Lauren Martin Poem
Looking at you is like looking in a one way mirror,
only I'm on the side of which I can see.
I watch,
only to see what your becoming,
your more like them everyday.
I've watched how they changed you,
moulded you,
shaped you,
to what they want you to be.
It's like I'm watching a movie,
one that I can't stop or rewind.
I can only watch,
whether I like it or not.
But you? You dont see.
Your on that other side,looking at your reflection.
Just looking at that pretty picture,
but I can see it was only painted.
Every Colour,
Every Shape,
Every Line.
It's how they made you.
How "perfect" you are to them.
Your like a rag doll.
But they will never know the true you,
not the way I do.
They never took the time.
Just wanted the "problems" to dissapear.
I hope one day you will take a step back from that mirror,
and look at what's around you.
Open a new canvas,
and paint a new picture for your life.
Go for what you truly desire.
Create a new path.
Become your own person.

Lauren Martin Poem
She's beautiful,
or so she's told.
Blond hair, blue eyes.
"Model Worthy" they say.
What they don't know is that,
the outside may be beautiful,
but the inside, not so much.
It's tattered from the hard stricken journey.
She paints on a smile,
that everyone believes,
no body sees the hurt and pain,
that the past brings.
Underneath she's...
Broken, bruised, beat down, tattered, torn.
This is what she is.
That's what happens,
when the only voices she hears are telling her she can't.
All her life,
Had to be tough, young.
Learn how to do things,
be independent,
when she shouldn't have had to yet.
Protection came first when it came to her siblings.
She lived life, day by day. Still Do.
But these things is what made her who she is today.
Strong, independent, courageous, hopeful, she always thought there would be hope.
If not for her, at least for them.
Someone once told her:
"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger"
they were right.
Here she stands today,
more determined than ever,
to turn her life around,
to make it better.
Better Yet?
She WILL make it better.
