Skin Soft, delicate skin A smooth white canvas A freckle here and there The sunlight hits your back And illuminates all of the tiny hairs So beautiful My fingertips trace your spine Just a gentle touch I can feel your flesh, Your blood pumping through your veins It glides over your bones when you move To touch your skin Is like Touching and angels skin It is perfect Something so simple, Such as the meeting of the my skin and yours, Can be so intimate

Annie She is too happy to be this sad Too young to know her pain Too fragile to be this hurt But still, she remains I watch her as she hides it away, Puts on her fake smile She laughs and chats and jokes around, But I know this will only last a while I know what's going on at home I think it makes her stronger But all the hurt, the pain, the tears Can't go on much longer She's tried to take her #life a few times, Thankfully never succeeding But still she cuts her delicate wrists And covers up the bleeding I wouldn't know what to say to her So I just watch her from a distance, Give her a smile in the hall, Just so she knows I know of her existence.

Sick I'm sick of being scared of being sick. The constant worry of an anxious mind, 'Is it just a cold or is it something worse?' 'Is it just that I ate too much or is it that it was dodgy? I'm scared of being in class, in assembly Not in control. I'm scared of all the people that would crowed round Like they already had. I was feeling sick one day last spring, But I thought it was just cramps. Then I started to shiver and sweat And I almost blacked out. Everyone was panicking, Trying to get me to respond. All I wanted was some space, Not to be suffocated It happened to me again in the summer. This time I was alone. I knew how to cope with it; Just lay down, let it pass It was scary, Only my brother was there to help, And he didn't know what to do. I was on my own. I've been in both situations, With and without help, And I still can't decide Which is better. But when there's no one there, You feel helpless, Abandoned, You have to fend for yourself. Nothing I am not familiar with.

Fire There is a fire in my heart Burning Engulfing Devouring Melting me like wax. My mind becomes blank My body becomes limp You are all I can think of. This fire is making me Fall hopelessly in love With you.
