In an upside-down garden

I look in the mirror,
each day.
And then I have to,
look away.
There's something there,
that I didn't want to see.
And that something,
just happens to be me.
But what can I do,
if I'm not satisfied.
With my self,
when I really have tried.
To be what I want,
and I want to know.
How can I change,
how will I let go?
I want to know,
what you see.
Everyday when you,
look at me.
And you say I'm perfect,
beautiful to you.
But I've tried to convince myself,
there's nothing I can do.
Untill you tell me,
what do you see?


Don't wander throught this glassy surface, expecting to find more than me, because what I am without a purpose, but a lone mirage to see.

Alysa, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.  But its not what you can see in the mirror.  Beauty is what makes people glow.  And that can only come from deep within you.

I hope you find out who you really are soon.  Ok, that sounded funny, but I don't really know how else to say it.  You need to like you for you, and not worry about what other people want.  What is it that you feel you have to let go of to change???  And what is that you want to be that you think you can't be? I think you did a great job with the poem, it really is fantastic.

Okay,thanks all for replying. Well, here's the scoop. At lunch at school the other day I was singin' Eminem's the way I am with my friend tom and his gf Lauren, and this guy Bobby said to me "you don't look like someone who would listen to Eminem. You look like a prissy little white girl, like a Britney Spears wannabe." And I was like, "yeah sure."
I mean, Britney Spears has one good song, and that's Lucky, and whenever I hear that I cry b/c of Justin, so anyways, I listen to more than just Eminem, like other groups that ppl make fun of me for, and stuff, and I put my hair in braids today so it would get kinky, and they called me a child of Eminem. And that's not who I am, g2g. Allysa

You know what? You give too much as to what people say to you. I DONT CARE what people say to me. I mean, catch me on a horrible day and i just might pay attention a bit and feel hurt, and then move on after i get it through my head that they know crap about me, but look girl......i think you rock.....dont give in to their petty insults and put downs......screw them. hahahaha know what i say to people who screw with me? I say "You are a nobody and will be a failure in all things to come, just hide yourself from society and wither".....that gets them all the time. Something intellectual and mean as hell. But hey, I only say that when they deserve it. Hahaha....ok and hardly anybody deserves that!!!!! So yea, stay cool...dont drop out of school. Forks all the way!



I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

Dopey: I don't care what ppl think about me. Sometimes it's just hard that when the person that matters most doesn't seem to care. And forks all the way!!!!!
