fragile
I looked around your room
And saw a  poem
Saying you were the troublesome ****
That no one really wanted.
And all I could think was,
if you were the unwanted ****,
Than I am the grass
That no one pays attention to.
Always trying to grow as tall as I can go,
Just to be cut back down again.  
Never being appreciated.

And you may be the troublesome **** darling,
But I am the child always thinking
you are the most beautiful flower in the garden.
a girl with no heart
built one from fallen leaves
and broken branches
so she could love the boy
who loved her
more than anything

September
Time heals all wounds, but
scar tissue is always visible in light
and feels smooth to fingertips in the dark.

Time heals all wounds. Time heals all wounds.

Time has never healed me—
And I was never wounded.
Yet my entire body is smooth in the dark.
(I am yours—but you do not want me)
A little boy
Saw his
Dog die

His parents
Didn't know
How to tell him

But he said
It learnt to
Be selfless

Because

Once you learn
To be selfless
Your time here

Is complete
And you go
To paradise

He said
That's why
We live here for so long.
I opened my eyes
And looked up at the rain,
And it dripped in my head
And flowed into my brain,
And all that I hear as I lie in my bed
Is the slishity-slosh of the rain in my head.

I step very softly,
I walk very slow,
I can't do a handstand--
I might overflow,
So pardon the wild crazy thing I just said--
I'm just not the same since there's rain in my head.
I want to be
Your pillar of support
You can hold on to me
Whenever you're falling

I want to be
Your confidante
I'll keep all your secrets
I'll share your pains

Still, I'm afraid
That my actions might
Hurt you
Or pull a trigger

Still, I'm afraid
I'll cross the line
Between your world and mine
Like I'm forcing my way
Through your locked doors
Will you still know that I care?
You have to be held up
Before you can be let down,
Remember that I care,
Even when I'm not around.

Wake tomorrow
And I will be there,
You only chase after yesterday
When you feel scared.

Just don't quit now,
Because life isn't a "game."
Your heart is a target
And everyone's taking aim.

You are not made of steel,
But you were born to be strong.
Disregard others remarks
And prove all of them
Wrong.
I'm not usually one to rhyme a lot.

Mi
The little girl
She wants her daddy back in her world
He gave her forever
Then walked away with the same number
She remembered wanting
A pretty pink bicycle
He said he couldn't afford it
So he got her a bright yellow sundress
And made her his only princess
They lived in the kingdom
With dragons
Without the happy ending
He married the new queen
She's such a mean thing
Sad and broken
The girl walked away
No longer his princess
Cause he got a new one today
