This is me contemplating,
thinking about self-worth...
I mean, what am I even doing?
And does it even matter on this cruel Earth?

Regulations of expectations
Altering my perception
Of individuality and expression
I apologize that this body of mine
Isn't what society thinks is divine
Sorry that my breasts aren't capacious

Not an ordinary girl...
Black hair that shimmers in the limelight
Pale skin that illuminates her full red lips

Anxiety filled
Emotional, physical pressure built.
World tilt
But it's now or never baby,
No going back now baby,
We're stuck with each other baby,
Now and forever baby.

and glistens with rainbow colors
as the sun penetrates the fragile outer shell
The butterfly flutters lazily through the trees
and over meadows green, laced with yellow-gold
You are the bubble and the butterfly join together,
in the cool of the shaded palm
Their long journey finally satisfied,
with the melting together of minds, ideas & love
The unique bonding together enables the bubble
to lift the butterfly to new heights
giving strength to their friendship
The butterfly lets the bubble rest upon her wings
and takes the bubble to places never before seen
Together they find the long lost friendship,
that in years past, left their hearts with sadness
Now they do not fear the separation they know will come

show gray by afternoon
Falling clouds darken the sky as
Geese hurriedly fly past
pale windows, streets are left empty,
sounds of steps extinct,
sleet begins to press icy fingers
against rusty lamp posts while
tree branches snap and fall to
slippery paths below
Now as the spector of the long night approaches,
there is no one to hear him

Been through bullying,molestation and depression.Lost myself in all the lies I told, never discovered who I really was...am. Its all a mystery covered by a grey hue that clouded my logic tense caused me to make mistakes a regret to this day.

Water so clear now polluted by the waste of years of neglect
Still thriving with life
Sand once so white now raped by the omens of death
Baptized daily from the tide that creeps in
And endless blue horizon stretching to the end of earth now speckled with oil rigs
Erased from sight at sundown
There is beauty far past what is merely captured by the eye
For Mother Nature is like us all
Scarred by the hands of another

Anger beneath her skin abolishes all logic sense within
Unknown of what will become of her...
Her father's betrayal and loss of love
Keeps her from moving on,
keeps her locked in her own misery
Will she outgrow this hurt and loss
Or will it eat her alive?
Keeps her from moving on,
keeps her locked in her own misery
Will she outgrow this hurt and loss
Or will it eat her alive?

I tried my best, I tried and failed
I tried my best, To no prevail
I tried hard, And tried again
Always lost, trying to win
I tried harder, I tried once more
I didn't give up, My tries adored
I tried alas, alas I tried
The evidence, my broken smile
I tried beyond ability
I tried and tried, And failed to see
I tried fearsome, I tried with shame
I tried maliciously, With selfish aim
I tried for me, For no one else
I tried with greed, Gave back no help
I tried unhappy, Discontent
I succeeded, malevolence
I tried wonders, Miracles
I laughed at the, impossible
I began to try, oh positive
My success was a reflection of,
My success was a reflection of,
My persistence
I kept it up,
I kept on trying,
I kept on trying,
Like I should.

Feelings of emptiness
Oft when speechless
When tribulations seem endless
Only times fullness
Leads to success.

like destiny,
it changes.
Feeling alone and scared
and amid with air.
Once, I saw a men.
He was standing beside my mime.
He was looking at me,
I was scared.
Should I run?
But I can't.
And my friends,
they were there
as I penetrate through the pain.
They couldn't understand,
but I knew he was there.
Fire is one who has flames,
greatness of use,
not to be scared.
