*~Perfect?

Painted up face,/skirt cut high,/mechanical laugh,/hand on his thigh./All alone/in a crowded room./She's got him/singing her tune./The perfect example,/desired by all/this coveted trait/will be her downfall./She doesn't know/what lies ahead/she could end up pregnant/or even worse, dead./She still continues/to coo in his ear/oblivious to all/no regret and no fear.

How I Used To Be

From the way I was/ I've changed completely/ I don't sing as well/ or speak discreetly./ I have a whole new outlook/ on the world/ And with that I've become/ a different girl./ I'll tell you what I want/ not just sit and sigh/ And my confidence has grown/ to reach sky high./ Hate me or love me/ I really don't care/ Don't wanna be near me?/ You don't have to stand there./ Eager to please/ naive was I/ I hesitated even/ to pass you by./ Don't ever become/ the way I used to be/ live for the moment/ You'll see what I mean./ I'm so much happier/ than I was before/ Especially with him.../ He's what I've been looking for.

An Attempt to Free Verse

*~ I'm trying free verse... It's very far out of my comfort zone so you'll have to tell me what you think okay?~*
What is it that makes you
who you are to me?
I just can't put a finger on it.
The way you smile perhaps?
The way you call me beautiful.
Or perhaps it's the mere
electricity
I feel when your fingers
touch mine
When you're not close by,
my heart is tugging at its chords
racing to get to you
Why is it that you are all
I think about?
This can't just be infatuation
The insane feeling coming from inside
that everything has fallen into
place,
Can't just be because
I've hit puberty
Are my ideas unfounded?
Am I being naive?
One look in your eyes says I'm not.
