Bystander

As you sit in your car
All dressed in black.
 You know,
It didn’t have to end like this
Now as you think back you remember
The faint white scars etched in her fair skin
And the timid smile that hid years of despair
 You remember that time your friends saw her crying in the hall
You sat there and laughed as they tortured her
The times you saw her sitting alone at lunch
She looked up at you with pleading eyes
“Hey, can you help me,” they said.
You thought about it , but instead you pretended you didn’t see her
And you left her there, sad and alone
That pleading look now haunts you
It begged somebody, anybody for help
But why should you commit social suicide for her?
You just kept walking away, selfish
Now though, you think back to those boring assemblies
About bullying and what it could lead to
Why didn’t you just listen?!
Maybe you could have spoken up, or found her help
Its too late now though, as you walk up to her casket
To say your first and last words,
To a girl, whose real name
You never cared to learn
“I’m sorry…”

Lily Amoung Thorns

"Like a lily among thorns,
so is my darling among the maidens"
How is there so much meaning,
in such a few amount of words?

Can a simple verse truly set you free?
Can it give you purpose and strength,
and truly make a young girl believe in her own beauty?
Needing nobody else to do so?

How can it give you the strength to walk:
Strong, independent, with your head held high
Drawing the attention of others
And leading other young ladies down that path

What girl doesn't dream of beauty, radiance, and leadership
To be independent and find happiness in herself
And to be able to live life without fear
That's what we all strive to be

( "Like a lily among thorns, so is my darling among the maidens" Song of Solomon 2:4)

Faking

I'm tired of living the way that I do
Trying to force a lie to be true
Happy and cheerful, free and new
Suppressing myself and all that I knew

I long for the day when I'm finally free
Not forced to bow down like the wind blows a tree
When i can show my true colors for all who can see
The rainbow of colors that all make up me

But that day is a myth, a lie in the making
If you think there's a way out, your sadly mistaking
Because to be honest, I'll always be faking
Because of this fact, my life I am taking

I'm tired of feeling the way that i do
Living this life as if i have to

Beauty and the Beast

A girl walked up and asked me,
"what is the definition of beauty?"
I smiled, and took out a piece of paper
I started to write and i said
"Beauty? That's an easy one"
Beauty is dark green eyes
Its a voice that's always laughing
Beauty is wavy brown hair
Its a heart that never stops caring
Beauty is self - conscious
Its always looking to be better
Beauty is silly
Its carefree and ready
Beauty is open-minded
Its loyal and its kind
Beauty is my friend
Its never left my side
To give you a definition
I'd need a thousand words
Beauty is endless
Its timeless and eternal
But to keep things short
I'll tell you a secret
I looked up my paper,
and i looked at the girl
I looked at her dark green eyes
and her wavy brown her
i looked at her smile
and i listened to her laugh
and i got close to her and i whispered
"Beauty is beautiful"
She looked up from the paper,
a smile on her face
Tears are in her eyes and she said
"Your beauty is me"

Beautiful

Today i was thinking
About a girl I know
I think she's beautiful

The things she doesn't like
about herself
I think she's beautiful

When she's quiet
Listening to music
loud enough for me to hear
I think she's beautiful

The things she would change
Her her, her eyes, her body
I think shes beautful

Almost a year ago
I met a girl
and i think she's beautiful


this poem is dedicated to a really good friend, Sophia

Bleeding Emotion

When I give myself up to
the darkness inside, the happy

facade that I've perfected
shatters. Suddenly I am vulnerable

to the world I've worked so hard
to protect myself from. And i tried

to pick up the shards and pieces
but they cut me. My wounds are

bleeding not blood but instead
emotion. And those emotions

shot up around me and painted
a mosaic in the sky. All reds and

yellows, blues and pinks until
I made the decision to look up

And above me I saw that they
left me a fiery picture of dawn.

Life's Confusion

Call me fake
Say I lie
Avoid the truth
Behind my eyes
Forget the times
I am alone
Avoid the world
Avoid my home
Sit in Silence
Stand in fear
Find my future
Stuck right here
Need an out
Escape from hell
Inside I'm dying
Tried to tell
You won't listen
Too late now
Tried to cope
Don't know how
All your fault
Know I'm trying
Can't show weakness
Can't be crying
Hide my anger
Hate my life
"See no evil"
Bear all strife
So why do I bother
I can't win
Will never beat
I'll keep trying
Until I meet
The bitter end

The Girl

She's the girl that quietly
Sits alone by the window, watching
Only speaking when spoken to

I admire the ability she has
To get lost in her own thoughts
Like the world is her puzzle to solve

And I wonder sometimes
If she ever sits quietly alone
And thinks about me

I say shes beautiful
But i could never say it
Out loud for her to hear

Instead I sit quietly
And I watch her watching
And admire from afar

The Closet

Beauty in disguise
Sitting so close, she's shy
I want to talk to her
But I'm shy as well

Her eyes look scared,
but also captivating.
Always changing color,
moss, sand or hazel brown

Can she like me?
Is that even a possibility?
Hope swells inside of me...
It's dangerous

Because I know that
This shy, beautiful and captivating
girl will never see me.
The same way i see her

And this hope that I have
Will eventually crush me
and push me further into
The closet

Black and White

In the dark, I become quiet
and I listen to my pulse
Then I wonder to myself
About the day my heart is silent
I don't think about this time
When i am quiet, questioning
There was never and evidence
to the stories my mother told me
The ones I learned in church
They said the world is black and white
But to me it's all just shades of gray
