Yearning For

My heart yearns for love
My body yearns for someone to hold
My soul yearns for peace
Tell me what you yearn for

Words Do Hurt

Many people tend to think 
“Stick and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me” 
But let me tell you the truth about that 
Words are the one thing 
That can drive a sane man insane 
The hurt you get by those sticks and stones 
Will heal faster than the hurt you get 
From those words 
Some people don’t realize that 
They continue on everyday 
Breaking someone down 
Whether they know it or not 
Truthfully they should know it 
If the person isn’t smiling or laughing 
Words are so powerful
So strong 
So deadly 
But still no one seems to take notice 
Many teens are taken down everyday 
By their peers 
But their peers either don’t seem to care 
Or don’t seem to notice 
Most just don’t seem to care 
Because I have seen so many people in school 
Constantly bring people down everyday 
And not give a damn about it 
I think that we need to do something about this 
Because words are so deadly 
Many teens have killed their selves 
Or have attempted to 
Only because of the pain and torment 
They went through either at home or at school 
And it’s mostly at school 
And we need to open our eyes to this 
Not just blow it off to the side 
Because sooner or later 
Another teen is going to become apart of the statistic 
Of killing their selves 
Because of what people said to them 
BEWARE

Life At the Beginning

A new life has begun
With the birth of my child
A new life has begun
With the renewal of my relationship 
A new life has begun
With joining the navy
A new life has begun
With me beginning to see me

Saying Goodbye- Maybe For a Second

I never thought that 
I would be saying goodbye to you
But I’m tired of not being loved
I’m tired of my feelings not meaning anything
I need a man who’s going to care for me
I need a man who’s going to love me for me
I need a man who’s not going to just have sex with me
I loved you and to be honest I still do 
But do you love me is the question
If you love me…
And not second guessing your love for me 
Then maybe we can work something out 
I would love that 
Let me know if you love me
I don’t want to say goodbye forever

Starting From the Beginning

There was a point in my life
When I thought that we were not
Going to work it out
But look at us now…
We are back together 
Starting a new life
Starting a new relationship
Just starting over
I’m happy that you are trusting me again
I’m happy to be in your life
You have no need to worry
Because I promise to never hurt you again
I promise to be your one and only
Forever and ever

If Love...

If love is so painful
Why do we keep looking for it
If love is so wonderful
Then why does it keep on hurting us
If love is so real
Then why does it seem unreal to me

I Refuse

I thought that maybe 
We could work things out
But I refuse to be let down
It always seems as if my feelings don’t matter
This can’t be ignored anymore
I never thought that I would be letting you go
But I refuse to let you hurt me anymore
I am tired of the make ups and break ups
It would be so much easier if you really loved me
I know there were times when we could have stop this
But I refuse to let this go on any longer

You Wanted To Know How I Felt

We were in and out 
Of this “so-called” relationship for too long
Not letting each other know how we felt 
Not really being in a relationship
I feel that it was solely based on sex
Don’t you think so…
Tell me when did we ever
Take time to talk to each other 
When we were alone
When did we ever just sit back and relax
When did we ever just have fun with each other
I would have to say… 
NEVER…
Yeah…
The sex was great…
But that’s not all I’m looking for
Maybe we do need to go our separate ways 
Do our own thing
But still raise our child
I thought that maybe we could work this out
But then I realized that what we have isn’t real
Why do I say it’s not real
Because we don’t communicate 
How can you have a real relationship and not communicate
NO…
You can’t have a real relationship and not communicate
I want someone who is going to tell me how they feel about something
Someone who isn’t going to hide their feelings
Someone who isn’t going to second guess their love for me
I wish that person was you

Behind Closed Doors

Many people look at the world 
And only see what happens around them 
But behind close doors 
Baby, you just don’t know what is going on 
You think that everything in the world is all fine and dandy 
But in truth 
There are so many problems 
With the government 
With the war 
But does our so-called president 
Tell us everything that is going wrong 
No… 
He just goes on throughout his day 
Knowing that there are problems 
In the world 
That he know he needs some help with 
But decides to try to do it on his own 
And do it all his way 
That’s what is really going on 
Behind closed doors

Wondering About Yourself

Sometimes you wonder 
How life is going to turn out for you 
You think about how things should be 
Or how you want things to be 
But everything doesn’t always work out 
The way you want it to
Sometimes it is best to let things happen 
And if it goes wrong 
Then you learn from your mistake 
Don’t go on bringing yourself down 
Saying that you know you could have done better 
Or that you know you shouldn’t have did that 
Just keep your head up 
You’ll do better next time 
Trust me, no one is perfect
