Simply Yourself

Can you be simple? And can you be yourself?
Can you look past the lies, and learn to love yourself?

Not one thing is completely crisp or clean,
Everything has flaws, many go unseen.

Nothing alone is only black or white,
Don't ignore the grey areas, don't put up a fight.

In your own way you're perfect, no need to change a hair,
You, yourself, one of a kind- no one can compare.

So don't analyze every problem, different is always good,
When looking in the mirror, do you see what you truly should?

Would you dare to criticise God's work?
Love your freckles, blemishes, and every little quirk.

Even though life is hard, think before you act,
Need something for thought, or a helpful fact?

Be always your own, simple and true,
Even at your darkest, there is light in you.

I feel BLEU

All I can do is remember, try hard not to forget,
Even though it caused problems, I still don't regret.

Not your eyes, or smell, or the kiss on your lips,
My hands in your hair, your hands on my hips.

Soft and simple, till someone had to interrupt,
Bringing our moment to a stop- so abrupt.

Angry, upset, frightened to lose,
His bestfriend, so now I feel used.

What keeps us from the future- an inconvenient past,
Now you're taking a step back, you're getting out of here fast.

So back to the beggining, the good and the new,
Forgetting the problems, but remembering you.

Moutains

Rocky and uneven, you catch my eye,
The mysterious creatures, sneeky and sly.

Covered in tress, sheltered in shadows,
Enjoying the smooth, grassy meadows.

Your footholds untrustworthy, your handholds- unfaithful,
I slip and I trip, your amuesment is hateful.

Dark and gloomy, you strike me with fear,
But then cheering me up, bird-song catches my ear.

Looking I see something I would never guess,
Your elaborate structure is a beautiful mess.

Never take anything for granted, because you never know when it's your last,

Your last smile, your last laugh, your last kiss, it could all end so fast.

 

And don't be quick to anger, or turn your back and glare,
Sometimes it's the easy thing to do, but it shouldn't be hard to care.

Never pass up an opportunity, for someone’s heart might sink,

An encouraging nod, an enthusiastic wink, might do more than you think.

So go and spread a good mood, and know someone has it worse than you,

Lift them up, make them smile, take away their "blue".

Please don't forget to giggle, act silly and care-free,

Don't regret the moments, be still or stressed like me.

And last but not least, remember to love, don't bottle up your hate,

Show her in everything you do, and for my sake- please don't wait.

Cover up

My laugh is sweet, it fills the wind, loud because I don't care,
I like to dance, in my socks, my turns are in the air.

Sometimes I smile, and some are winks, but today I combine the two,
A happy nod, a silly shove, something to forget you.

Compliments and encouragement, my attitude of bliss,
Singing loud, a happy song, ignoring the something I miss.

Today I truly try so hard, to listen and to hear,
Taking my mind off silly things, earasing all my fears.

I do my makeup pretty, because all I want to do is make up,
Mascara, eyeliner, shadow and blush, but today, I have already used all my cover up.
