[[Chapter One: Joe's POV]]
I sat there on the floor with my brothers Kevin and Nick. We were swamped with letters. More like poems. We all agreed to do this contest where you had to submit a short poem and we'd each choose the number one poem we liked best out of the millions and thousands of others. We'd then go out on a date with them. "Hey! I like this one!" Nick said pulling out a small envelope. He read it aloud.
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
You're the best, i love you
I rolled my eyes picking up an envelope and skimming through it quickly. "Gee Nick, you really want to be with Marni that bad don't you?" I asked. He nodded. "Pick another one buddy" Kevin said. I picked up an envelope and began to read it.
Perfection Is A Lie
You can't erase what's already been
You can't erase what you've already seen.
Don't try to be who you're not,
Cos it's hard to feel your insides rot.
Change happens so fast,
Bad thing is you can never change that past.
Returning to happiness is filled with doubt,
So just open up, and let your emotions out.
"Hey! I think I found one!" I said excitedly. I read it out to my brothers. "Wow" Kevin said breathless. "That was short, yet so deep and emotional". I nodded. "But there's no name!" I said worried. I looked at the back and all over. No name. "Then we can't have that one" Nick said. "We need a name Joe" he added. "And besides, you haven't read any others yet" he said. I sat on the couch looking at the crumpled, tear stained poem in my hands. "I think Joe's in looove!" Nick teased laughing. I glared at him. "Am not. I'm dating Katie" I said. I got up. " I have a new idea for a song" I replied. Kevin cleared his throat. "Your idea for a song?" he repeated. I rolled my eyes playfully. "Okay.. reading this poem has just given me the greatest idea ever. With a little music and a bit more lyrics, I think I can make this better" I said. I ran upstairs to my room and closed the door.
I got out my blue scrapbook and began to write the poem down.
Perfection Is A Lie
Verse One:
You can't erase what's already been
You can't erase what you've already seen.
Don't try to be who you're not,
Cos it's hard to feel your insides rot.
Chorus:
Change happens so fast,
Bad thing is you can never change that past.
Returning to happiness is filled with doubt,
So just open up, and let your emotions out.
I added some stuff to it.
Verse Two:
When our smiles meet,
I know I am complete.
My heart soul is lost and no one can find the plea me,
Is that how you feel? Do you agree?
Chorus:
Change happens so fast,
Bad thing is you can never change that past.
Returning to happiness is filled with doubt,
So just open up, and let your emotions out.
Bridge:
Will you ever rescue me? I want to be me free.
You can try to break us apart, But we'll be strong just like from the start.
"I've done it!" I exclaimed. "I've created a song!". I wrote on the piece of paper in blue pen Lyrics by: Joe Jonas & unknown girl. Music by: The Jonas Brothers
I wanted more. I want more poems. Reading those words takes my breath away. I can relate to everything. What is she saying? Is she trying to tell me something? Why was she crying? I was now determined to find her. I was determined to find the girl that created and arranged those wonderful meaningful words.
