Expect them to be flawed,
a field of wild flowered-
imperfections, sticky
metaphors
& an inability
to speak.
Love them anyway.
Know that when they look at you
they are noticing the little things.
Your smile,
the sound of your voice,
the laugh lines—
bruises.

I'm sorry,
I didn't choose to be born this way.
I can't control it.
Please don't hate me.
I'm so lost and confused.
When I want to say something,
I can't.
I start to over heat.
My hands start to tremble and become numb.
I loose all concentration.
I can't breath.
I wheeze uncontrollably,
Trying to hide it from others.
My heart feels like it's going to beat out of my chest.
The walls are closing in.
I want to scream,
But no one will hear me.
I begin to cry.
I can hear them all laughing.
I'm getting stares.
I'm going to pass out.
I'm going to die!
No one will help me.
No one understands.
No one can hear me.
The voic
JUST DON'T
Don't look at me like that.
Don't patronize me, I'm not a child.
Don't order me around, I'm not your slave.
Don't tell me I'm not good enough, when you're no better.
Don't tell me it's going to be okay when we both know it's not.
Don't smile at me, with that forced grin; it's frightening.
Don't come near me in this darkness; it's not safe.
Don't caress me with those scarred hands so gently.
Don't try to change me, I'm not broken, there's nothing wrong that isn't meant to be.
Don't yell at me like that; your hypocritical rage is infuriating.
Don't raise a hand to me, your empty violence is useless.
Don't whisper to me, with that ve
She smiled,
but it was fake.
She laughed,
but she's about to break.
She reached out,
but no one came,
tried to fake it,
but the pain stayed the same.
This girl, she called to you,
but you didn't care.
Something told you to help,
but you didn't dare.
What would the others say?
The ones who called her a freak.
They may taunt or shun you,
so you choose not to speak.
Then she decides to leave.
Because no one wants her here.
You'll never see her cry.
She'll never shed another tear.
For Her
It started off like this
When I gave you that first kiss
It took you by surprise
And made me close my eyes
I won’t lie, I was scared
As you stopped and stared
I couldn’t even breathe
But then you kissed me
It shattered all our fear
And made our love clear
My feelings only grew
But inside I always knew
The time you fell from the swing
From the first time I heard you sing
The first time you held my hand
I was so nervous I couldn’t stand
Even though I can’t cook
You still give me that look
My hearts melts every time
Reminding me how you’re mine
You’re the ending to my story
And the happines
I'm a lover. Not a writer. by realARTIZT, literature
Literature
I'm a lover. Not a writer.
A poet could say the things I only wish I could convey.
Like they'd probably say your kind of love is like...
The burning light of day.
Warm and blinding...dangerous and great-
Those kinds of words are words you'd anticipate.
If I was a poet, I'd go on about your smile,
How your eyes sparkle,
And how I'd stare for more than just a while.
But I'm not. And poetry isn't my thing,
But if it was, I'd write you a song- a song for you I'd sing.
I would serenade you until you fall for me...
And ease you to sleep with words so splendid and deep.
If I was a writer, I would know how to go on...
To tell you I need you...
And how I miss you when you're go
I'm sorry,
that I'm not
beautiful.
I'm not a supermodel.
Are you?
I'm sorry,
that I'm not
funny.
I'm not a comedian.
Are you?
I'm sorry,
that I'm not
mature.
I'm sorry,
that I'm not
talented.
I'm sorry,
that I'm not
good enough
or,
loving enough...
or,
smart enough.
I'm not perfect.
Are you?
I'm sorry I'm not perfect
I'm sorry I'm not a prodigy
I'm sorry I'm not a better brother
I'm sorry I'm not a better friend
I'm sorry I'm not a better person
I'm sorry I'm not strong enough
I'm sorry I'm a failure
I'm sorry I'm trying
I'm sorry I'm crumbling
I'm sorry I'm crying
I'm sorry I'm not sleeping
I'm sorry I'm not eating
I'm sorry I'm broken
I'm sorry I'm showing bruises
I'm sorry I'm in the house
I'm sorry I'm living here
I'm sorry I'm accepted
I'm sorry I'm alive
I'm sorry I'm me
But apologizing wont change anything, so I'll do something about it.
