I used,
I used to feel so alone.
unwanted.
unnoticed.
until, one day.
I met her.
she wasn't like the others.
she thought I was,
kind,
smart.
she didn't believe,
the words others spoke.
looked straight threw them.
with an open-mind.
now,
I feel wanted.
somewhere,
somehow.
im, no longer
afraid.
little does she know,
I was on the edge.
between
life and death.
one kind heart.
changed it all.
saved me.
thank you.

your heart,
it happens to be,
the size of your,
fist.
but, its no surprise.
your supposed to fight.
for love.

(l.j.t.)

words.
we speak them,
but do we always mean,
what we speak?

words.
they can brighten,
but, they darken as well.

words.
they are complicated.
is it easier just to not,
speak at all?

(l.j.t.)

but, who needs fathers anyway?
we "fatherless daughters"
we are strong.
we don't need any man.
we fight.
on our own.
everyday.
the never ending battle.
but, in the end
who needs them?

(l.j.t.)

You always point out every flaw dad
Always reminding me of everything I do wrong
You never cared how I felt dad
Always comparing me to someone else
I already know how stupid I am dad
Believe me I’ve been told thousands of times
That’s why I want to move away from you
You’ve made me feel alone dad
While still saying you’re my friend
I cared but you didn’t
That was my problem I accept responsibility for that
But the hardest part about letting go is that
I’ll never hear you running after me
Deep into the cold

why,
why did you force me.
why did you take my,
innocence.
stole me.
now, I feel used.
abused.
why,
why did you choose me.
why couldn't you except,
"no."
you turn my words into a broken,
"..yes.."
leaving me with nothing left,
to say but,
why.
