Poet Introduction
"i act like shit don't phase me, inside it drives me crazy. my insecurities could eat me alive"
Who Am I?
I’m often asked
“Who am i?”
Well to answer your question, I’m me
I’m quirky
I’m smart, when it comes to certain things at least
I’m funny, or as I’m told
I’m a great friend; I can always cheer someone up
I’m trying to mend a broken heart, but I think I like someone
I’m self-conscious
I fall too hard to fast
I wish I never fell in love, with him
I wish I wasn’t as nice as I am
I think I’m fat, ugly, and worthless
I wish I was as beautiful as some girls
I like being different
I have depression, but I’m recovering
I have...

Tangled
What is love when there is none to be found?
What is hate when we all hit the ground?
What is life when you’re dead inside?
What is death when you’re on the upper side?
What am i?
Who am i?
Who are you?
Come join me on the other side
There are no rules, no lies, it’s all darkly divine
All to sickly sweet
Bodies intertwined with darkness
You would never get out alive
Some call it hell
But for some it’s heaven
Pure bliss

Betrayal
I’m over it, no I’m over you!
We used to be friends aye?
Huh how times have changed
So you think you’re all that
You think you’re some popular bitch strutting your stuff, but you’re not
You think you have so many loyal friends, bitch half of those so called friends are my friends and tell me everything you say about me
Every little detail you think you can keep secret
I thought we were friends but I guess I learnt better
One of my friends came up to me and told me she overheard you talking shit about me
I didn’t believe her, I should of
She wasn’t...

Is It Love?
I don’t know I you’d call it genuine love or plain stupidity
That I still love you
That after all you put my through I would take my own life just as easily as another’s for you
Please tell me if you think I’m crazy because I’m starting to believe I am
I hate you yet I love you all at the same time
You have damaged me physically and internally all in one
I no longer wanted air to fill my lungs after what you put me through
I tried to hate you so I wouldn’t want you but the more I tried to hate you the more I realised how much I loved you
I tried to tell...

Vindictive Bitch
Ok so let’s get this straight me you and 2 other friends are sitting down at the beach
You say you want to move so you tell them “we’re moving” uhmm they’re not your dogs they can sit were they want
So I tell you “get over it they want to sit here, just leave them”
And you storm of crying like it’s the fucking end of the world; ugh no it doesn’t work that way sweetie
You seem to run off and cry whenever you can’t get your own way or when someone doesn’t live up to your standards
Seriously?
Get over yourself
Now!
You’re not going to get too far in this world...

Bullying
Bullying
It needs to stop
Recently a young girl has taken her life because of it
She was a beautiful young girl who died too young
I find it hard to believe she was bullied because she was just that beautiful
But I guess that just goes to show anyone can be bullied for anything no matter what they look like
Bullying is a disgusting thing
It seems like such a small thing
But it’s not
It may seem like it’s not affecting them, but in reality it is
These small words and names can leave scars that last a lifetime
Wounds that won’t heal
For example...

Only You
Are you going to sit back and watch us fall apart?
I might die when I forget how to breathe
It’s as if everything around me is frozen
In every moment I lose my focus
I get closer and there’s nowhere I’d rather be when you open my mind to things I’ve never seen
And I promised I wouldn’t do this
Wouldn’t fall for you
It was just for fun
We both needed someone to be there for us
But my doubts fade away when I’m kissing you
I’ve never felt this way before
Don’t you see, there’s no point trying to fight this
It’s all starting to make sense ...

Lost Pieces
Could I just lie down and die in your arms?
Just lie down and leave this world behind?
I can’t help it I’m just selfish
We were both young
I close my eyes and the flashbacks start
I thought you were Romeo and I was Juliet
You were the prince and I was the princess
It was the perfect love story
Was it not?
All we had to do was run
Not be afraid and run
We would set our hearts free
But I got tired of waiting for you
I waited but you never came
I loved you and that’s all I really new
All you had to do was say yes
But we were both...

final sacrifice
I would sacrifice everything for you
My life, just as easy as another's
I don't think you realise how much I care for you
Someday maybe, when you turn back and realise what you lost
Maybe you'll realise how much I truly care
The more I try to forget about you, the more I love you
The more I try to tell myself I don't need you, the more I realise I do
You've changed from the person I thought you were
The person I loved
The person I love
It's gone on to long and is not going to stop anytime soon
I guess you couldn't handle the full pressure
I...

I See
I see
An assassin without a gun
A game that has just begun
A Terrorist with no motive
A sinner with no cry
A vein with no blood
A tear with no eye
A mind that has just relapsed
A vow that has come undone
A loved one who has now passed on
A drug with no high
I see a heart that has been broken
A broken heart will do anything for redemption
And will often do crazy things which they often find themselves to regret or not get a chance to regret at all
I can see many things in this world
Things that the naked eye can't...

Names
I have been called so many things in my life
So many mean terrible things
That have life open wounds
Things that still haunt me
"Emo"
"Fat"
"Ugly"
"worthless"
"Bitch"
"Skank"
"Whore"
"Slut"
"Nothing"
"Basterd"
"Cunt"
"Retard"
"Goth"
These names have affected me in so many ways
Ways I never thought possible
I have hated myself because of these names
Wanted to kill myself because of...

uncontrollable
Can't you see she's using you
She's a manipulative vindictive bitch, she'll do whatever it takes to get her way
Why can't you see this
She only wants you so I can't have you
You see she knows I want you but she'll twist her lies right around your finger it's hard to get away once she's got you so baby you better split, because she knows your almost hers
Don't you see what she's doing I'm only telling it like it is because I care, but she will take it to knew extremes she has gotten you into so much trouble
She has gotten you arrested
Suspended
Almost expelled...
