My style says a lot about my personality,
I agree.
I love sweaters,
long sleeves.

They comfort me when the cold has no mercy on my skinny arms.
They cover up the cuts both you and I made.
It's also closed and fully covered,
like me.

Sometimes I admit it gets warm so sleeves had to be rolled up,
but then a new part of me is exposed
parts of me that I love but you don't.
So at times I take the heat,
not risking being bad
but just because you don't like it doesn't make it bad
so why then do you scold me!

"We live in a warm country so sweaters aren't seen often"
you always use the weather as an excuse for me to take off my sweaters
then make scrapes on my exposed arms.
but now it's going to take more than just the weather to stop me from wearing sweaters.

Yes, I do intend on managing what I wear
All those times you thought  wasn't listening, I heard you!
I promise you, in time I'll take it off;
but not before I heal.

slap me and my face turns red
pinch me and I hold that spot,
do you enjoy this
or do you just not know,
it hurts and I cry.
shout at me
make me whimper
crouch down in my own corner,
it hurts and I cry
now you are being slapped
you are being tortured
I try to help but
yes, it hurts
so now all you do is cry.

it's too bright out there
the birds are wide awake,
I can't sleep
I need to laugh
I need to play!
but I was told to stay in bed.
below the covers are dark
but I know it's not night
I want to see what's out there!
but I was told to stay in bed.
it's clearly day!
and no one is watching
plus I don't see anything wrong with it.
Look mom's outside
and so is my sister
why must I be here,
no! I mustn't
but why not
aren't I meant to be free?
The ground feels cold
and my feet are bare,
but I like it.
the door is looked but I know where the key is
the wind outside is cold, but I love it
I feel so free!
Wait what's that?
Ouch!
look out!
Now my feet are hurting and my head is bleeding
I should have stayed in bed.

smiles meant to be destroyed
and hearts meant to love
I'm not meant to be understood but you did
not meant to be tamed but you did
human, not meant to hurt but we do.

life exchanged for a life time
a promise, a kiss, one last touch of it all
destroyed by pain comforted by love
**** it all
see it
but yet to learn it all.

innocent waiting to be found
be threatened
the bold waiting to be challenged

warriors it's your time to fight
time to bleed and give your last breath
to be determined

then be thanked
to be a legend
it's time not for the swift but for those who endure.

I sat there overlooking my world
with more emotions than the hair on my head
I saw the pretty girls with so much and I felt like so little
saw the smart and the brave and felt like a stupid coward
Saw God and felt loved and completed.
I no longer seek difference in this world but choose to make it.
I refuse to believe that all you said was impossible is true>>>
I've been proving you wrong my whole life
they said that I couldn't be that loud
never that brave
but my desire is grater than my doubt.
Never can I love so much
care so much
hurt, then dare to love even more.
It all paid off didn't it
for all I loved came back to me
and love me up to this day.
For all I helped help me
and I dare not say
what I've been through
because your pity I do not acquire
but rather your hope,
that you can,
and if you want to, you will.
"where there's a will there's a way"
and countless doors are open.
try again, smile again, love again, be free again!
For failure is a stage we are yet to overcome.
My joy goes on and I accept not defeat!
That doesn't mean I've had it easy.
To the broken boy who cries by the lake
and the girl who yearns to die everyday
and to the mother who can't get anything right>>>>
HOPE IS YOURS.
