Just a Phase

She is shy and doesn't say much,
But they say it's just a phase.

She is lonely and has no friends,
But it's just a phase.

She cries all day and night,
But they say it's just a phase.

She screams in frustration because no one listens,
But it's just a phase.

She starves herself until she can fit into a size three,
But they say it's just a phase.

She slits her wrists and waits until all the pain drains from her body,
And there's nothing left but a bloody mess on the bathroom floor.

But they say it's just a phase,
She'll grow out of it.
Try Being Me

So your accepted,
You know what you want to be,
You're so smart,
Now try being me.

You look in the mirror,
You smile at what you see,
You're so pretty,
Now try being me.

Your surrounded by friends,
You seem to have the key,
Your so popular,
Now try being me.

You've got it all,
Your spirit so free,
You've got it easy,
For once in your life.....
         Try being me.

GRADUATION

Only days left
Time sure has past
Soon we'll graduate
Free at last.

The diplomas are here
Ready to be given
We've waited so long
Always been driven.

Parents and friends
So proud of you
They were the ones there
The ones who saw you through.

Only a few years ago
We entered scared
Not knowing what to do
Unsure of whom cared.

We took the time
Went to class
Made the grade
So glad to pass.

Now were here
Time to live
Standing at a crossroad
With the world to give.

Some know where to go
Others in doubt
Everythings going to change
No time to pout.

Where will you go?
Decisions to make
Pick the right ones
It's your life at stake.

Remember these days
Memories of the past
Especially the good ones
They dispear so fast.
PERFECT MISTAKE

I look in the mirror
And see my reflection
Though dark sullen eyes
I see all the tension.

I'm feeling as though
I don't really belong
An identity crisis
Gone horribly wrong.

I want to rip out my hair
And scream out my name
I wish I wasn't
So terribly lame.

In my own little world
I don't know what to make
I know I'm less than perfect
But I'm still a perfect mistake.
PORCELAIN DOLL

I wish I were a porcelain doll
Bright eyes
Shiny shoes
Bright eyes
Rosey cheeks
Always smiling
So damn perfect.

Never moving
Painted eyes keep her from seeing the world
Fake ears keep her from hearing its chill
She lives in a dream world
Nothing is real
Nothing can hurt her
I wish I were a porcelain doll.
TAKE A LOOK AT YOURSELF

That girl in the mirror
The one who never lies
That girl in the mirror
Is the one that never cries.

That girl in the mirror
She doesn't like you
That girl in the mirror
Knows what's true.

That girl in the mirror
Is the one you want to be
That girl in the mirror
Is the only one you'll see.

That girl in the mirror
She isn't your friend
That girl in the miror
She's you
You until the end.
I'm really
not very creative, as you can tell, unless your talking about pink flamingo planting, and lawn gnome hunting, but that's another story....
You'll soon learn.
These were just a few poems I did... I'm too lazy to type out all the stories.
