Alright, so, I'm actually really nervous about posting this, but, here's something I wrote. Please don't be too harsh if you comment..

[Make Her Real]
Through empty eyes
she stares at all
the world has to offer
with a childlike wonder.

With torn ears
she listens to all
people have to say
as her head begins to spin.

On the tip of her tongue
sit all the words
she has to offer
but refuse to come out.

With scabbed feet
she dances-
she walks-
she runs away.

Another day
and she plugs herself in.
she tilts her head
and is lost again.

She opens the door
and steps outside.
She looks up
at the night sky.

All the stars,
a thousand prying eyes;
all the trees,
waving good bye;
and the wind,
blowing her away.

Once again
she comes to
that same old
new realization.

She spins in circles
where she stands.
She stops and drops
the gun in her hands,
and she runs
for her life.

We’re unhappy with what we’ve been given
So we create something that hasn’t been tainted
We don’t approve of our bodies being broken
So we form new alter egos
We cover ourselves in paint and make up
And we don our uniforms
We sing about loves we’ve never had
And lives we’ll never lead
And names we’ll never earn
Like love and dear
And honeybee
Or at least we’ll never hear them
Through the ringing in our ears
And the screaming from our fans
And the screaming from our past

Stop thinking. You love him.
Stop thinking you love him.

Stop feeling. It's too late.
Stop feeling it's too late.

Stop dreaming. He can't be.
Stop dreaming he can't be.

Stop reading. Too much doubt.
Stop reading too much doubt.

Stop.
Stop...

Stop being. Nothing for him.
Stop being nothing for him.

If me, then others
If I'm lying awake at night unable to sleep because I'd rather torture myself than rest
Then there must be others doing the same
If I'm feeling alienated and angry and confused because of a bad situation
Then there must be others feeling the same
If I worry that I'm the only one
Then I'm not the only one
If I'm alone
Then I'm not alone

I'm confusing thoughts again
I don't know which are which

I think this one is from several months ago
When the sky went gray and I couldn't stay still
But it's outdated

And this one I'm sure is yours
It's straight out of your cloudy head
Straight out of your broken past
But it's irrelevant

This one's from years ago
From an angry little girl who doesn't understand a thing
But I'm different now
Somehow in certain ways that aren't usually instantly recognizable
But I'm different now
As far as I'm concerned
And I have different thoughts now
That revolve around the same things they always have
I have my own thoughts now
That are tainted by everything you've ever said

I'm not your child
I'm not your sister
I'm not your mother
I'm not your friend

I'm a stranger you'll only see once
I'm a being with a face you'll forget in a moment
I'm a golden blur under a bright sun
I'm a pale ghost in the autumn fog

I'm a stranger

In 2 seconds it won't matter if I said hi
Or if I smiled
Or if I seemed friendly
Or if I didn't hold the door open long enough
Or if I avoided eye contact

In 2 seconds you'll have unrealistic expectations of the next
Humanoid blur on the sidewalk

I'm a stranger
And so are they
And so are you
We don't owe each other anything.
