Being a woman is hard.
Actually,
Being a woman
You expect me to be
Is hard.
Being who I am,
Well now,
That's really easy.

So society tells me
I should be thin
Maybe look like 'em supermodels
I guess since
That's not happening
I'll go drown my "sorrows"
In a box of ice cream.

Be beautiful
By putting all that mush on my face?
Sorry, no thank you
I'll pass.
I'll be me with all my spots, marks
Freckles and all.

Because you see,
What I am,
Well the genes,
Were handed to me,
By the two most beautiful people
In the world,
Yes, freckles and all.

I am independent
I am smart
I dont need to look like a clown
To please your senses.
I'm much more than
What's on the surface.
So if you wanna like me
Its a package deal,
Freckles and all.
Its very imperfect, but what the heck, I just wrote what came to my mind. This one's for the ladies. Yes, feel beautiful, be beautiful. Be who you are.
Have a good day :)

I'd stand in the rain
with no umbrella
for you.
All of this rain just makes me think about what I'd do to brighten your day.

I was quite,
but I was not blind.

I was calm,
but I was not collected.

I was smiling,
but I was not happy.

I was smart,
but I was not appreciated.

I was sad, 
but I was not showing it.

I was free,
but I was not brave.

I was curious,
but I was not questioning. 

I was articulate,
but I was not speaking.

I was nice, 
but I was not vain.

I was me,
but I was not enough. 

I was found,
but I was lost.

We're dying to live and yet we're living to die.
Just thinking out loud.

I bit open a lie and it tasted like you.

There is a certain beauty

Infected with sin virus
causing
immortal death--
from Adam to me.
I refuse to write you a love story
by myself because
we must write it
**together.
