The dragon was fought silently
In a journal every so quietly
When no one was there to lend a hand
I kept fighting and pushing for dry land
In the ocean of blackness and tears
I thought I would sink and disappear
To the rescue came a simple pen
And paper pages to write therein.  

The dragon lies defeated
The ocean, a few rain drops
The pages of a journal completed
I now can share my thoughts.

Stop, Stranger, & Stupid Boy

Stop the insanity
Lets make peace
Stop blaming
Lets understand
Stop building walls
Lets make a home

I was at a point where I was done fighting.  I didn't want to be angry anymore.  I wanted to find a resolution.  The only problem with that was, he didn't. 
......................................................
I want him to say I'm pretty 
Not a stranger
I want him to stare at me with love in his eyes
Not a stranger
I want him to want me
Not a stranger
A stranger I have

 To make it simple, he didn't look at me with love in his eyes.  He didn't tell me I was pretty.  He didn't want me.  I had other people (strangers) telling me I was pretty or guys staring at me when I waked by.  When I say 'A Stranger I have', it means two things: 1. He was not in love with me anymore, so he became a stranger.  2. The people who did tell me theses things were strangers. 
...........................................................
The harder I try, the more helpless he thinks I am
Stupid boy
The bigger the smile I fake, the more he thinks he's fooled me
Stupid boy
The more I listen to his feelings, the better he feels
Stupid boy
The more I suppress my feelings, the better it is for him
Stupid girl

I was starting to realize the verbal abuse cycle he was spinning.  When I say stupid girl at the end, it relates to the whole poem. If you look back at the poem you'll see the girl is the only one doing anything  and making an effort.  While the boy sits back and enjoys it.   But the girl wasn't stupid like the boy thought.  I had figured it out.  He didn't have control like he thought.  Which is why I say, stupid boy.
