the end is near
and so your destiny has become clear,

study hard, and be the diligent girl daddy knows you are,
lead with your head, and guard your heart,
run far from here, until we are miles apart
don't ever look back, there is nothing left here.

the end is near.

you can set your roots deep in an attempt to hold on

but

even the strongest of trees can be forced to bow to the wind.

Not really sure if this can be classed as a poem? more of an observation but I like it anyway :)

a simple truth

It's not a coincidence
                                     that the pretty ones
                                                                       were never told that
                                                                                                           true beauty lies *within

What do you say
when there remains nothing left to say?
How do you heal
the wounds without fueling the fire?
How do you mend
a broken heart when there are so many pieces missing?
What can i do
to just be there for you?

*Family*

Lies underpin love,
Love underpins lies,
Yet
Life is bliss
When the love meets the lies,
the lies meet the love,
in a head on collision
at the dinner table.

I can never be
what you wanted me to be
but there is one thing i can be
- *ME

A Whole Lot of Thinking

You are the one I
Think
of when I
Think
of the one I would like to
Think
of me as I
Think
of you.
