'LIKE THE SNAKES THAT SLITHER'
You spit in my face with all of your disgrace,
constantly reminding me why I should leave.
I feel the trace of your sour taste
your strangling vines climbing up my sleeve.
But I've found this game never ends the same,
when you disrespect me vs. leaving me be.
I live my life in peace just to listen to you preach
that I should be impeached for the way you view me.
I am not ugly, the way your words are.
I am not a black hole; I'm a shining star.
And though you can't see it, blinded by your expensive cars,
I do not destroy you; I simply give light to what you are.
Though you have the glory, the fans, the fame,
you and I will never be the same.
I am not a creature for you to tame,
I am who I am, and you will respect my name.
Learn to live with us on this Earth,
the ones who don't match your golden hearth,
or the snakes will slither down our arms,
and reach out to you in all your charms.
They will poison your blood and as you fall to the ground,
you will see how one rightly wears the crown.
'pretty boy'
I'm a pretty boy
I don't need your respect
think what you will
when you see me in a dress
​
I'm a pretty boy
this I have to confess
simply a boy with beauty
but I can still make a mess
​
My eyes might sparkle
my hair is grown out
but never you mind
I know how to shout
​
Patched leather jackets
and screaming too loud
mind my pretty face
I'm a rebel in the crowd.
'Big Brown Boxes'
moving on is hard to do when it's not you I'm moving on to
leaving you makes me blue I don't ever want to miss you
holding you I'm scared to do I fear I won't let go
but hurting you I'd never do so I stay cause you want me so-
packing up all my things into big brown boxes
looking at the empty shelves that sit in my closet
scrolling through the photos I wish I owned a heart shaped locket
so I could pack you up and take you with me when I leave on the-
24th of may I hope to see your face
wrap your arms around me say you wish that I could stay
I'll pretend not to cry as if I'm okay
but my mascara will be running the second you look away-
from the nights we spent talking about nothing at all
to the games you never played you don't even own a ball
and the I love yous you said knowing they'd come with regret
because now I must go knowing I could lose you, no-
one ever got me the way you understand
when all I could see was black you came and grabbed my hand
taught me how it feels to be loved and wanted
and I know you're probably going to leave me a little haunted-
by the words you said that made me fall like the leaves in august
and the smile you gave like you could stop the storms that taunt us
the way you made me feel as though I was something special
I love you now, then, forever, I love you just like I promised.
she said,
take it off.
make it feel better.
kiss me where it hurts
beneath my purple sweater.
I watched as her eyes searched and found mine
she looked divine
I don't think I'm fine.
She's ripping off the bandages
so I can kiss her boo-boos
and I think my heart is bleeding out
my mind I cannot afford to lose.
