POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Pretty Girl
Am I a pretty girl?
Covered in pearls.
As if a ballerina, I twirl.
Can you really see?
Can you see the real me?
Hiding behind the girl I want to be.
Unique you say.
If that's what you want. Okay.
I'll do anything to keep your
acceptance at bay.
Am I a pretty girl?
Am I?
You can tell me the truth.
Am I?
I'd rather you lie.
So keep your mouth shut.
While I cut.
With a razor in bed.
Or a needle and thread.
This can't be all in my head.
Because I can see it in your eyes....
Covered in pearls.
As if a ballerina, I twirl.
Can you really see?
Can you see the real me?
Hiding behind the girl I want to be.
Unique you say.
If that's what you want. Okay.
I'll do anything to keep your
acceptance at bay.
Am I a pretty girl?
Am I?
You can tell me the truth.
Am I?
I'd rather you lie.
So keep your mouth shut.
While I cut.
With a razor in bed.
Or a needle and thread.
This can't be all in my head.
Because I can see it in your eyes....

Whatever Generation
We are the Lazy Generation.
That’s how the others see.
They group us indecisive and wild.
But with that we must disagree.
Listen to our bellows of despair,
And from these binding and winding ropes
Set us free.
We are the Whatever Generation.
You must understand.
Beaten and battered by a dead hand.
This world is man-made,
And because of that,
The future is a frightening foreign land.
Shadowed by our fathers mistakes.
We strive to be,
Anything then what’s
Given to us by destiny.
We are the Reckless Generation....
