Bully
Dear Bully,
You are the voice we hear when we're all alone
and crying our selfto sleep
the ringing in our ears
every time we look at our selfs in the mirror
the arms on the clock stopping yourself in time so you can look at us a little bit longer
but your are killing us from the outside in
you are every
mood swing
sleepless nights
eyes closed so we dont have to look at our selfs
you my friend are the raver we held to our skin
you are the reason we have scars
now you are wanting us the take an eraser to our body
the eraser the mistake you made us do
but this cant be undone
our scars had found their way into our bodies to make up for empty space
you cry over spelt milk
we cry spelt blood
ozing pain out our arms
to stop the voices in our heads
you are every
suicide note
bloody bed sheets hanging rope
and empty pill bottles
but the sad part of it all is that the voices we hear is just society calling our name
this world is its play ground
and we're just here for its entertainment

Its not OKAY
How stupid we must be thinking its okay to walk alone
a few drinks whats the herm
girls night out sounds fun
wear a dress because whats it going to hurt to make yourself feel beautiful
pay no mind to the guy wissing from across the road
nor the guy buying you a drink
but one drink leads to five
and your waiting to cross the street
pigs wearing misks that look like men
looking at you like your something up for grabs
and your at a party
dancing ends up being hey baby let me see you shake that ass
his cold hands are slowly making their way up your skirt
acting like his unwrapping a present
he doesnt care how pretty the paper is
he just wants to see whats unerneath
but no matter how dirty you feel
no matter what people say
"well did you see what she was wearing"
"she was drinking she doesnt remember"
oh and heres my favorite one
" she was asking for it"
right the same way guys ask to get hit in the balls
and how people want more bills then money
and how people ask to get cancer
we're the victims here
when you get the chance
pick up a dictinure
look up the word no
last time i checked no meant no
not maybe
and shure in hell not yes
"stop dont"
isnt her way of asking you to keep going
its her way of crying for help
"real men dont rap"
FINALLY some thing we both agree on
your not a man your a cowear
you fill the need to play and hurt another human
our worth pride and beauty was taken with out our permition
he doesnt think twice before leaving us in pieces
like broken glass some where in an ally way
Now, Now some may say I'm over reacting
but a WOMAN is like FUCKING CINDERELLA
and you best believe you need her concent before entering her castle
now I'm not one to judge
No thats the grand juries line of business
but at the end of the day he'll get a slap on the wrist
he wont get convicted
because a suspected is always inessent
unless proven gilty

Blurred Beauty
Blurred beauty is what this world is made of.
Masked faces and broken hearts.
Everything seems so beautiful but we’re blinded by lies and false hope.
Fake dreams,
disappearing light.
Light that makes everything so wonderful is just gone.
Vanishing faster each day
Mixed signals are all over this world.
Showing the wrong way to everything.
Like society is wanting us to fall.
Trip over our own feet making it seem like we’re at blame.
Eyes wide open,
seeing so little.
Blame anything you can so you don’t have to face what’s really at fault.
Blank mirrors.
No reflection,
just broken glass.
Hateful worlds shout out the truth.
Yelling what people want to hear but are just too afraid to ask.
This world is a small circle in society’s hand.
One move and everything can change.
Society is bouncing us like a ball, playing us like puppets,
just waiting to see what they can make us do next.
- Madeline McMurtry
Dear Madeline
One, I want to see you fall to your knees
cry for hours, waste all your tears so you have no more emotions
Two, paint your face with makeup,
wake up every morning and tell your self your not good enough
Three, listen to every bad thing people have to say about you, its all true
Four, when you close your yes i want you to think of all of your floss,
Five, don't bother dressing up no one is ever going to think of you differently,
you are always going to be that ugly, weird girl
I am that little voice in your head
society
That funny thing we call life
You don't have to listen to me
I'm not real
But you still choose to listen
And thats good for me cause that means I'm doing my job right
You have the choose
There are two directions
Turn the ether way
You have the choose to make your life
To tell every one who has anything bad to say about you to go F*ck off !!!
This is your life
your dreams
This is you
Jump in
The grass is greener on the other side.
Take that step to the great unknown.
Don’t be after of something you don’t know.
Flout with the air and be free.
Crossing that bridge doesn’t mean you will lose who you are, it just means you’ll be something greater.
-Madeline McMurtry
Dad
You were the first man in my life, my first love. You will be the only man I will love my whole life. Any man can be a father but it takes a special man to be a dad. You are the one that is always there for me. The one I go to when I’m sad. You hug me tight, kiss my forehead and make things all better. You brush me off when I fall. Held my hand when I was scared. Make me laugh when I cry. Make me feel better when I’m sick. You gave me life, nurtured me, taught me, dressed me, fought for me, held me, shouted at me, kissed me, but most importantly, loved me unconditionally. You’ve done everything in your power to make my life amazing and you’ve done exactly that. I couldn’t have asked for a better dad. You have given me the greatest gift a dad could give a daughter. You’ve given me love. You care for me and believe in me. No matter how much of a pain I am, you still put up with me. I am so thankful for everything you have given and done for me. I may have grown too big to sit on your lap but, I’ll never be too big to love you. No matter how old, no matter how tall I am I will always look up to you. You are not just my dad you’re my best friend, my hero. From my first word, to my first steps. From the first day of school, to my first sleep over. Getting me makeup, to clothes shopping. High
school, to prom. And everything in between. You have been there. Helping me through boy troubles and school drama. There are not enough words I can say to describe just how important you are to me, and a powerful influence you continue to be. You helped me find the light in the dark.
I may not be a baby any more but I’ll always be your little girl
-Madeline McMurtry
Two Sides
A warmful hug, a welcoming smile.
That’s the side everyone sees.
Fun, loving, and free.
But you see there are two sides.
The bubbly, outgoing girl is actually scared of her own shadow.
You see she’s masked herself. Hiding her self. I am so much more than that.
I am a force to be messed with.
I am a firecracker.
Moody and unsure.
I once knew myself but I lost the war.
The war between good and bad.
I am not that sweet girl anymore.

POETRY LINES
"you are mentally trying to perilize me
weaken my knees
heavy my arms
break every virdebria in my spin
because i don't fit in to your thought of normal"
"this world is your play ground and I'm just have for your intertanment"
"I'm a flower and each body part are my flower peddles"
"Many a time a mans mouth brakes his nose"
" talking about others is a hobby for some but a job for others"
"Each breathe you take some ones name spills between the cracks of your lips,
and every inhale you regret the last breathe you took"
"Wishing you can take it back"
" Your innocents leaves the moment your first word makes its way through you teething gums"
