POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Falling apart
You've lost what you were after.
You didnt have time to see.
All the pain that you were causing to the heart there on my sleeve.
We could have had it all.
But boy you turned away.
I'll never find my happiness,
I shouldn't have listened to all those things you used to say.
I tried to listen to my heart,
But it broke too much along the way.
You may have poor judgement but it's me that take the blame.
Baby, you were bitter.
Selfish, jealous, alone.
You had to have everything.
Thats why you sit at home.
Lord knows, i cant wait forever,...

Love Breakdown
Love isnt always the easiest thing to fall into.
Just because a heart is beating doesnt mean its not broken.
Is a soul mate the one who is worth all the pain?
Does forever means forever?
Or until someone better comes along.
Can a heart heal?
Or is the pain just numbed by someone else.
Can trust be earned back?
Or is it replaced with false hope.
Is love really such a trivial thing?

The Mirror
Picture perfect.
Thats what you tell yourself.
Blinded by the mirror.
Clear like the lake you drown in.
Buried alive in your designer clothes.
You walk your runaway.
Attracted to the shiny things.
Flocking like a parrot.
Isn't it sad.
Isn't it sad.
That the first word you were taught was money.
Isn't it funny.
Isn't it funny.
That parents think gifts replace time spent.
That love can be so easily bought.
Its too bad.
Behind the princess's mirror,
Her people are dying.
Believing her world to be so,
Picture perfect....

A Letter To My Six-Year-Old Self
He'll never realize how often she recalls that day.
Or just how much it ment to her. Just a little girl.
She already hated herself, she already knew how to fake a smile.
She was already teaching herself to become invisible.
Children's jokes can cut to the quick.
Little boys who think nothing of torturing little girls who cant even begin to think of how to defend themselves.
They learn to just shut up and take it.
Playgrounds are supposed to be a place of fond memories.
Merry-go-rounds are supposed to make you smile.
But when you realize that every single...
