Just a teenager
Grind it
Pack it
Light it
Inhale it
Exhale it
And just like that
I feel lighter, calmer, happier
Even though, I am technically a criminal
But in reality, I am just a teenager
I’m just a teenager that needs a break from the
mental health issues that seem to rattle around
my overcrowded skull

The modern day captor
Scrolling , scrolling
Hoping to distract myself
From the thoughts that run laps in my head
Never stopping to admire
Liking, liking
So maybe when I post
People might return the favour
And I can have that false sense of belonging
Watching, watching
Looking for something to entertain me
Unable to find it
So my eyes glaze over
Playing, playing
Games with no meaning
Never finishin...

Loving You Hurts
Loving you hurts
There are mornings I wake up, wondering if you survived the night
Hoping and praying that you didn't hurt yourself
Knowing that you probably
I worry I don't do enough
That I don't tell how much you mean to me enough
Waking up crying because I dreamt you had died
And it felt so real
If I could do anything to make stop your pain I would
But I'm p...

The Hypocrisy of Fashion
We’re told “express yourself, no matter what anyone else says”
Unless you’re different than me
Because anything different is repugnant and must be deterred
We make fun of others for not being original
While looking exactly like your group of friends
We’re blissfully unaware of how unoriginal we are
Who decides what’s deemed “cool”
Because I really don’t agree with a ...

It's Easier Not to Care
Despite me wishing it was different, you and I are more alike than not. But the biggest difference between us is you only care about yourself.
You choose to drink, so you can forget, while I smoke up to not care.
Not care about the millions of times you showed up late, drunk, or both. If you didn't cancel.
Not care about the times you've said things I know you don't mean, because it's not...

Love Not Hate
You know I keep hearing that we’re experiencing all these epidemics. Obesity epidemic, gun violence epidemic, suicide epidemic, and the debt epidemic to name a few. The way I see it, we’re only suffering from one and that’s a hate epidemic.
We hate ourselves so either stuff our faces, or starve ourselves. We hate others, so we shoot up our schools, churches, clubs, and concerts. We hate the...

We Have a Dream
(Just a note, that this is supposed to be set in the suffragette era)
We have a dream
That one day we’ll be more than our looks
More than our fathers or husbands accomplishments
We want to be valued for our intelligence
We have a dream
To have the possibility for success
To be more than wives, mothers, and maids
We want to have our chance at greatness
We h...
