Two Pieces

Sometimes, things are best when they are separate. I believe this poem is one of them. I'm trying to post once a day ... Been doing alright so far :D

TO THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING THIS: Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read the deranged rantings of an almost not-teenage girl! It's appreciated to know that so many of you support my writing. This blog has been so healing for me over the past little while, and I just want to stop and make sure I'm acknowledging everyone who supports it, and how much it means!

You've been removed
To be replaced with only empty space
I'm mature enough
To know that sometimes that's what it takes

I deserve more
Than always doubting who I am with you
This is my fate
I'm strong enough to make it through

-----

I am uncertain
I am shaken
I am lost
I am hurt

But I laugh
I smile
I live my life
I move on

Perhaps for now it is a mask
Painting on this beauty
To disguise the flaws within

I will not let the past hold me down
I will rise above this
I will grow
