When i was younger, i saw a girl,
Her arms were white with scars.
And i thought how ugly it was
How inhuman
I wanted to close my eyes
Look away
But i couldn't
I wanted to tear the scars away
Make it better
But i couldn't..
Not so long ago i saw myself
The thin white lines
That seperate me
From you
Make me different
From him
Or her
And i smiled for
I am unique
And in all that ugliness
I am beautiful
I sit in the corner of a long-forgotten cafe
Sipping my latte and remembering long-forgotten days
When a girl bursts through the doors
Crying and in such a state
She startles me from my thoughts and latte because
A cafe this forgotten should have no dramas
Two girls come up to her and comfort her and
I can only assume they are friends
They act like they are long lost or
Long Forgotten so close are they.
I hear in sobs and starts how she-
Was hurt-
How she-
Trusted him and he's let her-
Down.
And the long forgotten friends comfort her
Just as they should. With soothing words
And hugs.
And they tell her that soon he'll be long

Literature
Labeling's not jus for jamjars
Labeling isn't just for jam jars
Have you ever walked through your town or city and seen someone and instantly labeled them? I have. It's stereotyping, it's labeling, and it's wrong. But it's also part of nature and if I'm honest; I love it.
I saunter through the streets of Cambridge in my far-too-wide-at-the-bottom jeans and bright red coat, that when I bought it stood out but now blends in with the other 13 thousand red coats around, and I people-watch. I think I get it from my mom, on the basis that my dad doesn't really notice anything and my mother is very judgmental. She'll sit at the back of a cinema, and she'll actually get there ea
We sit and we type, and we stare at our screens
We all have to wonder, what this possibly means.
With our mouse we roam, through the rooms in a maze
Looking for something or someone, as we sit in a daze.
We chat with each other, we type all our woes
Small groups we do form, and gang up on our foes.
We wait for somebody, to type out our name
We want recognition, but it is always the same.
We give kisses and hugs, and sometimes flirt
In IMs we chat deeply, and reveal why we hurt.
We do form friendships - but - why we don't know
But some of these friendships, will flourish and grow.
Why is it on screen, we can be so bold
Telling our
Long gone past rest
with something in my head
like that fly
buzzing against the flickering light bulb
high above my head.
And my stomach's pointless glug
like a soup bowl stirred with
stainless steel knives
fills my ears
blocked by the sound of silence
growing thought by thought
as I lie here alone
and wish to be held.
Warm and safe, help me to forget
those awful things that take over my head
all over again.
As I lie awake under my bed
curled up, frozen
I can't even feel the pain,
I don't want to try.
And I'm dreaming of who I want to be
but it's just borrowed theme
as I stand and fall,
stare consistently up at the star
I sit in the corner of a long-forgotten cafe
Sipping my latte and remembering long-forgotten days
When a girl bursts through the doors
Crying and in such a state
She startles me from my thoughts and latte because
A cafe this forgotten should have no dramas
Two girls come up to her and comfort her and
I can only assume they are friends
They act like they are long lost or
Long Forgotten so close are they.
