A clear blue sky
A mountain stream
The sunlight on the water
Beauty

A mother and a child
A golden ring of promise
An angel's touch
Love

A whispering wind
A bird cooing softly
The voice of nature
Peace

A baby's laugh
A brilliant smile
Joy

A comforting light
A rainbow overhead
Hope

They ask me who I am
But I can't answer in words
For I am the one to

Give you hope
When you are lost
Give you joy
When your world is dark

Give you love
When you need it most
Give you beauty
When your eyes are closed

Give you peace
When chaos reigns

I am more than words
I am life
I am music.

Not four letters,
Not even three.
Just two simple letters
Could change everything

So why is it so hard
To talk to you
To just say
*Hi

You know,
I never thought
Too many jelly beans
Could be bad.

I'm finding out now
That they definitely can.
Trust
Me.
And yet I can't stop eating them XD

I just want to be invisible
To not have to stand
In front of the world
That criticizes everything

To not have to stand
Against a father
That tells me to just work harder
To not have to stand
At attention
As I receive every insult

But mostly,
I don't want to stand
In front of the mirror
And see my biggest critic of all

Some days I wish I was invisible
Nobody could hear me
Nobody would see me
It would be as it was
It was so much simpler then.

I didn't have to laugh
Every time someone made a joke
I could be in the shadows
And be alone

Its great to be heard
When I have something to say
But I don't want to talk
Just to fill a space

Its great to be seen
When I think I'm invincible
But I don't want to pretend
I just want to be invisible

Do you still think of me?
When the world seems
To have left me behind.
Do you think of me
When you smile and laugh
In the distance.

All I can think of is your eyes
How they use to look at me
With love and passion
Now they barely glance
For a moment in my direction

Do you love me as you did
When you wiped away my tears
When you held me
When I wanted to die
Do you love me still
Are you even still mine?

I tried to write a poem last night
But my head was too foggy
And my eyes too watery
Then my nose started running
*I still haven't caught it
