Stop
Tearing me apart
Only to ask why I can't
Put myself back together

They never show
Their real emotion
While people watch
Their every motion

Everything they have
Is fake
If they'd notice
They would break

They're living in
A fake reality
They need to wake up
To actuality

We always talk
Behind their backs
If they knew
They would crack

They think we love them
They think they're pretty
But they really don't
Deserve our pity

My wildest dream is this
That I would mean to you
What you have always been to me

What pictures hold
are the memories that even hands could not hold
they are the raw emotions that couldn't be remade
they're the words left unsaid
even after the colors have drained and left to fade.

What pictures hold are the last twinkles of those eyes
after they've closed for good.
They're the happiest memories of our friends and family
the ones they wished for us to remember them, as we should.

They're the good times
they're the worst times
they're the pictures that could end the peace and start a war
or speak of unspeakable beauty and shake humanity to its
core.

These are what pictures hold that even hands could not
these thousands of words that could be said
if only they were not forgot.

They're the first sparks to a raging fire
or calm waves of a gentle sea
these are the last of the windows
to a fading memory.

She Writes
Yes I am clingy,
But you will never find someone
There for you like I will be.

Yes I am needy,
But when you need reassurance
I’ll be full of soothing words.

Yes I am jealous,
But you will never find someone
More loyal than me.

Yes I am possessive,
But you will never find someone
That values you like I do.

Yes I have flaws, I am human. Please don’t fault me for loving the way I do.

NOTE to the judges:



Before you judge me,

for being too thick, too thin

too manly or too feminine

too shy, too wild

too dark or too white



too simple, too fake

By no means, your piece of cake.

too short or too tall

Never enough,  giving it all.



My net worth, before you guess,

I thought I'd just let you know this.



" I wasn't born to please your eyes,

I was born to be magic in disguise."

In goes my heart,



Here I turn the ****-



Pop!




Out goes your love,
Enveloping me with your warmth
Definitely not made during breakfast.

Sorry

Dear Reader,
I'm sorry
I'm sorry because I get too easily attached
I'm sorry because I speak too much and say too little
I'm sorry for being so horrible
I'm sorry that sometimes I can't hide the anger, the rage
I'm sorry I never told you
I'm sorry that if I die,
I wouldn't have told you
How much I love you
How I could never hold you enough
How you're my light
I'm sorry that I might die
and it might be my fault
I'm sorry for saying sorry so much

,sorry- me
Being crucified by society
Just because I'm different
Labelled me as an outcast
Just for the way I think

They want me to bow down
And follow their rules
But how can I
If all they do is deceive

We live in a free world
Yet no one knows freedom
We claim we our own person
Yet we all slaves

When will we realise
Choice is but an illusion
And society a dictator
