Girl

He walks down the halls
and everyone stares. No one dares
to mess with him.
They're friends with him.
He's the kind of guy you wanna be around,
but when he's there you're shy and staring at the ground.
He throws out I love you's like they're eraser shavings.
No big deal.
But to her when he says it, it means everything.
He winks and says "You know I love you"
And she may hear him say it
to other girls a thousand times a day
But she thinks it's true when directed at her.
She does anything to hear it again
Does his homework, turns her back on a friend
Anything, anytime just to hear it again.
Who knew
Three small words
I love you
Could have so much power?
Who knew? who knew?
Who knew I loved you?

Neon Lights

It is beyond me why we choose to live
In this world of chrome and neon lights
A place so full of anger of danger of hate
And hypocritical happiness and sleepless nights

Asylums filling up with people too scared
To give this melancholy life a chance
Medical books fill up with more possibilities
It might be a mental illness now, just to take a stance

Sure it’s easy to ignore these lifestyles
of people who don’t do what you say
But, darling, look around you at this chaos of life
It isn’t up to you today

You can’t stop them
You can’t save them
All you can do, is not be them

Ripped

In a life where
childhood is precious,
is short, is finite,
how can you eradicate
what is rightfully mine?
What have you done to
DESERVE
the right to take mine?
Your touch adds
years to my fragile body.
Your sounds
instill fears; eliminate self-ESTEEM.
These smells build
WALLS
around my life; it
extirpates a chance of
normal relationships
Showers do not clean me.
Clothes do not hide me.
Meals do not feed my
hunger, desire for
childhood; for love.
