Can i be your Juliet?

Can i be your juliet?

Those were her first words
as she sighed upon his blue eyes..
she filled her lungs with the summer daisy breeze
she felt like a wingless butterfly

I must be dreaming... She thought as he touched her hand with the slightest stutter
His hands were as light as almost nothing
and she had never been this happy before.

Can i be your Juliet?
She stuttered in her mind
almost as unconcious as the first time
she was trying to sit still without looking clumsy

She kept thinking "Perfect" thoughts
I must be "Perfect" or he shall never deserve me..
This time.. I will be the Juliet in my ever-after..

She was still silent as could be
as thoughts of "Perfectness" ran through her mind
be perfect
act perfect
think perfect

I am "Perfect"
But that wasn't enough...
He saw her brown eyes..
He saw her Two-Toned Hair
He saw the Past on her face..
He saw the Hurt in Her Eyes
When he left her..

She was no longer perfect..
But only Perfect in that MeSsEd up Sortt of WaY.

Perfect...YOU are a "Prize" that no one deserves to hold....YOU are a "Prize" a few will understand but many will desire to obtain. YOU are Perfectly Imperfect as stated...and very much a "Prize" to behold.

Very well written for such a young girl. Impressive. I agree with Rebel about the caps though.

You're a very promising writer, being 14 and all...you have a natural talent for expressing your feelings and writing in a lyrical and solemn sort of way...i like the rhythm and the feel...although the poem could've worked without the sticky caps in the end...cool write though...welcome to DP

Always be true to yourself Beth, Never ever try to become of conform for any one missy! You are perfectly imperfect just as you are and I love you all the more for your individuality and your fearlessness...what is it that you always say? The ones that mind dont matter and the ones that matter dont mind!!!
