When you see the collier's son abroad,
With his pigment like your heart ―
Pardon, pardon, sir!
Do not show him the gun.

The very dawn breeze rustling the waving leaves;
Shining bright amid the morning sun mild rays,
The happy butterfly pure as white with tints of black
Now wings across the violet flowers beauty-struck.

You can mentally, verbally and
Physically abuse me
Try to lower my self-esteem
I will not break

I slumped beneath an ancient oak tree

And hissed about the
previous day

When on the branch beside me stood a striking blue jay

What do we really know about
being fake?
Is it just a slander word people use
because they have no other means
to communicate?
 
Is fake the definition of someone who talks
behind your back?
Is it your superior, who you considered a friend,
that never cuts you any slack?

Drinking, Dancing
Sounds like a party
Does my mother notice me?
 
Deep voice scolding me
Hard, rough hands beating
Me repeatedly
Does my mother notice me?

Summer Rain

Right now my world is hectic. High school isn't how I've expected.
I've abandoned friends tossing them without any explanations.
I've ended two year relationships and I haven't tried on making any acquaintances.
I've studied and studied yet failed countless times.
