Mirror, Mirror on the wall who's the fairest of them all
I wish the mirror would say meBut when I look in it I don't like what I seeI don't like my hairI hate my eyesMy face is to fatMy hips are to wideMy breasts are to bigUgh I need to lose weightAnd it's so much more that I could sayI don't like meAnd that's a hard burden to bearAlways feeling inadequateLife's not fairNever being good enoughEverywhere I go it's like people are staring at meWhispering behind my backA sight for sore eyes So I duck off in a cornerCover my head and hideI hope that these people can't see That in actualityI don't like meAnd I wish I didn't feel this wayStruggling with this day after dayAnd when you don't love yourselfHow could you possibly love somebody elseNever feeling like your good enoughLow self esteem will have you stuckAlone and sadHating the worldWishing you could look like those other girlsYou know the beautiful ones on tvWhy couldn't that be me And I really try to look my bestBuying the latest fashionsKeeping my hair didManicure and PedicureMake up and heelsA smile on my face but deep down im cryingTrying to appeal to everyones tasteSo that they could never seeThat the truth isI don't like me

Charles2 says: deep inside there is always the seed of the most beautiful person imaginable. finding that person within us is the challenge. beautiful observation of the everyday enemy of the self. ourselves. may the final battle end in sweet victory and sweeter defeat. |

MysteryI am Whomever I chose to be Yesterday I was quiet they thought I was shy Today I am sassy snapping fingers and rolling eyes Tomorrow I will be fun, free spirited and full of life The day after I may be productive no time for hellos only goodbyes Who says we have to be the same person everyday Well for me that just won't do I have the right to be who I choose too I can change every day if I want too I do what I feel I follow my heart Tomorrow is a brand new day And with that day comes a brand new start So you'll know that I'm never the same Just like my feelings my personality change You may never know the real me I protect myself by being a mystery  |
Absence of PoetryFor a brief moment we grew apart I missed you so much I don't know where to start I have so much to tell you So many feelings to share I felt lost with you not being there My mind was filled with so many thoughts Lost in my head with no place to go A manifestation of hopes and dreams I thought I lost you forever That's how it seemed ALTHOUGH I felt you in my heart I just don't know It's like the words just wouldn't flow I put the pen to my paper Staring at a black page I couldn't express myself No progress for days Without you present I didn't feel like myself I didn't feel SoFloeticAndFree Yet somehow someway you have found me And once again my pen can flow free So floetically So poetically There is no stopping me You enviably motivate me To paint a picture with words Expressing myself so vividly I hope I never again have to experience the absence of poetry |
Saying GoodbyeI never meant to hurt you I hate to see you cry and I don't want to but I have to say goodbye I love you more than words can express but this relationship is causing too much stress When you lie to me it breaks my heart and when you cry to me it tears me apart because your so strong but your vulnerable with me you let down your guard and you allow me to see beyond the man that you appear to be and I will love you for that for eternity But as of now all I can see is the pain you caused when you hurt me Although it may be hard for you to see I didn't walk out that door you pushed me |
HaterA hater is not a hater Their a fan to meSmiling in my face but praying for my downfallFollowing me around keeping tabs on what I doDamn it must really suck to be youAnd yea I know you wish that you were meI see your eyes full of jealousy and envyMad at me because you feel shortNot enough motivation Belief in yourselfYour hate is gonna leave you all by yourselfLonely and sad Mad and confusedBecause you hate to see people do better than youSo you choose to talk s*** instead of doing better for yourselfNot enough motivation No belief in youTrap in a life thats miserable and sadDwelling on the life that you could have hadSomeone who has just accepted their circumstancesTo scared to get out here and take real chancesNegative and Fake A victim of societyThe person in the mirror is who you really hateNOT ME |
Searching for a wordIt wasn't love and it wasn't lust so when you played me I couldn't cry because I didn't love you and we never had sex so lust wasn't in the equationbut when i was with you i felt so Amazinglike i was in the sky floating on a cloudthe thought of you gave me a natural highand even though I feel hurt about what you didI can't find the proper word to describe this feelingI miss you but I can do withoutYour absence is felt but my days go by as normalAlthough I knew it was to good to be trueI can't find the proper word to describe what I felt for you |
DownYou build me up then you take me down DownDownDownDo you hear that soundThat's my heartbreakingas you ripped it out my chestshattered into a million piecesSpread out on the groundDownDownYou took me downleft me confused Mind twisted and tiredDizzy from all the circles I been running Trapped in a mazeA web of liesA prison of loveDownDownDownI hit the floorI can't get upI don't want you to leave but you don't love me no moreAnd I don't understand why because I gave me all to youI tried I triedTo be a good woman to youdown down downYou got a hold on meIt's as if my heart is controlling meTearsAngerHurtIt all describes meDownDownI'm drowningFalling in the deepDownDownLet go of me |
I can't love youI can't love you I can't love youIt's repetitive in my mindTime after time the thought replays in my headI can't love youI can't love you This can't be trueI'm confusedI'm lostI don't know what to doLoving you is wrong and I know thatYour like a forbidden fruitDo not enterThere's no way outI can't love youI can't love youI gotta convince myself this is trueMaybe if I say it enough I will believe itMy mind and my heart are not on the same pageNo,No this is not rightNot now Not everI can't love youI can't love youI'm so afraidBecause Love youI do |
Sistas In UnityWhy do so many woman hate on eachother Beatdown, and lie Downgrade one anotherDisloyal and not wanting to see the other one doing goodWhy is it so hard to give credit where credit is dueShe doing good Well let that motivate youSleeping with her manTalking about her clothesLaughing at her hairSlick remarks about her carTalking about her kidsThat's taking it too farI often wonder why women try to tear eachother apartWhy not give props to eachotherNone of us are perfectWe all have our own strugglesIs it so hard to keep it real Uplift and supportTogether we can buildCompliment herTell her she looks good todayIf shes struggling Tell her everything will be okPray that the Lord takes her pain awayStop fighting and sharing the same menLet's show eachother that together we can winWe can conquerWe ... |
AddictedIt's like an overwhelming feeling that I can't resist It strikes my nerves and gives me a twitchLike a drug addict looking for his next hitLike a robber searching for his next lickLike a heroin addict sticking a needle in his armFloating away to another worldOr an alcoholic relapsing when they first hit that bottleTaking them away from all their sorrowsI'm addicted to youAnd I don't know what I should doSee, I no longer want you but I need youI'm depending on you to get me throughFill me up Take me to the cloudsWhen I'm with you I'm floating awayI don't wanna go backWith you I'll stayI have lost everyone because of youBut I don't care because your all I needYour all I seeYour all I hearI don't need nobody else when your nearMy mind is consumed with thoughts of youYour the blood that pumps through my veinsYour... |
