How can something so small grow to be so beautiful? Let the light shine down on me like I'm in a play or a musical. Be the love that showers me & help me bloom, Don't pick me up only to carry me into a dark room & filled with negative fume
A hammer shatters the mirror and blood pools in the places punctured by the mirror's shards. Maybe the blood loss will make her lighter.

Skin, smooth and tan, a glow
That the sun envy’s and the skies adore
A look so divine that I’ll never know
Curly hair delicately intertwined
"I pity the deaf girl" they say:
Her mind is off in a land far away.
She can, she can't, she might, she might not;
In a big ole trap she is caught.
They doubt her, they decieve her;
I'm not a pessimist.
I'm not right.
I look fat.
I'm not bright.
I'm a brat.
I'm lazy.
I'm a sheep.
I'm crazy.
I'm a creep.
I'm frightened.
I'm alone.
She’s just a girl you see
She’s got the brains friends and a family
The only thing she can’t seem to realize
Is her beauty that lies inside
You’ll never see her frown
Even if I pass away,
The world will be spinning,
Wrapped around the sun,
As dusks falls,
And morning comes.
Despite the eloquence ofMy words;My actionsShowcase merciless intent
My actionsSeem to display meAs selfishAs ifI don’t love you
BUT YOU ARE WRONG
I am just a traveler in want of a little rest
I had been blending through a city of the oppressed
Dimming me down to the filthy ground
Screaming at me, they surround
I am so over things being aesthetically pleasing.
I am so over someone choosing one thing over another because they think it is more beautiful.
We are all culprits.
But since when is symmetry all that we care about?
Mirror mirror on the wall
I can't look at you at all.
The image of me distorted will be,
And my mind from it shackles will not be free.
Mirror mirror on the wall
You hasten my downfall.
Dear Future Lover,
I want a love letter
One that tells me I’m beautiful
How my smile illuminates a room
And how my body sets the mood
Saying my lazy eye is exotic looking
I'm done with all of this.
The shit I go through daily.
The unexplained silence,
As bad as the fucking words I hear.
The judge mental glance a sharp dagger,
That had stabbed me in the back forever.
I am not my failures.
I am not my last name.
I am not my past.
I am not my grade.
I am not my nightmares.
People tell me I’m a good writer
Although I’m not sure what they mean
Because when I read over my work
I just see meaningless words on a screen
I’ve never been good with small talk
This is my story of the factors that determine me,Drive me to be who I want to be,And create my own destiny.I’ve never been a size twoAnd everything I would doWould be wrong to you.
The Awesomeness in Me is why I get up out of bed.
Even though, everyday, I would rather not.
The Awesomeness in Me is why I still attempt to look nice everyday
Jokingly, at himself, “Idiot.”
All too dramatic, “Can’t you do anything right?”
Laughter. “You. Are. Worthless.”
They don't mean it,
Admire what you see
Mirror or none
For which everything that you see
Beauty is none
What makes things beautiful
Thoughts or emotions
Either one is powerful
But without people's creations
Beautiful people everywhere,
I'm not one of them!
I'm not one of them!
Beautiful people everywhere,
As far as the eye can see.
And none of them look like me
All the shadows in my mind
You push away and leave behind
Every whisp'ring doubt and fear
Fades to nothing when you're near
But then, every time we part
These burdens bear back on my heart
There is nothing worse
Than the feeling of being replaced
Not good enough
You left when things got tough
And I really can't blame you
I would leave if I could too
The echo in my ear of all the hurt and pain, from the time I was younger and more I had to gain. All that I kept inside and I can't seem to get out, it's like a stomach full of words I want to shout.
There has been a monster in the mirror
Her stormy gray eyes
Flicker with fright
Yellow chipped teeth
Hide behind paper thin lips
Ghost like skin
With veins so blue
Wrapped around a frame
Your grimaces, painful half glimpses,
Bring sorrow to every fragile piece of me.
If I should shatter, I’d cut your skin.
Make you remember you’re only human.
You used to smile at me years ago,
(poems go here) I feel like im in a box
Having a limit to how far I can walk
Never able to escape
Going through the same problems each and everday
I feel like I'm in prison
Alone and broken
Every girl was born with a face of porcelain
and heat of pedals.
Anyone can see that is beautiful,
without a male to announce it.
She spends five hours getting ready
Knowing all her hard work is for naught
For by the time she gets to her locker she will be tripped
Into a reality that feels a nightmare
The names she can handle
When you laugh, the wind blows
The wind starts singing
When I cry, the rain flows
The rains start flowing
Flowing towards you
Like the end of a good morning
The beginning of a bad night
