Labeled an extra after sixteen years of never surrendering.
Becoming a quiet murmur in a background of a thousand,
until the exploding power of "o's" and "a's'",
When I was a kid
My opinion meant very little to others
I was told that silence is better than to be heard
This became a problem for me
Because society constantly made me out to be the enemy
I am vast and I am blue and more than you can see
I am loud and I will be heard by everyone
So with this crash I say -No- I decree
That I am my own being and I cannot be undone
As a child,
your first friend,
who promises to be there 'till the very end.
That day in 3rd grade,
when she finds someone new.
Tells you that you were never quite good enough,
dear present,
i am the target of a thousand arrows.
the bullseye for a thousand knives.
the dartboard for a thousand hateful words.
Congratulations
To the people
Who can go throughout life without weight on their bodies
Congratulations
To the people who became professional whisperers
They don't know anything about me.
All they know is that they don't like me.
They don't know what happens at home a place where I'm alone.
All they know is that they don't like me.
Why do i complain? What can i solve?
Just a girl standing at five one, I couldn't stand tall if my God had blessed me so.
A loser from a small town,
in one small school
in one small district
Voices everywhere
Running in my mind
Cannot let it destroy my life
Ignore, Ignore, Ignore,
Don’t let anything stop me
Believe in myself
Ignore negative voices
BELIVE in my CHOICES
A baby, not even a moment oldIts story is unwritten, clean, untoldGrows into a child, encouraged to fulfill his dreamsJust be sure to fit within society’s scheme
Every time I walk around
The bullets puncture me
The bullets of your eyes
Your stare, the way you watch me
It stings into my soul
but you know what
I can get shot and survive
Push me down again,
I dare you.
Shove my head down in the sand.
Make it so there is no air.
So that no words can be spoken.
What would be new?
Let me be me
Stop criticizing every move I make
Stop judging me, without fair play
You make me out to be the villain
Though I am the victim
For years you acted out
