Love Is...
Love is the joy I feel when you finally notice me
Love is hard but never too blind for you to see
Love is a mountain never too high to climb
Love is the relaxation you feel as you drive
Love is that moment you look into my eyes
Love is the carrier of the question why
Love is when you catch me staring too long
Love is art, poetry, and song
Love is the smile you easily make appear on my face
Love is you making my heart race
Love is a battlefield for us all
Love is every season, holiday, and more
Love is such a wonderful feeling
Love is my mind reeling
Love is endless thoughts on us
Love is never giving up
Love is beautiful
Love is you

Help!
I've fallen and
I metaphorically can't get up
I've fallen in love
and I'm stuck on the ground

and no one is around
to pick me back up
or to give me the boost
that I desperately need

I've fallen for a guy that I can't have
I am not his type
and he's everything
that I want in a guy

I'm stuck
on the ground
waiting for the day
that someone picks me up again
and makes me feel worth it

I'm tired of going
down the same path
with every guy out there

I can finally look at you
and
I can finally say I'm done
too.

i look in the mirror.
scared to see what i fear.
me.
ugly.
fat.
imperfect..
me.
i hate the way my stomach isnt flat.
my ribs dont show.
im ugly.
imperfect.
my arms have too many scars
so do my hips
and thighs.
what if they see?
will they notice?
i need to lose weight.
im fat..
imperfect..
ugly.

Years ago, when I lived on the coast,
I made friends with this kid who was a salesman at Sears.
He once sold a coworker his ****.
He was very upset when he told me about it.
(That's the thing about regrets,
they're the type of thing one never forgets.)
We used to hit the bars,
but it never went very far.
He quickly lost interest in it when he learned I wasn't into chasing skirts.
One night we ended up on the beach in our best shoes and shirts,
and he told me how his father had drank himself to death.
It's the type of thing I'll never forget.

I WISH I WAS BEAUTIFUL LIKE ALL THE OTHER GIRLS I PASS IN THE SCHOOL HALLS.
WHY CANT I BE PRETTY?
IM NOT SKINNY ENOUGH.
I WANT TO BE ENOUGH.
PRETTY.
BEAUTIFUL.
GORGEOUS.
BUT I GUESS ILL ONLY BE UGLY.

Hoping, grasping, waiting,
For you,
I lie here,
Heavy,
Only for you.

Waiting, missing, longing,
For you,
I cry here,
Calling,
Only for you.

Longing, fighting, staying,
For you,
I'd die here,
Alone,
Only for you.

Staying, loving, changing,
For you,
I'm fine here,
Happy,
I'm with you.

I feel like people don't take my poetry seriously because of my age.
I'm tired of it.
That is all, Thanks for hearing me out

As I sit here & look back
I should've walked out that door
Instead I stayed & slowly began to crack
In reality I need & deserve more
Month after month, hour after hour
It was my heart I let you devour
As you swept me off my feet
It didn't feel like a game
You fooled me being so sweet
My heart took the blow & you're to blame
I made such a huge mistake
I wonder if this was a devious plan
To see how long I'd stay & all the ******* I'd take
You were good at pretending to give a ****
I'll give credit when credit is due
You managed to pollute my head with fake love, I had no clue
I'm glad it finally ended
A relationship not worth repair
& over time my heart has mended
You're not even a friend, but you don't care
SO THIS IS TO YOU:
We are definitely, definitely THROUGH!
