To the Girl That Disappeared

wouldn't have cared 
if it wasn't for the way you disappeared 
or when you disappeared 
or even who you were to me 

you were my sister you disappeared due to getting in 
a car accident at 2 o'clock in the morning 
boy what a way to wake up the day 
before your birthday 

December 31st of 2015 is one day 
i will never forget 
waking up to my mom screaming like she was getting raped 
to walking into the kitchen to three police officers 
my mom screaming bloody murder 
in my dads arms and my grandmother 
standing there telling what happened 

me wanting to just be by myself 
but having a caring grandmother 
and father they didn't let me 
be alone that day or that night 

the thoughts and endless nightmares 
i had and continue to have or 
the tearful nights i cry myself to sleep 
because i am thinking of a way i could have saved you 
or my last words to you 
just kill me just the thought that your just gone 

or the night i had so much anger and sadness 
built up it drove me to take a thumb tack off my wall 
and dig it into my skin just because the thought of you being gone kills me 
but luckily i asked for help.

To the Girl In the Mirror

one day you may wake up look in the mirror and tell yourself your hot 
but another you may point out everything that is wrong with you out 
and ask yourself where did i come from to not be perfect 

the day you tell yourself you look hot you notice how you glow without make-up 
or your hair looks better messed up in a messy bun or a messy pony tail 
or how you look better in pj's rather then regular clothes 

then another day comes at you like a hurricane you notice everything that is wrong with you like the normal acne every kid has or that your hair looks messed up and dirty or that you look better in jeans rather pj shorts 
or you look better in a big shirt rather then in a tight pj top 
or that you look better with make-up then without 

you may wake up decide not to do anything with yourself and go out 
and then you see your reflection in a window or mirror and suddenly hate the way you look 

you decide to go home and get ready throw on some new clothes fix your hair and do your make-up and then go bacl the where you were or to a different place and thinking to yourself dang i look hot every guy must be starring 

this is to the girl in the mirror whether you think your hot or not just remember not everyone's perfect be the only you, you can be and express yourself the only way you know how just be you.

Dear Grandma

Dear grandma i am loved 
The day you stood there in front of me saying no one loves me 
That day i realized you were just lonely or so i thought 

People always told me you belong in this world for a reason 
But what is that reason so my own grandmother can tell me i'm not worth it 
For her to call me a slut because i have guy friends 

I get it we come from two different generations, but that is no excuse 
That is no excuse to call me a bitch because i want to be with my dad and not you 
That is no excuse to say i need to be different then the way my mother raised my siblings 

You sit there saying you love me one minute, but your story changes life the tide of the ocean
You can be the sweet and calm tide that loves me, but then another minute 
You can be the rough and aggressive tide that will pull me in to take me down. 

I don't talk to those guys because i am a slut 
I talk to them because we are friends 
I talk to them because without them i wouldn't be standing here taking your crap anymore. 

Those guy keep me alive 
Those guys make me feel special 
Those guys are my friends 

So Dear grandma thanks for showing me i don't need you 
Dear grandma thanks for showing me the light i needed in my life 
Dear grandma thank you.

Happiness

Happiness what is it? 
it is when you can find pleasure in life 

you may ask does happiness stay forever or is it temporary 
there is really no answer to that 

everyone finds happiness at a different point in life 
some find it when there little some find it when they grow up and become old 

some happiness comes early in life and then dies as you get older 
or it may come early and stays 

some happiness comes later in life when you find yourself 
and you die with a heart of happiness 

happiness comes in different parts of everybody's life because 
everybody is different and that's a good thing 
like coco Chanel said in order to be irreplaceable one must be different.

Him

Me and You a BOND so unbreakable 
but yet still broken. 

TIME passed a month went by 
it was PERFECT so i thought. 

we had a DEEP connection 
but it was only one sided. 

you started small by TICKLING me 
then it got worse the TWIST came in. 

you started TOUCHING on and in 
UNINVITED areas making me SCREAM NO !!!!!!

your FRAGRANT stuck in my nose 
your smell STOLEN from you to me. 

you didn't understand you were BREAKING me 
you broke my HEART so they said. 

you started BEATING me 
but i was SILENT and scared. 

so i did nothing 
and you got away.

Cut

1 cut 2 cut 3 cut 4 
Her body the canvas 
She can't wait to explore
She picks up her brush
And paints red over the white canvas 

1 cut 2 cut 3 cut 4 
Her body the victim 
Her murder weapon the killer 
She slices the victim open 
Not realizing you can't bring a dead body back to life 

 1 cut 2 cut 3 cut 4
Her body like wood and ashes 
Easy to make, but hard to put back 
She burns the wood to the ground making ashes
Not knowing once you burn the wood and it turns to ash you can't go back 

1 cut 2 cut 3 cut 4 
Her body like paper 
Easy to tear, but hard to put back together 
She picks up the scissors cutting the paper 
She then takes the tape and tries to put the paper back together, but fails

Her body cut up and down 
She then realizes she needs help 
She reaches out, but no one is there 
She cries in her room at night 
Wondering what she did to deserve all this pain 
She then took her life away like you would tearing a paper so easy no one cared.
