Vodka

January 26th, 2009

As time went by
Your addiction only grew
And after some time
You’re not the same mother I knew
Almost a bottle a day
Your memory grows weak
And every time I repeat myself
My words you’ve never heard me speak
And for the both of us
I must remain the one who’s strong
And even though you doubt me
I know you’re the one who’s wrong

Because I’m Me

2009

Just because I’m a girl
it doesn’t mean I’m weak

Just because I’m white
it doesn’t mean I have rich parents who buy me everything

Just because I’m naturally blonde
it doesn’t mean I’m stupid

Just because I’m young
it doesn’t mean I can’t think for myself

Just because I like girls
it doesn’t mean I’m a sl*t

Just because I don’t always say how I feel
it doesn’t mean your stereotypes don’t hurt me

Should it matter
my gender?
my race?
my hair color?
my age?
my sexuality?

Shouldn’t who I am or how I feel have a say?

Just because this is all I can be

Just because I’m me…

Our Conversations

May 2nd, 2008

I know you noticed me
And yes, I noticed you too
We spoke some words today
But more I couldn’t pull through
I miss our conversations
But these words are too hard to speak
And now your words mean nothing
When before they made me weak
I cried some tears today
But no more than one or two
Just because it’s over now
Just because it’s completely through
It really hit me today
But it happened so long ago
And when we pass each other
It’s something nobody would know
