I have learned
to find my own
love in the things
we used to love
together, I am
cutting the
strings one
by
one

It only takes one step to walk over the edge
And if your heart is as cracked as the canyon under your feet,
I suggest you back away from it
Because the split rocks scattered around you
Are not good indicators of
The split seconds it would take
For your hands to reach the heavens and
Your face to connect with the ground beneath
And although your only thought is
Whether you would finally be able to fly
And reach the other side
You are only a human
Standing with your barefeet pressed into sand
And your toes kissing a ledge
And although you can't fly right now
That doesn't mean you never will
But it only takes one step to walk over the edge.

I’m not one of those girls that sugar coats everything. 

I tell things straight.

I’m do not let myself be degraded, and I do not act dumb to get a boys attention. 

I’m not clumsy. 

I’m not cute.

I am driven, and hard working. 

I am sarcastic, and stubborn.

I have very dry humor. 

I’m not one of those girls that act like they can throw a punch, but the second that they receive one squeal.

I can very well take and throw whatever I need too.

I refuse to let people tell me no.

I do not give up. 

I would rather be alone, than surrounded by a bunch of people who secretly talk about me behind my back. 

I am myself.

I’m not a girl from society, that tries to be different.
(when in actuality they are all just trying to be each other)

I am different.

I know what my future holds for me.

And I will do all that I can to achieve my goals.

My dreams.

They are mine alone. 

Someone my age does not have the plans 
To achieve the things I want to.

They do not have the drive to do the things I’m reaching for.

I am different.

I know
that
I
am
a
*****.

I can be so mean 
I can bring a grown man to his knees.

But child, you must understand where I have come from. 

What I have been through.

I’m jaded.

Worn down.

I’ve climbed up many high jagged mountains, and fallen down many times on my way up.
This is just who I am. 

On the flip side however;

I can be the sweetest person you’ve ever met.

I’m always the first person to be the shoulder to cry on for everyone.

I give the best advice I know how.

I will take care of you when you 
Are sick. 

I will fix you when you are broken.

Be your best friend 

Or

Worst enemy

No questions asked. 

I’m not scared. 

I’m not a baby. 

I’m a firm believer in everything 

I dare 
To be.

I am different.

And this is me.

3:00 am doesn’t scare me anymore.
I used to lay in bed
watching the clock
tick tock
tick tock
and if I hadn’t fallen asleep
by 2:59
I was afraid.
Afraid because
they tell you
that’s when the demons come out.
Now my only demons
remind me of you.
And I’m not afraid
because they’re beautiful.

dear you, i wonder if i will ever have to specify who you are. if there will ever be another boy i will write so many poems about, so many poems to. you were the first. you haven't been the only, but then again you haven't been the only anything. there have been many since you. so many that i've begun to lost track, there have even been girls. when i met you i was homophobic, but look at me now. look how i've changed since i met you. look how i've fallen. when i fell for you i fell down the rabbit hole. i took too much shrinking potion, yet at the same time i'll always crave more. if i'm smaller when i see you will you love me again? is there even an again to be had? i'll never know for sure, so i've let myself believe that you loved me. that you could again. but part of me knows that our time is over. i can't accept it. i can't let you go. dear. i'm afraid to let you go because there is no one else to hold onto. there is no one like you. i can't breathe. it's been two years and i can't breathe. i don't want it to be three, or four, or more. i want my oxygen back, i want you. i can pray to god a thousand times and i will still want you. only you. pretend that i'm your soulmate and kiss me. one more time?
but i don't when it comes to you. take me. all of me. no matter who i kiss i'm nobody but yours.
