FALSE ALARM
Turn around with hushed tones, gasp as I snap in two.
It's a false alarm, once again, and all thanks to you.
Scenes from a movie, the director's cut is playing,
Black and white, no one knows what you're saying.
Lip read as a source for some future reference,
Trapping you now is what my next defense is.
Claustrophobic but unaided 'cause you're clearing away,
This letter from my heart is still begging you to stay.
Mutter in disbelief, I'm in debt without a cause,
I refuse to back down so please hold the applause.
Held on trial as if I'm wasted from your deceit,
Turn my back for a second to hear your screams.
Washed up like I was sent out to sea,
Waiting for support, and this is my plea.
Two steps back and I'm being eaten by your words,
Sweet and sour phrases that just never will work.
So I'm aiming for it like there's no roadblacks at all,
Stand back, let me live and watch me free-fall.
NOTE: I'm only 14. I want to be a writer. Please don't be harsh.

Here's another...like or no? And compare the two if you want.
Vain Like Me
You're under the dictionary definition of vain,
Think that each low blow is directed your way.
And now I'm equipped with audacity to break you down,
You see that I've been where you are, three times around?
Learn the tricks of the trade; we're two of a kind.
No need to thank me now, the pleasure's all mine.
You think you know me, so take a stab at my name,
Here are some couple one-liners, on sale for claim.
The back lash is wicked, from the onlookers outside.
I now vanish as the person in who you could confide.
So tame the beast, for she's set on replicating the past.
But never has someone faltered like the way you did last.
Call me every name in the book, I just can't confess.
Suddenly old feelings for you have been put to rest.
Replaced with the twinge of remembrance...
[Of what we shared once before]
Our fire, my dear, takes on a likeness as glass..
[Left shattered on the floor]
