Why do we have to have hormones?
They're so stupid and really are dumb
How can I tell you what I'm feeling
When I don't even know what myself?
Why can't we do away with them?
-----
You ask how I feel about you
I don't know, please tell me
Do I really love you?
Or is just the idea that I love
Why can't I figure this out?
-----
When I am around you
I feel flustered and happy inside
My gut twists around in a constant fight
And my mind just won't stay in line
I try to remain calm on the outside
-----
When I am away from you
My thoughts just won't come with me
They stay with you for a while
This is really conflicting
You have dominated my mind
-----
I really like you, I know that much
You like me back, I know that too
But how do you feel towards me?
What do I make you feel?
And is it real for you?
-----
You love to cuddle
you're fun to be around
You love to make me laugh
You have no boundries
yet you honor all the ones I've found
-----
You say I am sweet
You like that I am kind
You love how much I help people
You smile at my happines
And you think my laugh is cute
-----
You are attractive physically too
With your dark hair you say you cut too short
Your big brown eyes that always have laughter in them
Your dimples that pop out when you find things amusing
Your adorable smile is my favorite part
-----
I know you as two different people
The boisterous and bubbley guy
Who loves a good joke
Who has so much positive energy
And tickles me to bring out my smile
-----
I also know you as another person though
The intense and interested one
Who makes sure I don't do stupid things
Who gives me hugs when you don't know what to say
And who hates to see me sad
-----
You also know me as two people
The goofy and grinning chick
Who always has a sassy remark
Who cannot stop making jokes to save her life
And always tries her best to keep people up
-----
You also know me as a totally different person
As the somber and solemn girl
Who is completely serious when she looks at you
Who speaks quietly and with meaning
Who shows you her soul in words
-----
You like me for those things
But what would you do if you met the third me?
The one that is emotionally train-wrecked
Who breaks the tension of her skin with blades
Who cries in the dark so no one will see her
-----
Would you still like me?
Would you see the good me's
you would you only see the dark side of me
I want to trust you would still care
But what if you don't?
-----
If you left, you wouldn't be the only one!
The first? My best friend, who backstabbed me and made excuses
She didn't care, it didn't affect her
The second: the guy who had been my advisor of sorts
He helped me set my life on a straighter path, but he left without a goodbye
-----
You would be one of my close friends
who left me for whatever reason
Am I just that lacking?
Are people just really that uncaring
Or was it something else
-----
Inside; there is a swirling vortex
In my concious; there is a raging storm
In my mind; there is a choice to be made
In my body; there is such turmoil I don't know what to feel
And in my heart? There is only confusion and doubt.
-----
And I've collected all these thoughts
And I'm dying just to lose them
And if your words are true or not
I'll die trying to prove them
But I'll just have to accept
That my mind is so inept
And the only thing that's left
For me to do is to trust you

AutoPilot what the heck?!?!?! Why do you have to write something so.....
time for an actual review. The first two stanzas, I was like, ehh okay sounds like a typical teenage girl. It didn't quite hook me, but I decided to keep going. After all, I can soooooo relate to a teenage girl ... I am unfortunately but fortunately one 
Thanks for sharing! By the way I have nothing negative to say
AMAZING AND EPIC AND OH MY GOSH I SWEAR THIS IS SERIOUSY ME IRL OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH MY BOYFRIEND HAS ALL THOSE POSITIVE TRAITS AND SERIOUSLY YOU DESCRIBED ME IN THERE.... VOODOO, I SAY! VOODOO!
Okay! Now that I have my humor and jealously out of the way,
The emotions and simple use of vocabulary were well fluctuated with the flow of your work, but this jumped out at me:
You like me for those things
But what would you do if you met the third me?
The one that is emotionally train-wrecked
Who breaks the tension of her skin with blades
Who cries in the dark so no one will see her
OH MY GOSH AGAIN THIS IS ME I'VE DONE THIS AND FELT TRAIN-WRECKED WHY DO YOU HAVE TO WRITE SUCH A WORK THAT MAKES ME JEALOUS????
I'm currently telling myself to stop laughing.. and I'm not listening!

Thanks for the review, I love writing things that people find so little negetivity in. I'm glad you like it and can relate. I feel like life is like that in general, and people all over can connect through it.
Again, I am glad you like it!
*composes face* -_-
fail...
I agree so much!
Haha, jk, I'm just a normal teen no craziness here
XD
I love this poem, I can relate to it way too much ahaha! The words flow beautifully! The way you used phrases like "My guts twisted around in a constant fight," was an awesome way to describe how you were feeling, sort of like the cliche line "Butterflies in my stomach" but twisted around a bit which made it original.

I really like the ending where you described how you were feeling about it all - but in different ways. "Inside; there is a swirling vortex, in my conscious; there is a raging storm," etc. Throughout the poem you seem to describe the different feelings you experience, which is good as it sort of fits the image of 'crazy hormones' which you wrote about at the start.
Awesome!
Thanks for the review!
I love all the pro's you've pointed out. Now I'll just edit in a couple of things and presto chango! it will be beautiful...
You stuck to a clear message and even managed to stick a tone shift in at "You like me for those things," which is often admired when studying poetry. However, I would work on improving your vocabulary some. It comes with experience, but practicing always helps. Some parts of the poem seemed forced to stick with poetic devices. Such as, "Your adorable smile, it's my favorite part" is in backwards sentence structure and doesn't really need to be, unless you're trying for Yoda. I like that you had an anaphora going on with "your, your, your," but perhaps rearranging the phrase to "your adorable smile is my favorite part" would work just as well and make more sense.
You're off to a good start and I hope things get better for you if what you said about cutting is true. Things may look rough now, but there is always hope for the future. If you ever need anyone to talk to, I have an open ear.
Thanks for the review!
it just sounded right in my head, and when I read it out loud. I do see what you mean though, I will mess around with that. And it's good knowing I'm not alone..

I wasn't trying for Yoda
Thanks again!
Hey I'm Caitie.
First off I so relate to this, I don't understand why we need hormones. They just make life more confusing. You think you might like someone and you feel butterflies in your stomach and your heart aches when you see him smile. I love how you talk about that if you show the other sides to you how would they really feel. Sometimes we are too scared to let people see the more emotional and darker side(i guess?) of people. Again I just love this poem and I hope i get to read more of this kind of stuff because it is awesome.
I knew I'm not alone...

I understand the phrase "Butterfli is your stomache" at this point in my life... Stupid butteflies
*"Butterflies in your stomache"
You did a great job but I am going to give a few suggestions
1."Why can't we do away with them" Try putting a question mark at the end of this sentence. This is only because the rest of the poem has proper punctuation.
2.You put words that expresses feeling and that is good. What if you Balance that though with words that create a picture, For example:
"Inside; there is a swirling vortex
When On the outside; I still look clean and proper" It shows how that person feels and how they look on the outside.
Other than that I have nothing else to say. You did a very good job so keep up the great work!
Thanks for the review!
There was suppsoed to be a ? there...
