Do not take notice of my words,

Because sometimes,

They speak things,

Not even I truly know.

Good* and *light
are not the same
for you can be good
in the dark
and bad
in the light
it is a choice you make
no matter dark or light
its not the colors
of sky or skin
its what you choose
it comes from within
I don't got a lot of love inside
almost none at all
I don't got a lot of love inside
but baby,
I'm gonna give it all to you.
and I hope it'll be enough
You're always dreaming
You're always looking up at the ceiling
Your head in the stars
Don't know where you are

And you believe in
A world for just us two to live in
Out on our own
Just us alone

You know when I found you
I found it just so hard to doubt you
Now I'm sinking in lies
And I realize

That I'm not someone you can mess with
And just get away

Say that you love me and then leave me
The very next day

'Cause I'm not a perfect girl anymore
But you don't know me at all
And you know what
My problem is
That I fall way too hard
And way too fast
For somebody
Who won't love me back
I need someone to love me
For me
With all my flaws and imperfections
Because I am perfectly
Made in God's creation

Made as me
Oh my
Though I plead
Though I cry
To be someone better fit to play this part

I need you to love me
For me
Though I'm **** sure there are more out there who'll fit snug
In a size two
Not an oversized band tee
With a muffin top
Crying every night to soft
Classic rock
In the corner of her room,
Earbuds blocking out the sound of
Impending doom

Can you gaze down at my wrists
Without turning away,
Disgusted,
Laughing,
Mocking my hurt,
My pain,
My emptiness
And take out a Sharpie
To draw a butterfly
On my wrist, right on me
To show me that you love me
And that I'm not all alone

I need you to love me for my eyes
That crinkle at the corners when I
Laugh, but really snort,
And wheeze and cry and roll around just because I love life

And I love who I am so why can't you love me?
And they said stay away
Or your heart will break
Ripped open clean in half
While he just stands and laughs

And I should know by now
That you'll let me down
But that's a choice I'm gonna make
A chance I'm gonna take

That you'll love me
Just be yourself
Not anybody else
Or what anybody wants you to be
And you will be free

You wanna be the guy
Who no one sees walking by
Or on the last day dyes her hair pink
Doesn't care what you think

You can scream and shout
Have everybody hear you out
And you will make history
The book is written by me

Just dance alone
Don't be afraid to roam
Away and against from society
So take it from me

You'll be the crazy
Rebel
Troublemaker
The round peg
In a square hole
The heartbreaker
The plays by her own rules
The game maker
Who says impossible's impossible

Stay true to yourself
They're always gonna be around
To help you up when you fall
Or bein' backed against a wall

Crank it up loud
Wanna tune everything out
Turn it up now
Wanna hear you scream and shout

It's okay to cry
Just tell yourself to fly
And never, ever look back
And ask why

'Cause you'll be the crazy
Rebel
Troublemaker
The round peg
In a square hole
The heartbreaker
The plays by her own rules
The game maker
Who says impossible's impossible
Hey guys! This was originally a song written by my friend Rachel and I, but I thought it could also serve as a pretty cool poem.
