If people really are like grenades waiting to
Explode, I don't think I have anyone
That is close enough to hurt,
Helping sounds more
Accurate when your friends are
Far and the grenade is
Weak.
inspired by john green's book "the fault in our stars"
I'm crying because
you're there
and I'm here
and all I want
is to feel your lips
on mine
I looked at you
and I said
"****"
I waved.
I waved twice.
did you wave back?
no.
you looked away.
I stood on those old bleachers
at that basketball game.
my friends stood around me
huddled close
but I was alone
so alone
so very alone.
I can't relate to them.
I can't pretend to be happy.
I can't pretend I'm not thinking of you.
I can't make conversation
because I'm too awkward.
I can't cheer
and pretend I know how to play a game I don't care about.
I can't pretend I don't remember you sitting right there
on the bottom of the bleachers
talking to the one person that hurt me most.
you
moved
away
and I stayed here
and I thought of you
and I wished for you
and I dreamed of you
and I talked about you
and I told my friends about you
and I heard your name
and I saw pictures of you
and I fell in love with you
and I became sad.
I felt ugly,
stupid.
I felt useless,
empty.
you said sweet dreams,
goodnight.
you called me an angel,
beautiful.
and you made me feel whole.

Some people are insecure
About their ****** features
Their nose
Their eyes
Their chin
Their ears
Their mouth
Maybe others are insecure
With their body type
Perhaps they don't like
Their arms
Their legs
Their ****
Their chest
Their stomach
And so on
A few are destined to hate
Their distraught mind
The one that makes them go
Nuts
Their thoughts get them in trouble
With themselves
With their family
With their friends
With their peers
Some folk tend to really
Self critique
Self judge
Self hate
To the point of destruction
I wish some people could realize
That they're beautiful in another person's eyes
And the things that they hate
Are the things we others love
I'm guilty too.
