Literature Text

Don't think I can't tell when I'm not wanted.
I've seen how I'm ignored.
I always feel like a tag-along, a third wheel,
Like I don't belong.
I've noticed how it's always me following you,
And you just don't have the heart to send me away.
I can tell you don't really want me.

I know a girl

I know a girl that I fell in love with I want to hold her hand I want to feel her skin I want to taste her lips Just like I did before I know a girl that I fell in love with I fell in love with her tiny nose I fell in love with her spirkling eyes I fell in love with her lovely voice so beautifull nothing like I'd heard before I know a girl that I fell in love with I know she likes me too But still... She chose for the other The other that rejected her

My Girl

Every day with her is better than the last Like I've died and gone to heaven I can't remember a time before her Zero memories of that time remain And I wouldn't trade that for anything Because my girl is an angel sent down just for me Ever loving and sweet Together I pray we'll always be Here in our own little world

Beautiful Androgyny

Sometimes, I can convince myself it is just a phase, And there will come a time I won't feel this way. Those times come, and I desperately pine for the day... Other days, I feel myself full of strength to accept, And I think I can go ahead without a single regret. That is when the thought of winning sounds like a safe bet. Most of my lift is spent somewhere in between. Certainty and confusion split by a line that is not clean. Masculine and feminine aspects of me intermingling. Maybe that is why I find such beauty in androgyny. I love the idea of being able to be anything. It is with elegance that I could be everything.

The Girl Who Was Afraid To Be

She speaks to me fondly of passions and talents, of guitars and stars, with such breathless intensity then stops short and apologises for speaking at all. All because somewhere in her life, someone she loved broke her heart by ignoring her beautiful words and telling her to shut up, keep it down, nobody cares. People aren’t born sad. We make them that way.

My Worst Ememy

I can't stand her, The girl in the mirror. She's me, but not me. She's the girl the world sees, Happy and always laughing, Always kind and polite, As friendly as she needs to be. That's not me. I'm sad and feel like crying, Kind to only the people I know and like Faking friendliness to strangers when I have to. I can't stand her, The girl in the mirror. She's annoying with all she pretends to be. I want to be someone else. I'm tired of the constant fights with her, She always wins. So I take it out on her when I'm alone, And no one can stop me. I'm my own worst enemy, You see. Mentally beating myself up, At first, Try

Anorexia

'You're so skinny!' 'You don't need to lose weight!' 'You look great!' Lies…all lies. I know the truth. Too many pounds here, too many there. Hips, stomach, butt… I want it all gone. I need it to be gone. Eat less, exercise more…it's such a simple problem to fix. So I eat when I need to. Doesn't even need to be everyday. It's usually something small. Carrots, celery, a handful of nuts…It's just enough to get me through the day. You want to know my daily routine? Fine. I run a few miles everyday. It took some time to get used to it, but I had to adjust to reach my goal. No one else knows I do it. I wake in the wee h

I Am The Ghost

I am the ghost that walks these halls, The noises you hear behind the walls, The swirls and eddies that chill the air, The squeaks and creaks upon the stairs. I am the presence that makes your skin crawl. I come in the night when the darkness falls. Black is my colour, and black are my calls, Black are the shadows I always wear. I am the ghost. I am the thoughts you don't want to recall, The ones you recoil from, shocked and appalled. I am all of your secret fears and despairs, Every anxious thought, every burden you bear. I am the you that scrawls all over these walls - I am the ghost.

Gender Binary

Recently I realised I wasn’t a proper woman. Everything that was taken for granted as being female, didn’t seem to fit. But at the same time I didn’t completely identify with the idea of a “typical” male. I appreciate that these are just stereotypes, but there’s truth in stereotypes. I have decided I am biologically female but essentially..have no gender. This might be hard for you to understand, it was definitely hard for some people to understand when I’d talked about it to them! It never dawned on me that “the average person” never wondered about what it would be like to be the opposite gender,

Anonymous

I am the girl who hides between moth eaten paper backs And slips into bookstores and devours leather bound spines I am chloroform lips bitten down, red and rosy Ink stained finger tips that fold book pages between my pupils I'm the girl who drowns herself in coffee and cough drops While remaining curled between Tennyson and Steinbeck Wasting days wondering why grass is green And how it can be greener for others and not I Then I realized its all artificial food colouring And polystyrene picket fences Sticky notes yellowed at the edges reminding myself how to smile I've pasted them on my skin in makeshift paper Mache armour But l

This is to all my friends. I love you, but sometimes I really feel like this. And it's proven to me everyday when I'm ignored because somebody better came along, and even by how some of you won't read this. Comments and criticism please.
