My Life as a Drama Queen

by Olivia H. Out of nowhere thus arrived. No prospect nor expected, Broke walls I’d erected. Such a titan manifested, Blazed by its sight. No fear nor consolement, As it gazed upon me. Digged down, with care. Sweet surrender, be fair, No other can compare. Words fall flat, Contradictions arise. Broken, yet beautiful. Familar, yet mysterious.  Witty, yet delirious. So you found me,  What comes next? A lover, or a friend.

by Olivia H. Through pages I forget Distraction comes by I can't hold my mind Former shelter,  now a challenge. I read to get lost I read to escape Or to find myself. My drive then decreased,  My passion flickered. A mear nostalgic memory. Books were my  home, A safe place to go. Each a world to explore, Full of words, all enchanting, Made me radiant, Make me smarter. My company, What happened? I cannot understand. Those pages, Full of magic and fun, Turn blank in my mind. My love for you won’t die Through best and worst, You guarded my former self. I'll find you again. It won't be our end. You'll come again.

by Olivia H. I wish to be brave I wish to be wise I wish to be someone Cracked up with life I wish to be fair I wish to be me I wish to love me For all I have been I wish to succeed I wish to believe I want to live That’s all I need I want to trust  I wish to be loved Or simply admired Why? I don’t know I wish I was good Or mearly enough Or the best one of all But hell, I cannot I want to try hard Sometimes I do Just to find out It’s hard to get through I wish to be smart I wish to understand I wish to be fast, witty and bright But most of all More than you’ll know I wish to be happy That’s all I know
