Have you ever noticed all the superheroes in your school?
That kid who's strong enough to lift things and throw them
at the other kid who's strong enough to actually take it.

Those popular girls, the cheerleaders
who always find the positive in everything
and have super cool elastic flexibility!

And those super cool independent chicks with their headphones in,
hoods up, shutting out the rest of the world.

Oh and of course those 'Clark Kent's who are so intellectual
leaving you puzzled and curious every time.
Those are the best kind of heroes because they're the underdogs.
You wouldn't think any of these guys would ever
be capable of being your Superman at Prom.
But you take away the glasses and then you'll really feel dumb.

There's all those cool superheroes hanging in the canteen,
spreading around like a bad cough in the playground
and then.. and then there's me.

Hi there.
I have the tendency to fade into the shadows of the ground,
My weakness is focal point.
The spotlight would burn against my sensitive skin like how
a sunrise would burn the skin of a vampire.
The attention of a million little lights
would be the cause of my own fire.

And if you look into my eyes..
If I let you,
You'll see my life flash right before yours,
you'll suddenly feel scared to know me..
but you'll care enough to try.

I guess you could call me Invisi-Girl!
'Cause I don't even wear a cloak,
nope,
I don't even need a cloak,
to be seen as the most invisible girl
in the world.

I get it,
I really do.
It was 'our little secret' too

I was scared,
and confused
threatened in the comfort of my own bedroom

..But what more could I do?
What can anyone do?
The insensitive tell you to move on from it,
your best friend is scared to heal your heart in case she stomps on it
therapists and teachers will never have a clue
and the girls who don't know you will even judge you

... So why make it harder for yourself?
I know you can't forget, but try to forgive.
I know you wonder why it happened to you but try to understand
you're much stronger than this.

Well you must be,
why else would God give you a battle like this?
If you speak up you'll be safe
you'll be the fighter who lives'

So be a little stronger.
Be a little braver.
No one's gonna hurt you
We're all gonna save you.

Be a little vulnerable,
its a gift that none of the popular girls have
because to me you're still innocent,
still wonderful even through the bad,
still beautiful even when you're sad.

..You thought no one would understand if they knew,
But I lived it, so believe me I do.

I'm gonna wait for a new love,
to scribble out the pain

the pain you left, inside my chest
here, where the ink from my heart pours
out your name.

My paper heart has lost it's beating
and I can't re write my past
so please just write the next few lines for me.
Please let our last moment last..

....

'Cause if love is communication,
and hearts are made of paper..
then let our mouths do the listening
and save the goodbyes 'til much, much later.

Oh I'm always gonna need you darling,
even when I'm old and scarring

And even when my thoughts get darker
you draw a smile on my face with a permanent marker
I can't erase all the troubles I have raised
But I can't deny that it's better this way,

Oh I'm always gonna love you darling,
even when we're far apart and
hating each others guts,
deep down you know,
'hate' has nothing on us

I'm sorry for the times I've been sad
but surely everybody feels like that
I'm sorry that I get this way,
Maybe tomorrow I'll decide to stay..

Oh but if I'm lost or I'm scared,
would you find me?
If I rot would you care?
Or just slightly?
Does it hurt when I'm crushed, when I'm broken
Am I worth any of your time,
can I keep on going?

'Cause I'm always gonna miss you darling
even if you're still right there beside me
Maybe you'll miss me too, or just slightly
.. Maybe I'm just needy
so guide me.

Mirror mirror, on the wall
Who's the most insecure of them all?*

sigh.

I don't even know why I try,
I can't even look you in the eye.
Oh mirror just tell me one more lie,
Tell me I am the most confident,
Most beautiful star in the sky..

Or better yet,
Show the world the me I am,
'Inside'
How confident and beautiful
I am when I don't care about
My 'outside'

Don't change yourself just to fit into a world,
that's constantly changing
Itself.

Here's to the girls,
With flowers in their hair

And to the guys who write poetry
To show that they care

Here's to a new page
Of a new book..
Of a new adventure..

Here's to being touched
By the kindness of a stranger

Here's to anyone who thinks
They're not 'one in a million'
You're the one who's worth a million
You're a star that lights up billions

Here's to you,
You light up everything

Nothing you ever say is irrelevant,
meaningless, or pathetic..
Always use your words for good,
and write passionately from the heart,
and that itself, will make you poetic.
You see, everything you say,
every message you convey,
and every point you plot
can make you sound either genius,
OR ingenious..

either way,
You're a genius. ;]

'Just don't fall in love with me'
Well you don't make it easy for me do you?

'Make sure the first person who kisses you, loves you'
Well you love me... don't you?

'You can't just sit there and put everyone's lives ahead of yours and think that counts as love.'
Well I've always been 'seen' as a wallflower, haven't I?

...

'Just don't fall in love with me'
But yours is the love that I think I deserve..

You say that life is cruel
Well maybe life isn't,
Maybe it's just the people who are.

Her name sinks into my skin
to kiss away the scars
She means more than just everything
but that's not why I love her.

Her eyes are the night,
and I'm the city, enchanted
her smile, her laugh,
is contagious.
But I promise, that's not why I love her.

Her voice is a melody,
of an Angel's choir
Her presence is a blessing
and just one touch leaves me inspired

Needless to say,
I could go on forever
But the reason I love her
is because she's not perfect, she's better.
