What About You

Your mom says you’re pretty,
The mirror says you’re ugly,
anorexia says you’re fat,
your friends say you’re  skinny,
but what about what you say?
 Does that even mean anything to anyone anymore,
i mean its all she said this and he said that 
but what about the nights when you keep yourself awake trying to tell yourself that everything is going to be okay even though its not because you know that your life is a mess
 and nobody can fix it not even your self 
and councillor after councillor
 but  everything is just getting worse because nobody listens to what you have to say and they just continue to say these “inspirational” words but the only inspiration they  are is to themselves,
thinking they are making your life better but its not changing at all but you smile because it only matters what they say and what they think right?
Because 
Your mom says you’re pretty 
The mirror says you’re ugly
Anorexia says you’re fat
Your friends say you’re skinny
And you say..you’re done.

Dreams Come True

Sometimes At night I close my eyes and 
 dream about us 
This dream makes me the happiest girl alive
But could this  really come true? 

For so long it's been just a dream 
But only if we try, I just might be 
a decision you wouldn't regret 

From the very 1st day we met 
I could tell I was falling for you 
Since then I've carried this dream 
Wondering if one day it would come true 

if this was to happen 
You'd be next to me when I awake 
In my heart throughout the day 
And at night thru the love we make 

Deep within my soul 
Is this burning desire that craves only you 
Now, baby, let's let this dream come true

Im Not Perfect Myself

I used to always make fun of the girls in my school just because of the way that maybe one eyebrow is fuller then the other  or the way that their top lip is bigger then the bottom but i never stopped to realize that i wasn’t perfect myself,the way my hips look like an hour glass and the way that my thighs never were apart. Those were the kind of things i would make fun of people for,gulit and sorrow fulled up my system as i relized that i wasn’t perfect myself,but i was so stupid to not say sorry to a single person ive hurt because i thought that just because i made one mistake, just one i didn’t need to apologize because everyone makes mistakes  right? No. Ive made more then just one..ive done something that as i looked into the mirror that night i made fun of myself but thats only because i felt bad and i wanted to see how they felt. I was a bitch, it hurt.

A World That Has Changed Me

Broken I sit
Face to Face with my enemy
My pain and misery
My darkness
It laughs at me
Calling my name...
Calling the worrier it has molded deep within
And it hurts.
The voices drown out
My conscious
Controlling me
Destroying everything
I've worked to become.
And it hurts.
It hurts to know that everyday I open my eyes
Is another day
Led to my despise.
That every second I spend loving you
Is another second
We've torn apart.
I'ts crazy!
I'm going crazy!
Lost in the fear
Of a world that has changed me.

Dont Give Up On Me Now

I don’t know what to say
Don’t know the right words to make you stay
You say I'm making you feel small
You think you've put your pride at stake

Don’t want you to give up on me now
Though this seems the right time
For you to prove your promises and vows
‘cause your words have started to feel differently, somehow

Silence promises to speak louder than words
So I’m just hoping you know me enough
To figure out the meaning of these silent screams
Without making this a contest of pride and dignity

I don’t know what to say
Don’t know the right words to make you stay
I expected this part to be served in a plate
Like the rest of the paths of my fate

I’m afraid to tell you how I feel
It helps with this act of being hard core
But I don’t want you to give up on me, please
Not today, not even on the most painful of silent nights

I wish I could show you how
Show us the right way out
I’m really weighed under all these traditions
To help you map out this decision

Broken Heart

And i forgive her,
i forgive her for tearing right through my ribs,
onlt to find a broken heart,
probably wasn't even what she expected.
but just like the rest,
she smashed it on the floor and left,
and now it feels like im being held captive in my own being.
