empty seas
My head aches
with untold stories
My stomach is full
with swallowed words
My body has worn away
from being a trophy
The smart, awkward friend
The introverted, successful daughter
When can I tell my own story?

What you keep inside
matters the most...

Some movies will let you feel
They will give you the power to cry
They will show you simplicity
****** and eternal desires
They'll remind you of what you're missing
They'll reflect your life

I am your puppet.
You pull my strings.
Make me dance,
for it's you I please.
I am your puppet.

Thing is, I'm not.

You treat me like a toy
and it needs to stop.
You act like I'm on the bottom
and you're at the top.
I am not your puppet,
I am not your game.
That's it.
You will not play with me today.

He treats me like I'm fragile
but I assure you I am not.
I'm stronger than what meets the eye
though a stirring soul of doubt.
He does not know the thoughts
that pound and scream throughout.
He doesn't know I saved myself
without any of his help.
I was strong before I met him,
why shouldn't I be now?
I'm trapped in my own thoughts
with no escape but this.
Don't treat me like I don't know
how to handle myself.
I know me better than you do.
Don't act like your keeping
my own secrets from me.
Don't act like you are saving me
because the truth is,
I don't need saving.
I'm stronger than you think.

i am
a confusing person.

i may
love things
that i hate;

i may
hate things
that i love.

sometimes
i adore the sun setting
and i close my eyes
as the sun drapes itself
with dust and memories.

then
i despise the way
the sun rises
with false anticipation
for children chasing them,
desiring to touch
even a glint of gold
and sunlight.

but i try not to love
the way your crooked smile
makes everything look
endearing.

because
i am afraid
that i will soon learn
to hate it.
please do not make me adore you.
