I am scared of thunder storms
and I can't sleep when it rains.
I hate my smile
my hair
my eyes
my fingers
my stomach
and my thighs.
But lord do I love my laugh.
I love to sing
and to write poetry.
I know everything about Harry Potter
I've never thought that kissing could mean so much
I gave kisses away like nickels in a jar marked "spare change"
I preferred cuddling
to intimate affection
and I loved being the little spoon.
I care too much
or not enough.
I have to click with someone to be their friend.
I think I am easily replaced
I am easily replaces
I hurt easily.
I don't like myself.
I love the colour yellow.
I question my faith.
I'm scared of death
and what comes next
when I'm buried six feet under.
I love the stars
but am afraid of space
wondering what is out there.  
I never see the big picture
just the little details in-between.
I don't know what I want to be
my family has little hope for me.
I know every word to Disney's Aladdin
I love The Little Mermaid.
You were the one thing I thought was fine
that didn't think so low of me.
But I was wrong
and now you are gone
because everything I was
wasn't enough to make you stay.
I am scared to open up to people, especially in relationships because if it doesn't last that person still knows so much about you and you can't take that back. They now know all you hopes, fears, dreams and nightmares and they can just walk away from it all without flinching, while you are left with part of yourself missing because they have it with them.  And they. No. Longer. Care.
