Mornings I get up in the morning and rub my eyes, And the sun never fails to give me a surprise. Breakfast is always a slow affair, And I always tend to stop and stare. My brother and sister get ready around me, The cat races around as though it has to pee. I head to the shower and it's always the same, No hot water left after my brother came. I get dried and get dressed then walk on out, Only to give a little shout. Time is running out, I'm going to be late! And my hair is in a terrible state! I brush my teeth, the braces are sore, I race into my bedroom, then back to the front door. The doorbells a ringing, the mailman's here! The dog barks at him so he runs away in fear. I brush back my hair and put on a headband, Then step out the front door and see a marching band! I continue to the car, feeling like a boss, That's until I realise... Being late comes with a cost... Everything actually happens except for everything after the crazy hair part XD

I Really Do Love You I've never felt this way before. And I can't say it's something I really adore. With just one glance you just tear me apart. I didn't realise until now that you'd stolen my heart. I'm sorry you weren't the one I first told. I'm sorry I can't fit into the mould. Of all the other beautiful girls out there. I'm sorry I always stop and stare. It's just that when I look at you I forget how to breathe. When I look at you it's like my brain decides to leave. I'm sorry I can't get you out of my mind. I'm sorry I try too hard to be kind. I'm sorry I can't be who you want me to be. I'm sorry I try too hard to make you see. I'm sorry I'm annoying. I'm sorry I'm overbearing. I'm sorry that I'm just all sorts of wrong! It's just that I'm not very strong! I'm sorry I can't be the one for you. But oh how I wish, I wish you knew. I die each time you look away. I've got so much but so little to say. I wish you could know I just want you to hold me. I wish you could know that my heart's a lock and you have the key. I wish you could know how your eyes make me feel. That they make me wonder if you are even real. But most of all. Before I stall. Before you think my feelings aren't true. Let me tell you that I really do love you. #poems <3 It's just that people always say that 13 is too young to fall in love but what I'm feeling must be more than a crush... Oh how I wish... xx

The Only One For Me You're everything that I need, You're everything that I want. And even though it's over, I'll give it one last shot. I won't think about giving up, I won't let you tear down these walls around me. I won't wish you good luck, I won't go until you see. You're the only one for me. Made that up on the spot just then. It's a song, not a #poem.

He Had Me At 'Hello' It's always the same; I wake up with the sun, I shower, get dressed and take a walk down the path to do my shopping. Sometimes I stop to smell the flowers. And that's what I did today. It was a beautiful, bright and sunny day with a brilliant blue sky and not a cloud in sight. I stopped at a patch of daisies, my favourite flower, and plucked a few from their bush, pocketing them to make a chain later. I stood and stared at all the beautiful flowers, until I heard a deep voice behind me. "Hello." And what a voice it was. It was as deep as the bottom of the sea, as bright as a million suns, and as mysterious as the Mona Lisa's smile. Oh, how it caught me. I turned, and saw that he was as beautiful as his voice. That spiky, blond hair was absolutely luscious, and those brilliant blue eyes as dark as the night sky, yet as light as a feather. The way he stood tall over me by at least 3 feet, the way he slouched slightly yet held his good posture, the way he smiled. His smile was greater than the flowers themselves; within it was the mysteries of the daisies, the beauty of the roses and the courage of the sun flowers. He was magnificent. And he literally had me at 'hello'. *** Yeah, the boy is based off a special someone on my #life, you just don't need to know who ~Maddie.

Stronger Hurting deep inside, Trying to hide the pain, Wishing that it would, All just go away. Waiting for the sun to go down, So I can hide my face, And leave in its shadow, The tears and disgrace. Will there ever be a day, When I can set things right? Or will it all come crashing down, With sorrow, pain and might? I wish I could just stand up, And show them that I care, Show them that it hurts me, And that it isn't fair. I continue to go through times like these, But I fail to see why. Is it to teach me to stay strong, Or to show me it's okay to cry? Why can't I stand up for myself, Or make my #life change? Why can't I be braver, Or stronger in some way? I wish I could just reveal, The feelings deep inside. But that would just cause more distraught, And show you that I've lied. Those days when I would used to say, "I have the greatest #life," Are ending with my childhood, I must be stronger to survive. I wish I could still act myself, And that I didn't have to hide, These feeling that I only just contain, Hidden deep inside. One day I hope I can show them, How much they affect my mind, But until I can be that strong, I'll try to be more kind.
