I’m Just Too Young

March 14th, 2009

It’s hard to deny
You know the words better than me
Even without reading it
Even though this is my story
I’d call it an accident
Maybe just a mistake
But these emotions I can’t hide
And these feelings I can’t fake
If this meant anything to you
I think you would have let me know
Your actions never mean anything
And your feelings never show
I don’t know who you are
Because I fell for just your lies
I’m stupid for believing you
Just because you looked me in the eyes
And I know I don’t need you
It just feels like it though
And everything I feel for you
Is nothing that you care enough to know
Maybe I’m just too young
Maybe I’ll never understand you at all
But I’m sick of laying down at night
Just wondering if you’re going to call
I tell myself
I need to push through
No matter how hard I try
I’ll never be enough for you

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…

Homeless

March 15th, 2019

11:11 and under bridge wishing
Ever since I was young I’ve been wanting the same thing
As scenery changes a life I’ve once known
I’ve been longing for a place that felt like home
But home is not a place you can touch
It is not a building filled with stuff
It is an emotion that you can feel
It is the only place that you can be real
They say home is something you know in your heart
But a house was the place that tore me apart
People say that ignorance is bliss
But I’d rather find home than feel like this
