"...aren't you everything they don't want you to be, some kind of mirroe that every one keeps breaking."
This hits really hard
"it was june
-and i was stupid-
and it was june"
lmao i love them
lü na why did she say that ? was on purpose?
I believe she skipped the line "and I was stupid", then repeated the next line again. However, the mistake sounded really good.
wow someone finally puts words to what ive been feeling since i told my friends im straight edge.
"...can't shut up and act like she belongs here."
I've never felt more understood in my entire life.
I consider the true beauty of a poem is when it can make me feel, even if i can't relate
This is beautiful!!
"You will be this girl for years..."
Keep coming back to this poem as a recovering alcoholic. I'm only a few days sober and it's really hard. But I have work to do that I can't do when I'm intoxicated.
YESSSS FELLOW STRAIGHT EDGE GIRL

As a recovering alcoholic who's trying to stay sober right now, DO NOT STOP. Keep being straight edge. I used to be and I wish like hell I stayed that way.
I am currently working on a poem with the theme "Nurturing self esteem and responsibility among students".
"Sober girl" ... " That girl"... It's good to see your point of view on the same. thank you for posting. Keep on writing!
this is beautiful. I feel like less of a freak knowing there are more of us out there
It's so f'ed up that in our society, you're the odd one out of the bunch if you DON'T drink yourself to oblivion every weekend.
this is perfect!
relatable ❤
This was absolutely amazing ♥️
what's wrong with being straight edge? i have plenty of straight edge friends. we don't pressure them to drink. they don't pressure us not to. it's called mutual respect. it's sad she is treated like an outcast for her lifestyle.
So I'm 14 and turn 15 in 2 months, and no one understands why I don't want to drink or do drugs. Out of all my reasons for not drinking (such as "it's illegal" "I don't wanna be more vulnerable to guys who don't know what consent means") my friends tend to question one: I don't want to disappoint my parents. They say "they won't find out" or "they don't have to know" "I'm sure they did it when they were your age". I can lie to my parents about certain things, but I myself have absolutely no desire to drink so to do it when my closest friends, my family, and myself don't want me to... there's no point. I don't want to "just try it in case you like it" because I won't like how guilt feels. I never want to drink.
I wish I could be that girl. Unfortunately it may be too late for that. Props to any and everyone who has chosen a straight edge lifestyle. I envy you greatly.
VelKitty Its never too late
Yolanda Jerome Unfortunately once an addict, always an addict. It's just switched to a new focus. Whether it's drinking, drugs, food, working out, it doesn't matter. An addict is always addicted to something.
Respect ❤
I've never related to something so much
woah.
wow....
im not straight edge but i respect it man
Sorry im a little bit confused, is straightedge bad or something? I thought it must be so good for the world that somebody decided not to lose control over drinks or pills right?
how do you upload a button poetry video
Yea , but...... why?
