Your cheeks are too round and your hair is too flat.
That dress you tried on? It makes you look fat.
Your pimples are spotted a mile away.
Don’t you dare leave the house without make up today.

Close your lips when you smile, they might notice your teeth.
It’s all about looks, no one cares what’s beneath.
Just be more outgoing, maybe then you’ll fit in.
You have to be perfect in order to win.

A good education? You’ll never pull through.
That’s why your mom’s disappointed in you.
Get off your phone and go read a book.
Who wants a wife that doesn’t know how to cook?

You’re not good enough, that’s why you’re alone.
Should’ve just settled, now your chances are blown.
No one will want you, so just **** it up.
You need to start acting a little-

SHUT UP!

She Writes
I’d rather write than speak
My pen is always responsive
My ink doesn’t judge my mistakes
My paper doesn’t argue
My lines never cross me
My sentences never disappoint
And my words will never leave me

the moment a poet
falls in love with you

is the moment
you live

a world of cotton
lies above
white puffs
s c a t t e r e d into the blue.
I watch them move
from a world below
and wonder
if they’re watching me too.

The Sun sees me at my best,
  but the Moon....
the Moon knows all my secrets,
  and loves me nontheless....

Am I just
writing what I feel,
Or am I
writing to feel?
