I Know What I Want

I stand by my word

I know what I want

I know its ok

So why would anyone

Be so rude to a kid

I’m a teenager

I’m rude

Not an excuse

But you should see

The damage you’ve done

To little old me

I guess I’m not

Mature enough

To understand

According to you

What a tragedy

That you can't see

How much it hurts

I hide my clothes

Just like I hide myself

From the cruel words

The cruel actions

That seem insignificant

To you

Well fun fact

It hurts

To hear someone I love

Call me inappropriate

My clothes disgusting

Say I go to school to show off my body

I go to learn

High honors

All A’s

No mistakes

Words hurt

Almost as much as a sword

But I’m tired

Of the “fully clothed” person I was

I’m changing

Believe it

Or you’re in for a surprise

  • Do It For Her

    If you can't do it for yourself

    Then do it for her

    Do it for the girl

    With big ideas

    And even bigger dreams

    The girl who would try to count the stars

    But then sigh and say there was a lot

  • ABC Heart poem

    I'm not sure how I feel about this poem, I don't think it's really good but I really wanted to participate in this challenge. :)

     

    All times my heart has

    Broken into pieces
