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.
