Shayla On A Date

Wanta make you look good.
Wanta make you feel good.
Why the mask of clumsy  laughter?
I promise that it's not me.
I don't know?
What?
Yeah.
Mistaken for a fool,
But let me explain it to you.
It really isn't that strange,
But I've lived with it,
So how would I know?

Acid Rain

Dark in a hole.
Gravity escapes me.
Never knew anyone with a stronger heart,
Yet so weak in the knees.
Acid rain fell on me with,
The sensation of rubbing cotton.
I know where you are.
I'm just not the person to find you.
Find Me!

Answer Me!

Feelings of choking in the middle of the night.
Why do we have to leave the blinds open?
 Why does it matter if I close the door to the washer and dryer?
Buy  beauty, but always crave more.
"A girl like you would never wear that dress!"
"Yes ,Sir.  Yes , Mam."
With the habit of pleasing.
So many eyes I'm under.
I can still get away with wearing that dress to church!
These Bipolar rules, crazier than me.
Still don't answer me.
Should I wear the red dress or the black one?
Daddy ,Mommy please tell me!

With Life Ablaze

Fantasy and Fascination
Brighten and enblaze a life,
But can kill a dog,
If you know what I mean.
Never going to give in.
No mater how
Tired, weak,or waisted.
I will be strong
With life ablaze
To  lighten the way.

Poverty in a Four Bedroom Home

Inn 'n Out  never had.
Tacos with ketchup more like it.
Poverty in a 4 bedroom house.
Five cars parked in the driveway,
But nothing in the salad.
Apple for lunch,
How I hated PB sandwiches.
Never had a dress that
Mom didn't make me.
Felt like a burden for being alive.
Feelings of ,
"Never gonna live up to,
Never gonna be me."
"It's so hard for me.", people would say.
As soon as I get a child , never gonna be me.

Saturday Night

It isn't always a bad thing
 To want others to like you.
Wanting to be loved.
Loved because we sacrifice.
You came out of nowhere!
But I've fallen for you.
Saturday Night you'd rather not be here.
Well, than you don't even deserve a
Good Bye!

Forfeiting Hearts

Toes are pink.
Teeth are white.
Fingernails bitten.
Hair so short.
Almost Natural.
Playing games, but
Only with hearts.
We play fairly
And you know
We always forfeit
The game.
