On My MindYou've been on my mind for quite some timeOn My Mind in Free Verse More Like This
And I really can't do anything about it.
I watch you go through life day by day ,
You never knowing that all of what you do I love it.
You smile at me,my life's complete as sad as it sounds,I can't avoid it.
You talk to me my heart it beats,I'm unable to slow it.
I don't know why,but you make me smile
and that's why I love you,
and that's the end of it.

Just say to yourself,
"I am nothing like the rest of them
I am no ones friend"
They try to tell you,over and over again,
That you're pretty too,But
You'll never believe them,
But that non-sense is true,
Honestly,they look plastic and fake
In your mind,that screams perfection.
While you are real and you have your
Beautiful imperfections.
Tell me why does beauty matter?
So much to you?
Its all societies fault
It is completely screwed
What happened to having brains?
To having a genuine heart?
What matters is more all
Beauty and glamour galore
But one bit of advice I give to you
Look in the mirror

But I won't in case you want to kiss me first.
I want to promise you that I'll never hurt you the way she did,
But you don't know that I know.
I want to shout it to the world that I finally have you,
But we're keeping it quiet to see what we are.
I hate that,I hate not being able to tell the world that you are mine,
and I am yours.

there's nothing surrounding me but four black walls

Looking for a source of light,

There's more and more nothing-ness the further I go
I keep imagining I see a light just a little while ahead
but as soon as I get closer
it disappears into the night.
It's lonely here
I feel isolated
I want to cry
I wonder have I died?
I feel a cold chill go down my spine
it makes me shiver like the leaves

I want out of this place but there are no exits

He'd left the only girl who ever loved him through thick and thin.

There's a difference between darkness and nothingness. Darkness is being a temporary resident of rock bottom, a shadowy state of melancholy that's only motivated by the fact that you can only go up from there. Dark can be converted to light, slowly but surely, so that we have a glimmer of hope. Nothingness? It's being totally numb to the reality surrounding you. It can only be reversed if you put your entire soul into making something out of nothing. Trust me, I would know.
