Perfect, Perfect
She is Beauty-
Walks with grace-
Perfect smile on a perfect face.
Got it all,
Or so they think-
Hides it all behind a perfect wink.

Wedding Day
Lipstick stains on wedding days
Smiles that turned a different way
Standing there she's waiting, waiting
In pain, but always praying
Raining, pouring
Intently listening, but ignoring
Gun shots firing in the distance
Well of course she's going to miss it
One last bullet- gone astray
Shot down on her wedding day

Instead
I'm the girl in the corner with her hair hiding her face.
I'm the girl in the back room with lace around her legs.
I'm the girl standing in the rain
I am crying out, each tear in vain.
I'm the girl with her heart shut up tight.
I'm the girl who's shutting down inside.
I'm the girl who plays with razor blades.
I am the girl without a name.
I'm the girl who's on her own.
I'm here with you, but all alone.
I'm the girl with the world on her shoulders.
I'm the girl who's waiting 'til she's older.
I'm the girl who hasn't eaten yet.
I'm the girl you all have met.
I am the girl with all this pain
Who holds it in and smiles instead.

Prayer (free verse)
I need some time alone. Some time in my head. I need to unwind somehow.. Untangle all these thoughts.... Of chasing dreams and running away from them. I need to find myself. Figure out who I am. God where are you tonight? Do you have a minute or two? I could use some help down here. See, I've got a problem. My mind is going 90 in a 55. My heart's racing my body and they're both up in flames. There's so much smoke that I can't see. Could you send a dropp of rain or two? Perhaps then I could decipher this mess a little easier. I'm in need of some directions as well. It seems I've lost my way in this deceitful maze of a life. The truth is, Lord, I am weak and I am scared. I am tired from running as hard as I have been.. Not even knowing where I've been headed. I am tired, Father. So tired from trying. I am empty from losing everything I ever had. I am alone in this, Lord. No one understands but you and Ana*. And Ana isn't around to console me.... Only to pull tighter these chains around my neck. So please be with me tonight. I need some company. All I ask is a shoulder to lean on. Because no one else is around....
*Ana- anorexia
