I'm Clingy (Or so they say)
I'm clingy (or so they say)
Did I ask you for your opinion,?
Do I look like I care?
Do me a favor,
And shut your mouth,
I don't want to hear it.
According to them,
My parents are selfish,
They're abusive,
They shouldn't matter.
I didn't ask you,
Maybe I'd like to think well of them,
But thanks for that,
Now I can't.
I don't say anything about yours,
And you ask me not to,
So what makes it OK,
For you to bash mine?
Hmmm?
It's not is it?
I'm sorry I have an opinion,
I'm sorry I have emotions,
I'm sorry if you don't like them,
But I'm not going to hide them.
I'd rather you knew and hated me,
Then didn't and loved me.

How Dare You
How dare you,
Tear me down.
How dare you,
Speak ill of me.
I have been,
Nothing,
But kind to you.
I have chosen,
Not to pass judgement,
Despite what you have done.
The past is the past,
Live and let live,
I believe this no longer.
I give you compliments,
I engage you,
In conversation.
I treat you as an equal,
All I ask is some respect.
I see those looks you give me,
I'm not trying to interfere.
I'm not a threat to you,
I'm not going to take her away.
How dare you,
Spew venom behind my back.
What are you?
Afraid to say it to my face?
I've heard worse.
But after I've been accommodating,
You've been nas
What Happened
That moment you realize,
That you're only fifteen,
And already you're jaded and sick of the world.
You can't remember,
What made you that way,
And you look back on your life,
And can't find a time that you weren't that way.
You don't remember,
Being a child,
Because you were old even then,
You don't remember,
Trusting your parents,
Because they broke it too many times.
You remember being happy,
But it always seems fleeting,
And you remember,
People loving you,
But you can't remember who.
You can't remember praise,
Because there was always another,
Someone who took your place.
You wish people would st
Society
Society tells me I'm wrong,
They tell I'm a sinner,
They tell that I'm sick,
And they tell me I'm unnatural.
I try not to listen,
I pretend it doesn't hurt me,
But inside their words cut like knives.
Every time people like me are slighted,
Every time their hurt,
It feels like I have been slighted,
And I have been hurt.
I don't know why I take it so personally,
They can be just as cruel as everyone else.
Maybe because we're the underdogs,
Maybe because we have to bite and claw,
For every inch we get.
It frustrates me,
That I can't tell the nurse that I'm the girlfriend,
Instead I'm the best friend.
It frustrates m
That Woman
I really want to hate you,
I really truly do,
You left your children,
And hurt them quite a bit too.
I love them both,
They're both like family to me,
But where have you been while they grew?
Behind bars and far, far away.
You left him shattered,
After you promised your life,
In sickness and health,
He's just a shadow now.
You left them with her,
A woman who could care less,
And what did you do?
I don't want your excuses,
Don't even try,
You're made of glass to me,
I see right through you.
I really want to hate you,
I really truly do,
But you came all this way,
On the drop of a hat,
And you love them,
I c
Peacocks
I have discovered that,
Divorced parents,
Are like strutting peacocks.
They splay their plumage,
In front of their offspring,
Advertising all their virtues.
And then they begin to duel,
Pulling out the feathers of the other,
With blind accusations,
Tearing away the virtues,
To show only the flaws.
They don't always do this,
When the other is present,
Instead choosing to whisper dark things,
In their children's ears,
Whether they be false or not.
They paint gory pictures of each other,
And hold it up for young eyes to see.
And while the peacocks fight,
There is a little girl who watches,
She clutches her teddy be
Angel Wings
I only draw for you my love,
As only you will speak the truth,
And I will only sing for you my love,
Because only your voice blends with mine.
I'll write you poem after poem,
And chapter after chapter,
If only it would make you smile,
And I'll be strong for you,
Because only you are strong for me.
With your hand in mine,
I could conquer the world,
You make me feel complete,
Like I've found my missing piece,
And I know this is silly,
Because we are so young,
But I truly believe,
That you're the one.
And I will never leave you,
For as long as I will live,
And that's very hard for me to say,
Because I don't like
Don't want to be an Addict
I don't want that medication,
I don't need those drugs,
I just want to be normal,
Like I used to be.
I don't want to be reliant,
On some foreign substance,
I don't care if it makes the pain go away,
I don't want to need it,
I don't want to be an addict.
It could happen very easily,
To need then have to much,
To die from all the pills,
And still not have enough.
I'll take these vitamins,
And I'll even take birth control,
But I don't want the big yellow bottles,
With the long names I don't understand.
I just want to be cured,
But for all that we have accomplished,
We still know nothing of the mind
Life Will Be
The way life will be,
Is that I fell in love with you,
After you had fallen in love with me,
Even though I feel everything,
And you feel only what you choose.
The way life will be
Is that you were with someone else,
And I was too scarred to see,
That I was not a freak,
Just wired a little differently.
The way life will be,
Is that you're not from around here,
You came from far away,
And practically fell into my lap,
But I don't like to commit.
The way life will be,
Is that I will cry over the red line on your arms,
Even when you don't seem to care,
And I will die inside,
Every time we don't talk for months.

Two faced
There are two sides to every coin,
There is a push for every pull,
There is a darkness for every light,
And sometimes they inhabit the same space.
I try to be a healer,
I try to be the rock,
I burn out all the violence,
And bottle all the hate,
But every once and awhile,
I am my own opposite.
The white wings that shelter,
Become the black wings that wound,
The light that delivers life,
Becomes the darkness that takes it back.
The angel and the demon,
Who will win?
They war inside of me,
I am but the catalyst,
I only contain them,
But I can't stop.
I fear the destroyer,
She who is everything I deny,
I could ne
