I laugh at girls who flirt with men as a sport,
Men who use girls for their bodies,
And immigrants who marry for green cards
But in my story,
I am the fool.
I used you to feel better about myself
And you did just that
I snuck around with you behind my parents back
I was leading a double life and I felt great because I was breaking good
You made me feel free
The only expectation you held me to was to not break your heart
But I broke it anyway
Now I find myself missing you more than ever
I was the fool
And you were my gold
I'm a horrible person and I want him back

Freshman year I thought
when I get out of here, I'll know everything
Sophomore year I think
these teachers know nothing
Junior year I'll think
who needs school anyway
By Senior year I have dropped out

I learned
From math to
Science to
Reading to
Art to
Health
But learned nothing in
How To Love

I see teenagers crying
Brokenhearted
They lost their innocence but that's the least of their worries
I see my mother
Single taking care of four
Every man walked out on her
She said she'd never leave us
I discovered that that isn't her choice
To make
Death decided I'm better off alone

Teachers please,
Teach me how to let my guard down
At least long enough for people to fall in love with all the flaws of my personality
Teach me how to let someone hold me when I need to be held
Teach Me how to trust others not to hurt me
OH PLEASE!
**Teach me how to love
Long but its how I'm feeling at this moment so please read and give me feedback

Stopping placing me on this pedestal
Of your high expectations.
This pedestal of your high demands
And harsh words in quotations.
Building faster than I can find
My balance on my feet,
Gripping and grasping on to the edge
Not exactly an acrobatic feat.
You construct this column so high
As I struggle to keep up.
So high up here all alone,
And all I want to do is backup.
Please, I'm begging on my knees,
Up here all alone and I feel a lone breeze.
Only the sky up here on this solitary pedestal so tall,
And the higher you place me, the harder I'll fall...
I just remind everyone that no one is perfect, no matter how much they think they can be.

ive been blinded by dreams that i wish would come true,
words that dont have actions
and lies that dont speak the truth
all i wanted was a me and a you
but all that i got, was pretending too
dont blind yourself with fantasizes that'll never happen

We live in a society full of insecurity
Red lips
Dark eyes
Fake tan.
Forced smiles
Closed eyes
Clenched fists,
Show no weakness
Show no mercy
Small hands on pale stomachs
Eyes constantly searching for ways to rid that extra pound
That extra curve
**** in
Deep breath
Back straight
Every calorie counts.
Is this really the world that we live in?
Is this the life that we wish to lead?
Our lives are no longer determined by the way that we think
They are not dedicated to achieving our dreams
To pursuing our goals
No
The way that we live is based upon the way that we look
And thus, the way that we are treated
We are always going to compare ourselves to another
That is a given
If we don't look good then we aren't happy
Right?
But for others to determine the fates of ourselves depending strictly upon a template of "perfection"?
Perfection is a disease
The very aspect of it plagues your mind
Inhabits your soul
And brings upon an individual an idea of something to achieve
That is nearly impossible to achieve
It is a roller coaster that only goes down
A concoction that only leads to inevitable heartache and pain
A poison that has no known cure
And it hurts
Perfection hurts.

I asked to love the reason
If my love was true, then
Why you betray me?
The answers comes that
It was not me, it was you
Who betray you,
Your expectations does that,...
Its always expectations that breaks a relation,..

If you are single do not stress it, mainly it's because you understand the complexity of the relationship recipe you're a child of destiny and a victim of intuition, morally gifted, respectfully lifted, GPS couldn't follow your mission, eagerly itching; but if they don't cut the standards you know how to dismiss 'em, If they're not sharp enough they have no place in your kitchen; not smart enough they don't deserve a compound sentence PERIOD
It's a difference between being "stuck up" and having suitable standards.

I, myself prohibit
myself to reveal our secret,
to say your full name,
or even write it when I write.
A prisoner of you I am,
Searching in the shadows the caverns of my agony.
When I invoke you when I am alone,
In the dark rock I touch your impassible company.

I cannot see my heart in anyone else's hands
but yours.
The fact that you hold on so tightly
whether you intend to or not
is still there every moment of every day.
Your attempts,

if that's what they are,


to         push      me      away,
areonlypullingmecloser.

I cannot let go of this rope I'm holding on to, this line between me and you.

If my hands set you free you'd no longer be cared for properly

and that's what I fear the most.
