Dear best friend, where are you? Are you hiding in a cloud  somewhere in the blue? What does heaven  have you up to? Is it glistening in gold like we think it may? Do you feel safe in the soft belly of it's underlay? there's so many years I  wished to have not gone through the beaches are still  creating more sand and the mountains continuously  grow and seep onto the land What do I do now with this body and it's useless feeling of living when I'm without you I feel so alone, it's scary to walk through best friend, please tell me it's just a bad dream please tell me that this isn't the end to everything please tell me this isn't goodbye please tell me that one day, I will wake up by your side - Leah Rae

don't tell me you forgot about them I know you'd be telling me lies life as we know is short enough and it's up to you to cut ties all I want is to be the first true love not to be taken advantage of I don't want to be the replacement apart of the plan you wished for with someone else I want to be loved authentically, not the one that's collecting dust on your shelf I felt copy and pasted I have no time to be wasted and at this time in my life I finally feel unbroken that these are just wounds that will eventually heal but don't trap me in a box I have enough of myself I've lost now I get to find out who I am again I'm so sick of being afraid in this body there's so much to do and so many new hobbies I made friends and felt fulfilled on my own and the best part is I finally feel like my mind is my own home - Leah Rae

 sometimes I think about the peonies and  wonder why some people would hate them they're bright, pink, and smell good, but some people are just allergic they can't value them simply because they can't breathe around them maybe I am the peony and maybe some people  are just allergic  to me,  but some people won't be and they will think I am beautiful and they would love to put me in  a vase on their kitchen table and watch me bloom  everyday - Leah Rae
