Books saved my life
No one would know this now
From the way I suck up words
Books done in one sleepless night
It seems I've been reading my whole life
But in third grade

Toast
Here’s a toast
to the girls who have had their hearts broken
By guys that never knew their names
-
brown-eyed girl
I'm a brown-eyed girl
loves adventures
yet afraid of the unknown
I'm a romantic who hates real life
I'm a brown-eyed girl
who wishes more love songs
said brown-eyed instead of blue

Girl problems
i don't always like being a girl
it's hard
always making sure my hair is in place
i can't dress so all my curves can be seen
but i can't wear xxL
i don't want to be wrong
-
pretty
you're so pretty
and i pray every night
that you won't cry again
about those pounds gained
or those pimples
in the feather-soft skin of your cheeks
it hurts me
how you forget
-
Getting good
i'm getting good
at smiling like it's no big deal
i can laugh and joke
i'm getting good
at masking my pain
pretending everything's alright
makes it easier
to get through today.
Loves

Him
His bittersweet taste,
Pressed on my lips.
His alluring voice,
Captivating my ears.

breakdown
i’ve been dancing alone a little too long
my resilience corroding with each blink
i haven’t broken down like this since
well i don’t expect myself to remember
the stars were the elation -
Wistful Words
Poetry used to fall from my earthy lips like flowers.
My words were lightning
My hands thunder
My tears like glass and waterfalls
Falling heavily onto each chalky page.
But now my tears are salt -
This Love (in Taylor Swift albums)
This love is a small town anthem, frenzied curls and brave statements, tall brown boots and unforgettable choices.
This love is something like no other, golden and bedazzled in sequins and unafraid, bold and innocent alike.
