Blemishes
Sue Dec 2013
dots riddle my face
for what looks like a game in a child's activity book
hiding from the world
feeling scarred and broke

these blemishes make up me
some are physical and most our mental
but still every one is so judgmental

they say society is ugly
then I must be society

i feel them stare as walk past
not wanting any moment to last

for every battle i win, a war awaits me
i see the beauty of the sun
just to watch the darkness of the night take over

confidence is key
but where's the lock

these blemishes make up me
some are physical and most our mental
but still every one is so judgmental

i wake up every morning to to rest again
dreading the hours to past
locked up in my own chain

getting called cute or hot
only lasts a moment
while i remember the ugly within

Numbers
Sue Dec 2013
climbing that metal plateau
wish for the number of acceptance
the digit that magazines deems as beauty

10 pounds lost
15 pounds lost

envying those in the double digits
pulling yourself through
skipping a meal or two

everyone see's a beautiful person who god has gave us
while you only see the bad

what you see as mistakes
they see as beauty

the mirror reflects the diamond standing be-forth it
get off the scale
see yourself for who you truly are
numbers don't define perfection

Music
Sue Dec 2013
music fills the air with joy
it brings sadness and happiness
note fly high above the clouds
while down below we dance to its enjoyment

although i may not be good at it
i very much enjoy the emotions it brings

it's funny how a song can bring sorrow at one moment
and a joyous trance the next

Music marks special occasions
remember the song that placed when you met "the one"
or maybe the song playing at the dance when you experienced your first kiss

how such a simple thing can do so much
decades people have embraced such a simple but complex thing
what many people take for granted, most can't live without

— The End —
