Walk Away (A Poem)

Have you ever

walked into a room

and felt like 

everyone was 

staring at you?

I have.

Have you ever 

left somewhere 

because you felt

like everyone was 

talking about you?

I have.

Maybe it is 

insecurities,

or maybe it is

in my own mind. 

But these things 

have happened

to more people 

than one,

that you 

cannot deny. 

I try and 

brush it off

but it's hard you 

see when I know 

that you talked about me. 

If you don't like

me that is ok.

But please don't act 

like we are friends

and then walk away. 

I can sense the 

hate while you 

are around.

My ears are wide 

open and that's 

what you don't see.

I can hear what

you say 

but I'll be the 

first to

walk away.

Feelings (A Poem)

I write 

for those 

who feel 

alone, 

who think

that no one

understands.

I write

for all 

who will read.

Who get

emotions

from the 

words that 

pour out from

with in me.

I write because

I can't be the 

only one 

who feels 

this way.

Fairy Tale (A Poem)

I knew I could 

be anything I wanted

to be...

If only I had

a fairy godmother 

to make that

come true.

Flick with a twist

and the world 

would be 

mine. 

Instead I'm

stuck in a 

modern day 

fairy tale.  

Damaged

and broken 

aren't really 

the fairy tale thing.

Oh wait?

Maybe it's that 

I am not naive.

Silhouette (Lyrics/Poem)

We will never

forget those teenage 

years where we 

caused chaos and

commotion. 

The world was 

our playground

and we were

going to dance 

in the sand. 

Late nights turn 

into ones we 

will never forget 

but will always

want to repeat. 

We will drive

and chase the sun 

while we hold hands 

until the sun 

comes up.

I can still see

your silhouette

clear as day. 

This is the story

of me and you. 

Never alone

because you 

were always right 

beside me. 

My mind will 

always be wrapped 

up in thoughts of you. 

Every time you look 

at me I get lost 

in the thoughts of you.

Your eyes like 

the blue of the 

sapphire

and your hair 

black as your

fingernail polish. 

This is the story

of me and you. 

Never alone

because you 

were always right 

beside me. 

My mind will 

always be wrapped 

up in thoughts of you. 

Looking back now

these are the nights 

my mind still gets 

wrapped up in. 

You left your

mark on me 

that I will never forget.

Please come

back to me.

Normal (A Poem)

I wanted

to be normal. 

But then I 

soon realized

that normal is 

overrated. 

I don't even

know if

I know what 

normal truly is.

Mean (A Poem)

You yell 

at me and 

I watch your

every step

as you wind

up to make 

your next move. 

I look 

for an

escape but

there is no 

where to run. 

All I can 

think in my 

head is 

what did I 

do to make 

you turn so

mean,

and more 

importantly 

to take your

anger 

out on me. 

I would say 

I am 

sorry,

but I know 

it won't matter.

My mind blanks 

out as you 

are yelling 

at me telling 

me how 

stupid I am.

Maybe you

are right 

or maybe you

are misdirected.

Reality (A Poem)

I hate when

people look

at me 

and only

see what is

on the outside. 

If this is the

case I am 

a talentless

girl with a

mediocre face, 

But in

reality

I am a 

writer, 

free thinker,

poetess .

With talents

that you

will never see.

I have insight,

on things

that matter.

But most 

people 

won't ask me 

because I

am a 

High School misfit

with a degree 

in dropping out.

Lies (A Poem)

My mom

always told me

I couldn't be

whatever I 

wanted. 

That I had

to limit 

myself.

Dumb myself

down in

a way.

Now that I

have grown up,

I look back

on this

past advice and

get a sadness 

inside. 

I always thought

I was less.

I still think

that I am less

than everyone.

I am not

mad.

I feel sadness.

Sadness that

so many parents 

tell their kids 

these lies. 

There is

only one thing

to do.

Be amazing

anyways

Nightmare (A Poem)

I am your

minds worst nightmare.

I'll make

you think

about things 

you would rather 

ignore. 

Beauty is

a lie.

Girls put

on make up

for what? 

To impress

those 

judging eyes

that watch

their every

move. 

For men 

being buff is

the way, 

if not you 

must be gay 

because there

is only one

right way. 

Why?

Call me crazy

but I will

question you.

I am your

minds worst

nightmare. 

We are taught

to think the same.

I dare you

to think 

differently.

If you don't

we are just 

playing the 

biggest game 

of follow the

leader.

Play (A Poem)

Wanna play

a game? 

I'll tell you

something about me

and you'll

look at me with

complete disdain.

Wanna play

a game?

Truth or Dare

seems to have

your name.

You go in for

kiss right after 

you told a lie 

to your truth. 

Wanna play

a game?

Is poker

more your speed?

Do you have

the need for greed?

I'll fold

my cards 

and you'll

walk away.

 a champion 

of the lesser.

Wanna play 

a game?

I'll play

with your 

emotions 

until you are to

afraid to

walk way.

Runaway (A Poem)

Figures it would end

like this. 

Lost and alone

as you 

leave never look back.

I never thought

it would end like this.

Thinking about it now 

I should of saw it coming.

My life will never be

the same,

maybe I will just keep running

away from all the sadness

looking for something

I know was never there.
