What would you change?
The way the inner soul endangers itself with an impulsive allusion.
What would you change?
My stomach flutters,
My heart pounds so fast and loud I can hear it in my ears.
Boiling blood rushes through my body to my cheeks,
All when I see you.
I’m with you,
You seek out attention,
Like a lion preying on a gazelle.
You put up an act,
Like a play directed out of a book.
You hold up a wall blocking your feelings,
The way your hair falls perfectly across your face,
Like waves in the sea.
Your eyes sparkle,
Like the midnight stars.
Your smile,
In love
Your heart gains a sharp feeling,
Like a dull pencil.
Your eyes sparkle,
Like tinker bells light as it dies out.
Love,
It stops your heart
Trapped in an image,
Afraid to be judged by the people around us
Not being who you’re suppose to be,
Forced to be what the world wants to see,
What they think is right.
They ask me if I’d ever change my address
If I’m scared to sleep at night
If I have extra locks on my door
Or if I’ve ever had to fight
When I step off the bus, I’m told to pray
The world is coming to an end.
Your life is spiraling downwards.
No one sees your pain
behind that fake smile.
People are blind.
They see your scars
and think you want attention,
