Nothing

Because you're prettier.
You're skinnier.
Your hair is always perfect,
Skin is always smooth.
So go on.
Don't let me be in your way.
Run off with him.
Because 9 years means nothing.

Once

Why can't I do something right for once in my life?
Why can't I be good enough for you?

Why can't you say you're proud?
Just a pat on the back.
Just one little 'nice work.'

Once.
All I'm asking for is once.
It'd mean so much to me if just one time,
You could make me feel like a priority,
Not an inconvenience.

'Solution'

If its not broken,
Don't fix it.
If there isn't a problem,
Don't solve it.
Let life take its course,
Because you can't change the future.

In social studies today we read an article about the growing rate of minorities. They kept referring to some kind of 'disadvantages.' I found this almost offensive since I am a multiracial person... I just don't understand where there's a problem... Talking about races is really awkward for me since I'm kind of on both sides of the fence....

Nights

Lips chapped,
Hair a mess.
Love the feeling,
No one to impress.

Feeling

I've had a good week.

Although I've cried an exploded,
I've smiled and I've laughed.
I've worked hard and I feel alive.

It's refreshing. It feels nice.
Instead of just going through the motions,
I'm feeling again.

From sitting and thinking,
Constant falling and failure,
It feels nice,
To feel.

159 Days

159 days from now,
I will be the happiest ******* the planet.

One hundred and fifty nine.

I've been counting for over a year and
I
Can't
Wait!

Built Up Emotions

Ever have those moments,
Where you just let everything build,
And from the littlest things,
You break?
