poet-y and birds

The weight of my emotions lies heavily upon me like an elephant on a bird

My schoolwork is more social these days

My family is quite light I don't think to much more then fondly of them

I bought books to write in and then realized nothing is perfect to me

I weighed pumpkins on Halloween but the number only reminded me how big I am compared to them

I tell myself I'm okay when I sleep but there is a flood of lies under my pillow

I wish I could be weightless because then I could fly away from myself and my insecurities

Brackets on my teeth and in my smile remind of my world of imperfections

And that not everyone's documentary ends happily

Only the ones we see do

The colored over face on my snapchats reminds me that I don't love myself yet
