hit the gym
before I do something drastic

Not only do they see me ******* up out here
they don't see any bit of my heart
but what I constantly fear
is that they wont think i'm a work of art

I never stop crying
trying to stop my pronounced fate
I'm so tired of trying
to let go of this internal hate

I'm a woman of color
A woman judged by her skin
I look at my self and think i'm duller
because everyone knows you can only be beautiful
when you look just like them
so simialr

You become a involuntary twin.

The irony of it all is this;
No matter how many times you stabbed me
No matter how many bullets you shot me with
No matter how many punches you threw
I would never stop loving you
I never picked up the knife
I never would touch the gun
I never would lift a finger
To hurt anyone
And especially with you
Who I so deeply cared for
I would never hurt you
I would always adore

"I wish I had a boy."
She said.
"I wish that someone loved me more than the crashing waters of the ocean.
More than Art and the beautiful music.
More than the stars in the sky that twinkle like diamonds at night.

More than life itself."

Then a voice that seemed to come from the sky said these two words,


                                            "I do."

I wish I wished I had it in me
To just hurt you how you hurt me

There comes a point and time
where you just have to stop.

Stop loving them
Stop worrying about it
Stop trying so hard.

I'm over you
just like Jennifer Garner is over Ben Affleck.

Your smile may not light up a room
but it sure does light me up.

I am lost
I am tired
I have finally
lost the fire

I am done of feeling so blue
I feel I have lost me
and I feel I have lost you

I wish that you could understand
How lost and tired I truly am

The funny thing about you is
when you flirt
you don't really want me
all you want is a relationship
and my body
and ***, that's not me
let me help you to see

Put yourself is this scenario
it's you and me and I tell you I have to go
but you can't except that I don't want you as my beau
because you've always been a lothario

Mi madre siempre
loves me
when I don't deserve it
holds me
when I don't fit
sticks up for me
when other won't
hugs me
when others don't.

Mi madre siempre
makes sure i'm okay
even if we've fought
makes sure I eat
even when i'm not
makes sure I understand
even when I do
loves me more than anyone
it will forever be us two.

You were a red flag
all by yourself
trying to convince me you loved me
while still putting me on the shelf

don't know why I ignored the sirens
or you running from the lights
I guess I never noticed
Or maybe I was blined by my wanting for
Mr. Right.

You are my favorite Emma that exists

You are no matchmaker
like Jane Austen might suppose
you don't succeed in life
by helping the love lives of bros

You are no blonde
like Emma Roberts is
you have brown hair and beautiful eyes
you are crazy smart, some sort of a ****

You are no dancer in a musical
like Emma Stone
You are more of a marvelous human
who has a mind of her own

You aren't a wizard
like Emma Watson was
you are the kind of person
that is nice just because

Despite what they have said
Despite what they say should sink
I will love my Emma
without having to think.

I hate her because you said you loved her
And I don't even know her.

"You know that's the funny thing about decisions,
you never seem to have to talk yourself into the right ones."

If you really know me you should know that I love the stars
I love sitting outside at night no matter what season
Whether i'm on a pile of flowers,grass,leaves, or snow
And i love for you to know
That to me you are a star

no matter how mad I am at you
for all that you put me through
I will forever think of you
as a star

who, you may ask is this star you speak of
they shine so bright
they fly higher than a dove
sit tight
I will tell you my love

I love that he keeps me smiling
I love that no matter where you are
the thought of you seems to warm me
because he is the closest thing to astral
that there ever will be

You being gone
made me fear the dawn
I was scared to wake and find you back once more
but you never did I guess I was a bore

I'm sick of having to sit back and think
being forced to take gulps of you poisonous drink
I want to be wanted by you like I should have been
I guess I wasn't good enough
please try again

I was swimming in the dark
treading water knowing there was no spark
I was all alone

until I was showed home

Ever since that day
I have been remade
I have been showed there is another way
To fill the void that you had made

So carry on to your rock
I don't want to make you stop
I don't care if you here or there
I have a new daddy who lives up stairs.
