------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Dear Diary,
I am a ghost. I don't know how long I've been this way, but It's my reality.
Dear The One Who Hates,
I still remember the days that we shared.
The plucking of flowers and pulling of hair.
The theories of God that would fly through our heads
Keep your head up princess
When they look you up and down don't bother just walk on
When they stop in their tracks its bc you're beautiful
When they tell u that u don't match you say i know
I'm not a mastermind of a poet,
and no one needs to tell me this
because I know it.
I write whats on my mind,
with the intention of clearing my own sky,
because I need it.
Be more open,
use less verbs,
no more repetition,
and less words.
Be more suspicious,
use smaller ending,
make characters relatable,
and less words.
Be more honest,
When I was growing up, I imagined my life
A sparkling fairytale
A delicately blooming water lily upon the surface
Of my reality
Everything would be perfect, set and ready for me
I always wanted to bethat girl;too brilliant to resisttoo pretty to dis,that girl that stops trafficwalking down the street.That's the pretty girl, I wanted to be
Oh I'm lost in the world
Lost in a world called life
Running around trapped
Trapped in the world
Oh I'm lost in the world
Trapped in the mind
Trapped in time

We as humans go about our day, simply living our lives
You can see me within
All too easily
Like peeking through a window.
I hope there’s a glare,
Its a seasonal mystery
One might recall
of a boy and a girl
Who happened to take a fall.
Perhaps it is more
of a one sided land
Where the girl loves the boy
It seems as though
Every time our eyes cross skies,
Our distance dies,
And the tension flies
We're back at square one
Where
I'm looking in your eyes
Deciding if they're lies
Like ebony feathered ravens
--squawk, caw squawk--
beaks sharp as talons
talons sharp as hawk’s
They prey on the weak,
the strong, and the brave,
the boisterous, the silent,
The glass lost its grip
And my veins lost their insistent murmur.
My heart no longer pounding
I spoke my words into the air
My throat strangling, mangling
Sounds I would never release
They're finding their way closer.
Within this thick underbrush,
I cannot find comfort.
Delirium driving me insane,
I am the only to blame.
All I can do is wander,
You say you can relate to what I have been though
But you haven't walked a mile in my shoes
You haven't been through my trials and tribulations
You say you can relate to what I've been through
But can you?
