Closing my eyes to enter a new planet
and explore all that comes my way
wearing clothes that are perfectly fit me
moving ahead to watch what the people say

Early in the morning comes out the sun always
Bright and dim are two games it plays
puts a smile on its face as it gives out light
the moon beautifully overcomes it at night

To add to the brightness of the moon
comes a collection of shiny stars
that grace the night with their appearances as well
as maybe also fulfil wishes that were someday ours
Here's a little wordplay on the days that turned to nights.

I cannot dress up my truths
in designer clothes
that'll grab your attention
and invite a closer look

I cannot apply even a little concealer
or blush to its cheeks
or add colour to its lips
I will not conceal any of it
not its blemishes and scars
not the pimples and acne
the most revealing bits

truth's a tomboy anyway
Changes

Night changes and spins around
Bitter day will follow suit
A purple frosty evening
Turning black as soot
Outside

I tried to fix what was broken
And became upset when I couldn't.
I left it alone,
I let it be,
I even changed me.
Some worked and some didn't..
Now, I must admit it
My errs have made me shameful
Because my intentions were so good;
But I was blinded, so blinded,
That I never really understood
How I could ***** anyone over
The way I did.

I turned a new leaf
And still I couldn't succeed
Because all anyone ever really saw
Was the old me

I set new boundaries and was shunned
So I opened them up and now I'm lost

I went back to the old me,
And even that ******* me.
So what do I become?
What do I do?
Because the old me
And the new me
Wasn't ever good enough for any of you.

In haste I give you the best
   A warning is presented

I give the benefit of reasoning
  You took advantage

I turn away
  Change your mind you beg

Not today I say
  Not today...
I always give others the benefit of the doubt. When It is time for change. Other doors will open - Fly the coop

I love you,
despite the many failures
The true and perceived.
I want to hear about it all
be here through it all.
I wish you'd respond.
I hope you know you're worth more than you're giving yourself.
This doesn't have to be the final chapter.
