haha oh for the love of it all

damn, those songs all make sense now,
ooh, Iused to make fun of their thoughts and expression,
jeez,i'm a corny one now too.

the change of mind that is so dramatic,
so giddy and unsure all at the same time.
Its alive for 60 seconds and crimson red.
Your teeth shine so brightly and your smile pops without your sweet consent.

How much we crave it, and how much we resent it, ooooh i love it,
For all it ever was.

Voice

Voice is an extremely powerful thing.
But only if you have control over it.
If you don't have control it could just as easily give the wrong message.

I think it is important to know when things need to be said and how to say them.
I think that alot of my life i didn't really say anything to people who were hurting me or making me feel bad. And i know that it is just because it's hard for me to get angry or fight with anyone.
But i feel like in my teen years i have learned how to use my voice, many things have contributed to this knowledge of voice.
My mom kept her identity quiet for the first 31 years of her life, and her strength in saying what was true for her made an impression on me i think. I admire her for it and i started to think of what i really thought and what i should be saying.
And i began to speak,
I told my dad and stepmom that my life was lonely and hurt when i was with them, I told them that i would rather be with my friends and other family besides them, i spoke my truth without feeling like i shouldn't be comlaining.
I think using your voice and expressing your thoughts is a type of self-help.
Because we all have a voice, and sometimes its an angry one.
sometimes its a quiet breath, and sometimes its a passionate tone, but no matter what it is it should be set free and allowed to say what it deep down wants to, without judgement of any other voices.

I am.....Senses

I smell
sweaty boys that i've learned to love.
I smell downtown corners that i know can't be good for me.
I smell massive amounts of smoke on a daily basis.

I smell my bestfriends house. Its the smell of
rotting clothes, cinammon lotion and the cleanest,
softest, most comforting carpet you will ever lie your
head upon.

I smell wilderness quite rarely. But when i do smell it
I sink myself into it until I am at a loss of any thought
that isn't a song.

I smell camping and I am suddenly overwhelmed with a
feeling of happiness. It's the campfire, singed on all of our clothing
and the crappy coffee we tried to make.

Ithink if you were to smell me I would smell like a mixture of this sweet world.
But if you were to try to smell me specifically I'd be a bland combo of grass, hugs and dirty hippies.

Barbie Beauty Head

Dear Beauty Head,
I'm so sorry that someone named you Beauty Head. I'm so sorry for how you have been portrayed. I can't imagine you are as happy as you peach shaded smile and wide, sparkled lashes are leading on. You must have massive amounts of frustration and possibly depression. Your emotions are concealed. They are tucked deep within your plastic membrane, and I'm writing you to tell you that i cant feel them.
I feel your pulsating rage and oppression that youwill never be able to express. I feel your overwhelming urge to shave your head and scrub off your touched face and eventually collapse in place with no audience to gawk.
Your hands are tired of posing so feminine-like and your cleavage is tired of being stared at. Your virgin skin is busting atthe seems, asking for some blemish, some toxin to let it identify as human.
You're disgusted with your permanent lavender eyeshadow and your plastic elastic jewelry that is supposed to make young girls happy.
I believe you were once perfect for this BeautyHead. I believe you thought it was a marvelous idea to be a symbol of beauty. But you have grown Barbie Head, and matured and you're ready to be freed.

With Great Understanding,
-Hannah

Biology Movie Writing

They say shes made up of strong light dependable bones, they say she is alive!
They say her bones are being made and he old bones are being destroyed.
Shes growing up and growing tall, she's gently gliding into her fertile years. She approches her 400 chances to make a baby wth fear.
She just discovered her almond shaped organs that have alll of a sudden made themselves noticable. She wonders about her biological inheritance and when she will have a mature egg. She gapes at the idea of creating a blueprint for a new human being. She vows to never participate. She values her support structures but could do without the "culprit" her body has become.

YOU ARE HERE

Location: Both Left and Right ears
Cause: Born with both left and right, average, typical ears. Years pass by and holes appear. First puncture excitement, and the 8th pinch is a sinch.
Diagnosis: The teenage girl hope to be somehow special with a overwhelming side of adrenaline.
Treatment: Seemed to be a new hole everytime i got rather antsy.
Follow-up: Numerous looks from older, conserative faces and hundreds and hundreds of amazing ear decorations that i substitute in and out as i please.

Location: Nose
Cause: Mom will say it definitely came from my dad's side, and Dad will argue that its identical to my Mothers. Neither will fess up.
Diagnosis: Large, protruding hunk of nose centered on my face.
Treatment: hmm (A little too oldfashioned for a nosejob...) ahh yes, the sweet compliment of my best friend saying it fits my round face perfectly and she wouldnt have it any other way.
Follow-Up: Boost of self esteem and my first quality powder foundation.

Location: Hair of my head
Cause: I'm assuming someone along my bloodline was a Native American and i honor them for passing on the dark haired gene in this white world of fair people. I thank them for granting me the right to make blonde jokes without becoming some sort of a hypocrit.
Diagnosis: Large, thick, unpredictable locks of brown over processed hair, shoulder length and full of memory.
Treatment: a shampooing with an excessive amount of conditioner to ease my job when detangling in the 10 minutes before first period Geometry.
Follow-Up: A braid here and a pony tail there, but mostly down and a poof. Fellow dark haired love of mine says to me "Look at this hair!" and reminds me of my appreciation of have what i have been given.
