Everything I’m Not

I'm not a wall
I don't stand strong
I'm not a warrior
I don't fight till the end
I'm not a weapon
I don't kill for fun

I'm a women
With many flaws
And many features

All of which makes me
me. Human; imperfect human

A Girl's Masquerade

This is a poem that I wrote a while ago....maybe 3 years ago. It's probably one of my favorite poems that I have ever written, and I hope you all enjoy it. I would appreciate any constructive feedback! Thanks!

A Girl's Masquerade

Welcome to the girl you believe you see.
The act that is being put on before your eyes.
But when you turn your back,
the show is gone.
Her laugh is an echo of who she could be
and her smile is really a frown.
Her eyes,
they shine and fool the world
so others cannot see her lies.
She wonders if anyone
will see beyond her mask,
and the daily performance
that has become her forced task.
But until that day
she will continue on
with her own illusion, with her masquerade.

Life's a Challenge

How many times did you feel like life couldn't get any worse? or that life was just trying to find some way to get on your nerves? I know I had days where I thought life wanted to challenge me, wanted to make me cry but in the end when I realized that I survived that day the problems didn't seem so bad. Maybe the longest and hardest road in life is the one that brings us content and happiness.

Saying the Right Things...

It's always difficult not to seem disappointed when someone says something you didn't exactly want to hear. You don't want them to know that they can so easily impact your feelings, and that they have the power to hurt you. However, sometimes what hurts more is that you wanted them to say the right thing, but instead, they say the wrong thing. So, what can you do? You just keep on wishing that they will say the right thing one day....and hopefully that 'one day' is sometime in the near future!

Living Life As It Is

Don't Laugh at Me

Dont laugh at me

I suggest to watch this video before reading on...

I remember when I was in Elementary school when my music teacher played us this music video. This song "Don't Laugh at Me" has a purpose that anyone can relate to. I don't know how many times I've tried to make a friend or tried to be something I'm not. Sometimes the jokingly name calling or whispers can hurt someone badly. Everyone sees themselves differently and probably think they aren't pretty enough. Words are as rough as if pushing someone or hitting them.

In this video it sends out a message that no matter how different you are someone in reality you are the same. You and another person probably like the same things or dislike the same things. Probably have troubles in school or sports or siblings.

Have you ever made fun of someone? Would you like it if someone made of you? Maybe its time to just accept one another and be a friend to a random person.
