i will never understand you,
and you,
you will never try or attempt to
recognize my face.

People have a way of telling you to
look at the bright side,
but they are the same people,
who pushed you out in the first place.

thank you.

Opposites* attract, but we're one in the same.
Brown eyes meet green, saying words our mouths won't.
He nods like he understands and I almost ask him to explain it to me.
Almost, because I nod like I get it too. I don't though
It's clear to both of us how blurry all of this is.
It's easy to see how hard it is to understand.
It's nice to think how bad it could be.
Its odd how normal it feels.
Though it couldnt feel more right to be somewhere so wrong,
I love that I hate to love everything about us.

Of course I've changed
life does that to you, it creates conflicts
some you can handle and some that make you fall through the cracks
I'm not the same freshman girl you once knew, I'm a junior that has been through things
I haven't been in your life for two years
I don't know the same people you know, I don't remember everything
we used to do
You're different too
You've changed not just me.
We all change, we change from life experiences
we change from situations we were once in
we are not the children we were in elementary, did you expect we would stay the same?
Change is everywhere

"Maaa," the bruised four-year-old cried.

Which one?
Tried a first.

I've learned how to see
the world like a canvas.
When staring long at the horizon,
the roads flood my vision like paint
running together in a muddy mess.
The landscape changes,
but everything is still the same.

Never fall,
take,
give,
sacrifice
no choice,
Never fall,
Never change,
Never,
same.
Be the same
That's all we want

No, don't change your hairstyle
Be the same
That's all we want

No, don't have an opinion
Be the same
That's all we want

No, don't argue
Be the same
That's all we want

No, don't show emotion
Be the same
That's all we want

No, don't get angry
Be the same
That's all we want

No, don't run away
Be the same
That's all we want

No, don't cry
Be the same
That's all we want

No, put down that blade
Be the same
That's all we want

No, don't bleed
Be the same
That's all we want

No, take that rope from round your neck
Be the same
That's all we want

No, keep breathing
Be the same
That's all we want

No, they just didn't fit in
Why couldn't they just be the same?
That's all we want

I lied
In all of my time
In every painful moment
I cried wolf inside my mind

I swore that the pain was
unbearable
I was sure that I had felt it all
and me being me

So utterly selfish
So undeniably vain
So wrapped up in myself
I was positive

That I had felt it all

I never thought I would feel
What I felt
On that hazy night
When you told me that

My pain
was shared
and oh god
Oh god

If I spent various nights
With hot tears and nauseating guilt
If I spent days wondering if my mother
would still love me

If I wasting years of my life
brooding
over something that I had every right to mourn about
oh dear

That means
That you did too
And how on this forsaken planet

How
how could any god let you
******* YOU

feel the pain
That only terrible people like
I
Should feel?

If that's the God
That eveyone worships
I want
no part

You looked me in the eye
With the same smile you gave me
A long time ago.
You let me order your coffee for you
I knew which one
It's still the same
From a long time ago.

I laughed about the jokes you told me
You laughed at how unfunny
Mine were
And you playfully hit me
I frowned, you laughed,
I laughed, you laughed again
And said sorry
Just like you did
A long time ago.

The worst of it all
Was that when your hand
Accidentally brushed mine
I shivered
Just like I did
A long long time ago.

Egos are false, they fail you, let you down.
Kick you over, leave you thinking you're better than someone else
Egos are not true, we are all equals, all equally important

Low self esteem is the same in many ways, it lets you down.
Kicks you while you're down, leaves you thinking someone else is better
Your insecurities are not true, we are all important, as well as you.

The only thing left is to be self aware and to know who you are
Become comfortable with yourself, and love yourself
And love everyone around you, including your enemies
