Independent Princesses

When we were children, we listened to the stories our mothers told.
We wished so badly to be the princess, beautiful and loved by her people.
We wanted to live in a tower, books and talking animals our friends.
Hoping the prince would come, the hero who swoops in to save the day
but as time went on we come to learn, the prince can't always be relied upon.
You got left waiting in the tower, while the prince ran off and had his fun.
So we climb down proud and strong, the heroes have left us to our own devices.
And so we come to the realization, that a hero can be anyone, so we don't need the prince to slay the dragon, we're just as capable as any man.
We are the heroes of the adventure, and we can write the story an our own.

"I'll Be There"

Everyone always says "If you ever need me, I'll be there." But when I do need someone, when I crying my eyes out in the corner thinking of bringing the blade out once again, when I can't find the motivation to get out of bed, when nothing feels right and all I want to do is cry and have someone tell me it's okay, nobody's there. Never. So how am I supposed to believe you when you say "Trust me, I'll be there no matter what. All you have to do is call.", but when I do call, you're busy or ignore the ringing? How am I supposed to tell you when something is wrong when you never listen for the goddamn ringing?

My Late Confession

Maybe you light up my day. Maybe you make me smile through the darkness in my head. Maybe you make my stone cold heart beat again. Maybe you woke up the butterflies in my stomach and make them dance every time you touch me. Maybe I like you a hell of a lot more than I've let on but maybe I'm afraid to be close. Maybe it's because I'm afraid to lose you.

Living Art

I'm a fucking masterpiece with my chipped nail polish, pudgy tummy, touching thighs, unbrushed hair, smudged eyeliner, and faded lipstick. I may look a wreck, but that's just me. And I am a piece of art.
