Poems Of all Kinds

Try.

Ever looked at the old you.

Pictures,

Videos,

Memories.

Take a look back.

I can't recognize that.

I can't recognize the smile,

The hair,

The style,

The voice.

The girl with goals.

The girl who thought she had a future.

The girl who listened.

The girl who did good in school.

The girl who was determined to do better,

To be the best.

Now she's just stressed.

Trying to meet standards.

Just trying to get by.

The day long.

But she tries.

Not putting in her all,

Until she starts to draw.

When she stands in the mirror,

She sees the flaws,

On her thighs,

Are old "cat claws".

She looks at the fat.

She thinks,

"I don't like that".

But instead of starving herself.

She tells herself to do better.

Try to workout.

Take care of yourself.

Cmon sweetheart,

Be number one,

I mean that, heart felt.

Baby,

Make others melt.

Strive to be on top.

Let nothing stop,

You in this process.

Don't put yourself down and try to "confess",

Your less.

Your Number one.

Be the list.

Raise your fists.

Try.
