things, which are the titles.? He could be a wrecking ball
But he's worth it
He's a stick of dynamite
But he's worth it
He'll destroy my friendships, my popularity
But he's worth it
Maybe I can do so much better
But he's worth it
He gets me
So he's worth it

Pain
School is Pain
Pain that cuts you apart
It can kill you, but there's light
Sparks of it, here and there
find a spark
hold on tight
Never let go

I used to be good at writing
It was one of the few things I was good at
I went to school, I never wrote
I conformed, I never read, I never wrote
I used to be good at writing

Conformity.
Nothing that rocks the boat
Don't move, don't even let it sway
Keep the boat still
Stick to the status quo
Never stick out
Unless you do
It'll hurt
Like a thousand knives
Even the thought of it will wretch at your soul
But when you do, I know it'll be worth it
it has to be.












Staring in to the Mirror

Take a shower
Rinse my mascara off
Take my contacts out
Change into sweats
Put my glasses on
Seeing a monster in the mirror
Who only comes out at night
Used to live during the day,
but no more, only at night, scratching her way out from underneath layers of fake
Looking me in the eyes
Reminding me of who I truly am
No one else can ever see
The monster in the mirror that is me.


Saying Yes

I wanted to, I knew I did
He asked me, I said yes
but then, I had to make the decision
The Flu comes on quickly, you know
I could be sick by monday
I wouldn't be able to go to school, much less on a date.
I called my aunt
called my out-of state friend
Too scared to ask my real friends
They would dump me
Never talk to me again
He's a leper, a beggar, a crack addict to them
A pariah
But I wanted to, I knew I did
Even if I tried to hide it, I knew I wanted to
I always tried to hide it, tried to convince myself it wasn't true.
Would make fun of him to hide the similarities between us.
But I always knew he was me.
They aren't worth it
They aren't me.
I said yes.
thanks mad rabbit. only the last two actually have titles, but those are really good titles for the others
