I'm tired of being behind... <br />its seems as though i am all of the time <br />Its too hard to keep up <br />every time i turn around i get stuck <br />Every ones problems become my own <br />I want to save the world but alone <br />I want to love but i'm too afraid <br />i cant help but feel betrayed <br />To put my heart in the open <br />and let you play with it until its broken <br />is a dangerous game i cant play <br />so why do I live each day <br />what the hell is beauty when it comes to life <br />i would give it away to you if it would make u smile <br />I would trade my eyes, my lips, my nose, my fingertips <br />for the happiness that runs from me <br />what the hell is beauty <br />when your behind <br />and your goal in life is a lonley one <br />what the hell is beauty <br />when everyone else takes your time <br />and you cant change the things that have already been done <br />what the hell is beauty <br />but superficial luck <br />all i want is to become unstuck <br />I would cast this beauty away <br />just for my happiness that runs away <br />so i can live each new day <br />and maybe open my heart to love along the way.<br /><br />Nicole Jaimie Carothers<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/expressions-of-a-teenager/
