Perfect.
Just-
Just perfect.
Everything,
Every bit
And part
Of me
Is torn
And broken.
Even my handwriting.
I see girls all around me
With their loops and their curves
Perfect, neat handwriting
And look down at mine.
It
Sucks.
Why can't it look
Like everyone else's?
Aren't I kind enough,
Or smart enough,
Or just enough
To be that much?
Everything about me is
Wrong.
All the mistakes I've made
Written on my face…
I take the blame
And take it hard.
But I survived.
Will I survive now?
Looking down at my handwriting.
Illegible…
Not perfect.
Why can't I be perfect
Like you and your
Pretty little friends?
I try to be nice,
But it gets hard when
I can compare
Everything I'm not.
It's everything you are.
Handwriting
Is just one of the ways
I feel myself slowly
Break.
Sometimes I wonder how much I can take.
It's days like this
I wish I didn't exist.
I'd leave you with nothing
If nothing weren't already
There.
I gave myself up
To be perfect like you.
Perfect grades,
Perfect hair,
Perfect body.
It was all I ever wanted.
But now I'm done.
I'm so done.
With everything.
With you.
And maybe you'll be happy to
See me leave.
Or maybe you won't be.
Watch me not stay and not see.
Turn my back on the world
And all I ever loved.
Just to say to myself
"Enough is enough."
Because I'm done.
And it's sick.
To think how hard I've tried
To be like you.
And you're already
So perfect the way you are.
Just take the compliment.
Why don't you try, though?
Why don't you need to try?
I've tried so hard…
But enough about me.
What about you?
I'm sure that's what everybody
Expects me to say.
But I can't.
Anymore.
Please.
I told myself
'It's fine now…'
'Enough is enough…'
Am I enough?
So why do I even try?

I love you doesn't have to be said
You like to think
that you're not emotional, but
yeah right, I've seen you all
worn down before, you didn't cry
but you might as well have,
I see your drunk I love you texts
and the way you try to go around
words to make me feel better
and the time you take to stay
by our side and it makes me realize
that you're just putting up a front,
that really you will miss
walking side by side with us
even though you don't want
to admit it
I love you too
I used to like to think that I
like being alone, that I could live
my life all by myself because
people are frustrating, careless,
they will abandon you
with the slightest nudge when
they are th

I’d make a fool of myself To cheer you up Any day of the week
Literature
And Just Like That Letting Go Feels So Much Easier
There's something life changing in the way you tap your pen against the desk.
I'm not just saying so to sound poetically nice on page,
but because with the click of your pen meeting wood I can see myself on the other side, being caught in your gaze when you look out over your glasses.
I see myself telling you how annoying it is.
You sticking your tongue out and laughing.
I would say it not because the sound drives me crazy,
but because seeing you laughing does.
When I say something as small as a nervous tick is life changing it's because I can feel you changing my life.
Even in the small moments.

"But don't you think it'd be fun
If you were different from everyone?"
OMG. HOW'D I MAKE THAT RHYME.
