Why is body shaming
curvy people wrong,
but shaming
skinny people is okay?
I can't help the way I am.
My body was built this way
so stop shaming me.
Stop shaming everyone.
I'm just waiting for the world to fall
off its axis,
so I can sleep with the stars.
My head is exploding with words
And stories
But as I open my mouth they tangle
And clog

i am a paradox
i am a contradiction
i am an oxymoron
i am a hypocrite

i am a walking talking
"yes, no, maybe"

black one day
white the other
lingering between the two
because I have no morals
and I speak of fake values

never choosen a side
never made a concrete decision
my grand words oppose
my petty actions
and yet, still overshadow them
i sugarcoat them
with lame excuses for excuses

my faults are the night sky
the twinkling stars are but airplanes
polluting the purity
mistaken for a force of beautiful nature
when it is indeed
destructing
the good
destructing
the holy
with its very existence

i leap
from one pond
to the other
politically correct
depending on the situation

i am the northman
claiming to belong to the south

i am the liar
i am the lie

neither here nor there
never here
never there
*never anywhere
selfish, taking what i want & call it mine

I've only been affected 
by anything other 
than affection

The only plan made
was to never have 
anything planned

I've only been 
perfect at living as 
an imperfection

The only thing I
understood was how 
much I didn't understand

Here's a poem for someone who i care
whom i'd never leave
without a doubt -
i swear

Here's a poem for someone who i miss
the only person
who's got enough of me
to break me into a little broken piece

Here's a poem for someone who left me
chasing my own breath
of everyday and every minute;
how it hurts to just let him be

How could he be such a big impact in my life
when all he did was just stay,
not so long -
maybe just for a while

Here's a poem for the boy who never cared -
to the boy whose laughs were shared
with a girl who held on so much-
who bared with the pain a little bit too much
