She wasn't the kind of girl
You would usually notice
She wasn't super popular
Or loud
Or "hot"
Or super friendly towards everyone
Or surrounded by tons of friends
She was the kind of girl
You couldn't help but fall in love with
Once you got to know her
Because of her quirky personality
And her dry sense of humor
And the way her whole face lit up
When she laughed
Because of how much love and hate
She held inside of her
For the world and the people in it
As well as the way she smiled
At the most random-seeming things
And how her eyes sometimes
Clouded over
"What's wrong?"
"My mind's just stormy today"
Is all she would say
She was the kind of girl
Your mind would register as
"Trainwreck"
But you wouldn't care,
Because she was the kind of girl
You would find only in books
And you couldn't bear
To lose her
Hi I didn't really know where I was going with this when I wrote it but I actually really like it. Feedback would be awesome.

There's a box, a relatively old and beaten down piece of cardboard.
It's been rained on, ****** on, thrown up in.
This box is weak around the edges, it's barely holding up.
This box is one reality is threatening to crush.
It's the one people put you in,
so that in the next minute they can write you off.

I know this person they want to fit in that worn old box,
it's the same box I fit in.
They're not different.
I tore up my box,
I realized I wanted several things,
and the box, with it's weakening walls and ideals,
wanted to shame me for it.

I stomped and tore up that box,
because it said things I didn't agree with.
It complicated simple delights, like love, pain, hurt, anger and regret.
It hurt my soul and entire being.
When being in the box, is
more harmful than helpful,
crush that **** up.
Lay it flat,
and wall all over it's weak walls.
Feel it compress and bend to your will.
Free yourself of the **** and *****.
It's the only way to live,
Outside the box.

No, no you don't understand.
What most people fail to realize is that there is more than one type of love. The love I feel for my parents is different from the love I feel for my friends, which isn't anything like the love I feel for the boy who's captured me attention. Even still, I love each of my friends differently. The English language only has one word to label a hundred thousand different feelings. Love is a broad term, and I will use it broadly. Most people would probably say I'm just throwing it around, that I don't actually love the people I'm saying it too, but I do. I love them with all my heart, and there's very little in this world that could ever change that.
