Apology Poem (Beautiful)

Forgive me but my hair doesn't shine as brightly as hers.
My lips aren't as big or as cherry-red stained as hers.
My figure isn't an hourglass shaped.
And my voice doesn't sound like a choir of angels singing.

I'm sorry that you could only see my faults
but you see her beauty- as fake as it may be.
When I cry, I don't look pretty.
My eyes turn red and puffy plus my make up runs.
My skin isn't flawless, with red blotches and a pasty pale color rather than tan.
I'm sure she doesn't have these problems.

Most of all, I'm sorry that you couldn't see...
The me that has some good in her.
Why can't you be like him?
He sees me and he wants me.
I think it's time I move on from you
to someone who's worth it.
Yeah, he's like my small piece of happiness.
Too bad you weren't able to notice that.

My Story

Our life;
What mysteries are hidden in the recesses of our mind?
What paths in life have we taken to make us who we currently are?
Different shadows are at every corner.
Drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, depression, hate, and self-loathing.
A punch is thrown, and your confidence is gone.
Friends are made while others are lost.
Time is slowly slipping from our reach.
Which loves from our lives are broken?
A smile.
A kiss.
A hug.
Words are exchanged,
Feeling like you could conquer the world and everything it throws at you.
What secrets are shared with others?
What about the secrets that are still hidden from view?
A good grade. A failed class.
A game won. A relationship lost.
A new pet.
A birthday party.
Do the good outweigh the bad?
Vise-versa perhaps?
Maybe there’s a balance somewhere.
An amazing song that you sing along with.
Sleepovers.
Staying up late while watching the sunrise.
Walks after dark.
Swimming in the water on a warm summer’s day.
Drinking hot cocoa while your cheeks are flushed red from the cold.
Reading a story where you wish you could be the main character.
Adventures you’ve taken, that will last a lifetime.
Tears dripping down your face smearing your make-up as you say goodbye to someone you had once known.
Petty arguments between friends, then afterwards apologizing as you laugh about something ridiculous that happened that day.
We’re all growing up.
More life changing events will happen as the days go by.
Here's a life story,
What’s about yours?
