I Wont?

[Brittn]

You say I wont.

You say that I am scared,

of what they will say,

of what they will think.

You say my heart is racing,

you say my heart is jumping,

you say my stomach is turning,

that the butterflies are swarming.

 

You say that I am scared?

Do my blue eyes betray me?

Do my cheeks burn red,

like that fire that is raging inside me?

Do you hear my heart pounding,

like the roaring of waterfalls?

 

I crack a joke and show a smile.

Trying to hide whats really going on inside.

Trying to hold back the tears that want to pour,

from all of my inner war.

 

But you look on.

You look inside.

Your green eyes laugh at me,

mock me.

You can see that I am losing the war.

You can see the pain inside.

You know that right now all I want to do is hide,

maybe even die.

 

Fear turns into rage.

Into anger that I would show any weakness.

Weakness to you,of all people.

The lioness inside has awoken,

growling and daring you to keep looking.

 

My skin prickles from the new heat of my blood boiling,

racing in my body.

My small smile, turned into a twisted grin.

My eyes look back, eyebrows arched,

laughing back at you.

 

I wont back down.

I have a strength that you don't know,

the kind that I don't show.

The kind that I forget I have.

But I am a rebel child.

I am that shooting star in the sky.

The one that shine the brightest when its needed most.

I am the cloud in the day.

The kind that is taken for granted,

yet is always there.

 

I stare hard at you.

My blue eyes piercing into your green ones.

I say no...

I am not scared of them.

I am scared of what I tell myself I can't,

and somehow turns into I wont.

Why does it take forever for me to load this page....?

 

Anyway, not bad. Not really one or poetry, but still, not bad.
