Life can be good,Life can be bad,Sometimes I wonder what I could have hadif I didn’t make all these mistakesWith the chances right in front of me to take,Then maybe my life would be just great.I try to fix my past,but my problems just seem to last,No matter what I do, or what I say,my […]

Sometimes I sit back and wonder,why I feel this way.Like I’m so different from the others,as different as night and day.When you think about it,almost everyone gets to be loved.But there are those like me,who really should quit.There are some,who never get to love.Everyone else experiences the feelings,that I only dream of.Alas, I am one […]

There is a river running smoothlyAnd it runs smoothly ‘round the bendThere is a message in the bottleAnd it is to you I wish to sendThe river may be running smoothBut it will easily grow boredFaster will the river goBut I don’t worry; be assuredI will tell you what the message saidWhat the world deserved […]

I know you’re just joking around,I know you’ll still say hi tomorrow,I know it means nothing,But it hurts.I know you’re whispering behind my back,I know to you these words mean nothing,I know you still like me,But it hurts.You see the tears streaming down,You see me withdraw from the crowd,You see me try to change the […]

I am independent and intelligent,I wonder if people understand.I hear the chorus of angels.I see them above me,I want to be known,I am independent and intelligent.I pretend that the spirits guide me.I feel the warmth wash over me.I touch the light of understanding.I worry for my friend who does not know herselfI cry for her.I […]

The bright lantern glowing in the field of blueThe carpet of green grass beneath my feetThe smell of hot dogs in the airThe taste of crisp clean airIt’s a spring dayThe refreshing cool rainThe mess of mud on my shoesIt’s a spring dayThe grass stains on my kneesThe dirt on my faceThe shades on my […]

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM.Hush please.For there is fire up ahead.Soon you will all be deader than a head.As they walked there shadowyBarefeet crept along theancient path of death.As the sunder was drippingApple cores fell from theceiling. Bless the Lord!I said as there wasfire in my breath.And heat in my hair which wasrising from the […]
