You're a shattered mirror
Broken & cracked in so many places
The reflection now seen is distorted
and not what it used to be
yes, it can be pieced back together,
but even then it's not whole again
There are still flaws & fractures
I'm here to help you fix them
or leave them
because you are you either way
I guess in some fashion, we're all shattered glass
Messed up & broken
but still beautiful

From the smooth, delicate texture of fallen rose petals
To the soft, gentle blow of the spring wind,
God knew what he was doing when molding the earth
Looks can be deceiving
It's a beautiful haven
filled with love
and kindness
and controversy
and hate
How could something so striking be so deceitful?
With beauty, comes a price
I will choose not to
conform to society or
accept the wrongs of the world
Culture doesn't own me
God does
and He is my reason to live on this
poisonously gorgeous earth
In hope of a perfect heavenly home later

Making no sense is your forte
One day you're there
One day you aren't
You're like a wind
Rushing through my bones
Leaving me chilly
& the next day bare

Why are girls compared to flowers?
We may be sensitive and sweet
But we are tougher than a diamond
We should be compared to
the wind
or the sky
so beautiful
& powerful
& necessary

I yearn for something ever so strong
and adventurous
I want the feeling of
loving someone so much
that you just look at them
and think, "wow, I'm so lucky"
I feel like I could've had that
with you
If you'd stuck around longer
I guess circumstances really do change things

On this day,
with this unusually warm weather,
I'm reminded of what you used to be like,
what I used to know you as,
your tan skin,
your hazel eyes that
remind me of two worlds colliding,
your short, funny looking hair,
everything reminds me of you,
or atleast what I knew you as

Who are you
to pick on that person for things they can't change?
Who are you
to be so shallow & superficial?
Who are you
to not see the pain you cause with your words?
Who are you
to hurt the innocent?
Who are you
to hurt anyone?
Who are you?
Respect others
Spread love
We're all sisters & brothers
Share your thoughts,
while listening too,
this world wasn't made,
For just me or just you
It's a temporary home
That we can't take for granted
Because we will leave one day
And all that's left is what we've implanted
our thoughts & ideas
truly can change the world
everyone is a voice
waiting to be heard
