~Be You, Don't Change For No One~ Smoking butterflies Lilted with jade poison Swirling into my jeweled lungs I smile; high on madness .. No one can defeat me now The drug monster Pulsing thru my veins I feel I can rule this land .. Though in reality There is no such thing .. Metaphors spill from my lips . . . . . . my blood .. Eyelids fluttering Like the wings of a dove Everything is blurry White walls; nothing .. I scream Confused Shattered Lost .. In pain; lungs bursting Mind racing Heart beat beating--- .. I'm slowly dying My paper body Inflamed Essence of butterflies .. Floating around me The ones I smoked The ones I inhaled They are killing me; whispered I .. Though I am nothing but a page Filled with Inkblots Smudged . . . My pen comes to save me; yet again .. It rewrites me Stitching new stories Over my old scars Creating a new me .. Ink kisses my lips Her chemicals seeping into my papery skin Bleeding into me I'm becoming a scroll .. Decorated with so many rules .. As I sigh My pen stabs into me Becoming me I then scream ashes; everything fades black .. Awakening . . . I've become a notebook Staring up at myself I watch my own face .. Intense Dreamy Thoughtful . . . Disturbed .. Pen in my hand I open myself Taking the pen The one, which stabbed me .. Ink bleeds Onto my pages I feel my pain, My obsessions, my happiness . . . .. I watch as the spirit of writing Leaves my body Folding itself between my pages Like a bookmark .. The pen falls from my hand Landing on me I watch mystified As the pen whispers .. "No one can defeat you now This is your land, Your rules, your soul Welcome to the notebook life' .. "You wanted something better So I remade you" .. -B-but this is not what I want- I plead; trying to cry But notebooks don't cry Only the ink can cry for me; the ink from my pen .. The pen chuckled "Then my friend . . . Be careful what you wish for You didn't want to be human" .. "So I made you Into something better You are useful now You are popular" .. I tried to scream But I saw myself get up, snatching the smiling pen I closed myself Only to be open again when needed . . .

-Be You- Don't change for anyone only for yourself- [The poem is a bit strange but its about not changing for anyone, just be you, because you are beautiful, Sometimes I don't like who I am but I have to remind myself that I'm different . . . you get the idea]
