If You're Anything Like Me

If you're anything like me
(which is very hard)
You have an unwanted love for kids movies even though you're thirteen.
And when you turn thirteen an irripressible mood cloud that won't go away.
If you're anything like me
You're sad when you don't read sad books and you think you'll be happy when you read the sad book.
But you can't find a book that's sad enough.
If you're anything like me
You want nothing more than to have someone love you.
Nothing more that to have someone ask you to a dance.
Nothing more then that.
If you're anything like me
You'll have your thirteenth birthday
But you won't feel like it's your thirteenth.
No, it feels like your fifteenth.
But nobody treats you like you're fifteen.
But you're ready.
If you're anything like me
You sometimes wonder if there's something wrong with you.
You almost want to find somthing wrong with you so you can stop thinking about it.
If you're anything like me
You try to play it cool but end up groveling to get to the top.
But you're at the top so it doesn't matter how you get there.
Right?
Wrong.
If you're anything like me
Everyone you meet will think you are so cool and edgy that they won't want to talk to you because they're scared.
But it's not true.
You have a kinder heart then them all.
If you're anything like me
You will have been able to read this without being incredibly sad.
Because this isn't sad.
This is life.
But you probably think it's sad.
Because you're not anything like me.
Because it's very hard.

  • Pebble

    I want to build you a castle, even though I can barely use a screw driver.
    I want to write you a song, one that would make you think of me on a whole new level,
    One you could listen to when we're apart.
  • Promise, Someday

    Someday.
    Someday we will hug and kiss like its no big deal,
    Wrap our arms around each other and walk down the street.
    Someday I’ll have a special name, that only you call me,
    Something that makes me smile,
  • Always something

    It's always got to be something.
    That one thing that takes the wind out from under your wings making you tremble,
    and fall.
    And it's always the something you generally expect,
    But hoped wouldn't happen.
