My nail polish is all coming off 
I should get it done again soon
I look nice because my clothes are tight
But I feel dirty if I think about what we did
And walking through the cafeteria
He's standing behind a pillar 
And he looks at me with piercing eyes 
Almost jump out of my skin 
If I get in trouble for it 
I talk to you
But that's a personal case
So maybe not
I'll ask you the weekly invitation
And you'll reject it again

And I cried because I want You
Oh that my ways would be faithful in keeping Your decrees
Oh that I would hunger and thirst for You
But don't just try to stop
Stop 

I felt like I wasn't doing anything with my life
But what could I do?
Maybe I don't have to do anything
But that's hard
I mean difficult 

I know he was joking with me so that's a compliment
"She's a bad influence"
They're trying to play with me
Do they know it won't work?

Wear black so the mosquitos are attracted to it 
I was joking with you
I'm not mourning
Move on with life you said
I know
For a while I didn't

I'll talk to you later
I love you but so often it's painful

What does "no comment" mean? 
I would like a comment on that
A thought 
You know that person more than I do

No comment means yes sometimes
What are we on?

It's so hot now since the better seasons left
Not restful anymore
I almost fainted
So I didn't finish lunch

You remind me of Jane Austen 
Like a Henry Tilney vibe 
And I don't know what to do
I even googled it 
''If a guy likes you, you just have to exist"
Got it
How do I normally exist?
I forgot 

It's okay
It'll work out
I prayed
For all of it

Relying on music like an addict

I should make a force field analysis on the current events in my life 

I did and it's too much to remember if I were to voice record it 

Someone said ocean eyes before
But that was more crystal
Yours are more coral reef
And I like them because they swim around like turquoise whirlpools
And they're bright; you look nice
Glazed the table, glaze me like a doughnut, thinking, swimming
Hysterical, like you 
Into the distance, moving so freely
Man hug like untainted sparkles 
And I shuddered
I would like them on me, actually 
I don't mind when I see them, actually 
I normally don't like blue eyes, but dang 

They scare me enough 
But you look alive 
You look innocent
Until you texted me later and I had to sit down and recuperate from the words
You like all the things I always wanted 
You're bold enough  
We're from the same place, three times over
Even though I couldn't go to your school, I would probably die 
Eyes and music are the best drugs

Sardonic because I got them both in trouble 
Detention all day 
But I could care less
And I found a personality now
I'm not unconfident anymore
Like I was for the rest of my high school

You scare me like -- how did I get to the point where I want to feel it 
If it breaks me I want to know how it feels 
To be discarded and cry 
To be dead broken 
Without you 
Like if it hurts so be it 
Touch me til it's all I feel 
Because you're you 
And I might squeeze you in my heart after like a germ that won't leave 
Like the times you felt bad and you wanted to stop
And you told me how I wasn't enough for you
How I wasn't worth it 
And I'll remember you in black-and-black behind me at church 
And our dads praying together
Mine crying on a mic 
I talked to you once and you smiled
But now it hurts
It's okay though
To act like we've already gone so far 

My friend got hurt by the likes of you 
But did they ever feel bad 
They know it destroys them
I saw it in his eyes in Mondulkiri 
Consumption 
Like bones scraping bones and everyone tears
My wounds are still open 
Eating at her like she's a chicken leg 

And new life was created
3 years ago I had a hard night
It was like the beginning of things
But so much has passed since then
And we have new people
April 12, February 17 
Say goodbye and listen sometimes to what my friends think 
She said that was like me
Thanks
Go swimming again at night
Or go on at least 3 walks with my hips and feet breaking
Left my mom at the hospital all day and it's so worth it

Go ahead and change your mind
Because no one's forcing you 
It would be really weird but why not 
It sounds kind of fun 
I always have problems saying no
You can stay home from school
I want to too
Pulling my eyelashes out at dinner 
And it being a mystery always makes it more exciting
Like what's behind blue eyes always scares me
The thoughts that play out like a record
And how's your mental state
And everyone said you're the reddest flag
Until you hit me up like 
I don't want to use you
I don't want to be wrong here

You look like me

Plenty of ruinous devices that were dreamt into reality 
But how many of us were actually sane
Looking like the only person that's real in a crowd 
Eyes on the road but are they actually seeing
Tall enough that everyone can see and no one takes notice
Class clown who swished a three 
But that's the only shot you'll make in your whole life 
Who could know you'd change in every way and still the be the same 10-year-old 
But we try to destroy tender love and care 
Reduce our chances to ever find it 
Because the bitter feels good on your throat 
To casually destroy things before they exist 

Not to write the most graphic poem
Left in a dark room
Like a safe but it's not 
Pieces of you broken off like clay 
Where if you're open so are they 
And you're safe enough to be in danger 
The only person to blame is yourself 
When you drive on the streets and remember places you used to be 
People you were once
How it all broke down and you had to build it all up again
Don't break it down again
They're all people too 
Like when we threw rocks into the river in the forest
Like the bus stations with sand on the ground
Used to the typical 
Now it all looks like a dream that was very vivid 
You trying to be cool before you figured out how 
Eyes start leaking and you punched walls
I remember the dark days like an old friend
And it's over now
With a couple weaknesses I didn't have before
With my earphones still on highest volume sometimes 
But without you the way I used to have you 
And time didn't stop 
I remembered how to live a little now
Good to see you're still your dad's son 
We copied their walks together 
Have a good time with no school 
Like I wish I was 
But yours has so much more drama
But it's our fault 
If everything's pink
I won't let you now that you've changed your mind
Tell me to my face no pun intended 
But you're a guy of course
Will you still text me?
Us in person is the most awkward thing 
If you saw me two years ago I'm not even recognisable 
Do you ever white lie? 
No one ever teased me because I was ''too nice''
Now they do, it's refreshing
