Looking Through the Glass

by Megan   Aug 22, 2014


A walking awkward moment
On a mission, always early,
But somehow late for what's important.
An open book -
If you're reading,
But don't bother if you're misleading.
Tells you more than you need to know,
Shows more than should be shown,
But she'll mostly lock you out.

Loss of trust
Loss of hope
Loss of belief
Has made her bitter
Made her stronger.

Sleep is for the weak,
Caffeine running through her veins.
Waves and smiles -
Oops!
Thought I knew you...
Go on my merry way.

Because that's just me;
I'm a little bit crazy,
A little insecure -
That's for sure -
But I am honest
I am kind
I see the good in the bad you hide behind.
Fall in love at
First sight
Make-believe life flash before my eyes.
I'll let you hurt me,
But not my pride.
Cry when I'm happy, cry when I'm sad,
That's just me - I'll even cry when I'm mad.

Give it my all,
Then stumble and fall.
Hesitate
To get back up;

That's just me feeling like I'm not good enough.

Love with all my might
One too many chances;
Won't give up without a fight.
Bird's nest on her head,
Dreams and memories above her bed.
Barefoot
In the kitchen.
On the beach
Eating ice cream.

That's just me.
I'm impatient
I am wise -
Older than my age of disguise.
Think I know it all.
Family is my wonder wall.
A little boy
Named Theodore
Sandy hair and curls galore.
A future with a better man.
A future through a bay window,
And then -
Here I am
Still young and
Free;

Sometimes wish I was prettier,
Or maybe 23.
Wish I had a different voice,
Or face, or looks,
But that's not my choice.
It took a while,
But now I see
Not someone else;

I'm just me.
