I was stupid
I was dillusional
to think a guy like you
could ever love
ever like
ever notice
a girl like me
a girl like me who
had fully given my heart to you
it was a fragile heart
fragile and bandaged
from many heartbreaks before
and you
you gorgeous guy you
dropped it like the insensative
immature
jerk
you really are
but why stoop to name calling?
we aren't nine
so why do you act like your six?
I'm not ugly
I'm a prize to covet
I am something worth love
I have moved on from you
so call me names
magnify my imperfections
I'll be the bigger person
and over look
this lapse in maturity
it is a lapse?
or is it really you?
if it is...
I'd like to see you
try and find a girl
who will take your crap
so go
leave the peices
I have left of my heart
my love
my confidence
and go
haunt some other
poor girls heart

This peice portrays an incident in my life that was a little hard for me. We all know how most teen agers already have a very fragile self esteem. Nobody needs someone repetedly clawing at it just so that we feel bad about ourselves. And for a very long time I had one of those people draging they're nails across my un-stable self belief. It was a guy who I had mistakingly told that I had liked him and he went ahead to repeatedly call me bad names and ugly things. This is for all the people who need a little recognition that there are people out there who are going through the same things you are. Be it an abusive family, relationship or heartbreak. No matter what the circumstances there is someone out there who has gone or is going thrpugh the same things.
