Aimee Rozen Poems

I hold on to these memories of you
even though you're happier with her.
I toss and turn at night
as you invade my dreams.
...

I'm living in a fairytale.
I believe my life too
will have a happy ending.
Disney has implanted its basis of

fight back the tears
that long to fall

Look at me now:
do you see what I've become?
You wanted to see you looking back
when you look into my eyes:

when I should have learned
that it's okay to be me.
