even before i went outside
i could tell that it was going to be nice

i put on a loose t-shirt
and felt live air
on my skin
for the first time
since last year

left the house
without needing a coat

the earth is coming alive again
and so is my spirit
**
Tell me I'm stupid
Ugly, or that I don't matter
Tell me I'm worthless
That I'm getting fatter
But don't tell me
That I'm not trying hard enough
Because the **** I'm going through
Is pretty rough
And I'm doing my best
And giving it my all
And it's not my fault
You only notice when I fall
I love him.
But secretly I adore you.

We are different.
But you and me are parallels.

He is complex
But you just understand.

He is all style
But you are substance.

He is all facts
But you are creative.

I don't know what do to.
But I know I'm lying.
I AM SCARED
TO LOOK AT
MY NAKED BODY
IN THE MIRROR
You can't hold the torrent,
Of salty water,
Captive.

You can't keep it all,
Locked up,
Inside.

You can't stop the hidden,
Tides from,
Rising.

You can't think,
So let go,
*Just cry.
What is us?
Are we crazy?
Why do we stay?
Do we need one another?

Your mother hates me
My mother loves you
Are we drawn together?
Like magnets.

I love you
You love me
I hate you
You hate me

Opposites attract
Is that a fact?
Or a saying
Just to explain people that should be apart?

They can never tear us away
Or apart
We are one now
We decided that it would be just us two

Morphed into one
Lonely are those on the outside
We are two halves of one whole
You, scientific, me artistic

You can go
Anytime
Call time
Go your own way

But, then they wouldn't tear us apart
You would
With bitter kisses
With bitter tears

Now you've done it.
Why do you like stealing things?
First it was my pencil.
Then my notebook.
And then you took both
And wrote me a note
A message
That I remember distinctly said:
"Hey. We should go out. Want to?"
And as I grabbed for my purple ink pen
To write back "Sure,"
I realized
You had stolen my pen as well.
A love of mine smelled like
Summertime Strawberries
In the middle of fall.
I don't need to be what makes you happy
I just need you to be happy.

I'll try my best to be a catalyst.
