Handling Reality

Reliving painful moments every single day
Envying other's fortune
Always wanting the love of another
Loving people who will never care
Inviting things into your life that you can't handle
Trying to forgive while dealing with more pain
Yearning for the perfect life that no one will ever have

Passing Name

My love is everlasting,
Expanding everyday,
With every passing second,
There's more than I can say.

You are always with me,
Inside my heart and head,
And all that I can think of,
Are things that you have said.

You are my one and only,
I hope you feel the same,
I always want to be with you,
To share the same last name.

Rain

rain falls from the sky
endless lonely nights go by
the darkness from the heavens above
mirrors a life missing true love
slivers of moonlight shine on a girl
who's praying to find her place in this world
beautiful stars sparkling bright
reflect on a girl whose almost lost sight
for not long from now the moon may be whole
a wonderful man may find his way to her soul
until that day comes she'll just soak in the rain
because feeling it fall takes away all her pain

Make Me Believe

Tell me you love me
I won't believe
It will make me happy
I won't believe

Hold me tight
I won't believe
Be soft and sweet
I won't believe

Promise me you'll care
I won't believe
I need to hear it
I won't believe

Say you'll be there for me
I won't believe
Be sweet as you can
I won't believe

If you knew how to be there
I would believe
If you kept a promise
I would believe

If you wanted to hold me
I would believe
If you showed your love to me 
I would believe

Child's shining star
Helping to fulfill dreams 
Never ending love in your heart

enduring the agony
constant state of angst

Awake

I've tried to count sheep,
but my eyes refuse to close,
I really need sleep!

Jerk

I'm glad to be sad,
instead of mad at a cad
who's brain cells won't add

Peacefulness

Today, tomorrow              
(Let my heart find peace at last)
      Please no more sorrow!

Why Me, Cruel World, Why Me?

Cruel, cruel world,
Why me?
I never hurt you,
Why must you hurt me?

When does it stop?
That tearing pain inside me.
Will it ever leave?
It's slowly driving me crazy.

This life will end,
But why must I wait?
Let me go now,
I want it to end!

Don't hold me here,
In pain that's so deep.
Take me away,
To a better place.

I want out,
I never wanted this.
Why should I live?
I don't want to be here!

You tear me apart,
You say to be strong.
I'm crackling and crumbling,
As I scream out in rage;

        WHY ME?
