You entered my life without consent
I didn't ask for you and I didn't need you
But I found I was thinking of you
Before I knew it, I convinced myself
I wanted you.
But this is all one-sided
My single dream of you
I saw more than was there
and before long I convinced myself
I needed you.
The dream grew to an epic fantasy
but I never considered your part in it
I saw only from my vantage point
and so in time, I convinced myself
you wanted me.
The daydream grew
In this dream, I had courage and a place
your life would be complete with me
so I convinced myself
to invite you in.
The fantasy crashed around me
I have no place in your life, and you, none in mine
You neither wanted nor needed me
I now have had to command myself
to move on and forget you.
One minute I was convinced
we were definitely in love
In haste we fell...
Yet you dropped me just as fast
You didn't even think before
breaking my heart
It was over in an instant
Trauma was your parting gift
And with how quick you dipped
I'm convinced...
you didn't cry for me
I'm convinced...
you didn't feel a thing
This unforseen plot twist
derailed my dreams
And it oh how I began to bleed...
My heart screamed in agony
because it was real for me
Never live to impress the world
Of a truth, you die not of regret when the world whirled
lying's only a short term solution ~ truth's a lifelong persuasion

My fourteen year old daughter was the star of a children's TV show.
But because she grew large breasts, they decided to let her go.
They said that because of her growth spurt, It would be inappropriate for her to be on a children's show.
They said they were sure that I would understand but I was furious and I said "Hell no".
I said that it was discrimination and it was an immoral reason for firing my teenage daughter.
She was more than willing to sue because of the morals that my wife and I have taught her.
It was wrong to fire her because of mother nature's handiwork and the judge agreed.
My daughter was awarded ten million dollars, that was what the judge decreed.
We didn't sue because of the money, we sued to stand up to their discrimination.
When I say that they didn't get away with what they did, It's not an exaggeration.
We strive against the stream
Each moment farther from the shore
Where life’s young fountains gleam
Each moment fainter wave the fields
I don’t remember ever saying yes just no
I am searching for my own body
Not the one I was told is so
I want to be always open
I have ignored you for a year
I have known your name for centuries
But mines still just a foreign language to you.
My tongue is tied
And you are lost in translation
But that just how these things will remain.
My body sings every time
Because your picture is like a melody
You deserve it to hit me..
I am an old soul, I thought you should know
A lot older than my body will ever show.
I am the truth and the truth is within me
If you look inside then you to can be.
I'm not saying I'm special or gifted
Just that my mind has opened and my conscious has shifted.
God or man it's your choice which you be,
we're all one and the truth will set you free,
If you can dream it, then so may it be.
Connect your dots and be one with yourself
Put the work in and remember your health.
With love, enthusiasm, fear and heart
That's how your journey should start.
Make your plan and follow it to the letter
Convince yourself "you're a go getter".
Your mind is very rarely right
Your gut and your heart will help you see the light.
Please do not go out and stamp on another
Remember, everyone is your sister and brother.
You will be judged for everything you do
Just know your reason and make sure your lesson was learned too.
Its all about who you are today
Always be better than you was yesterday.
Everyone can teach you something new
Life's about the many and not just the few.
As the rest of the world moved on to nowhere anywhere they may find it
I stayed behind stuck in the hole I dug myself,
convinced that the bottom held all the answers.
no está convencido y formación de ampollas en la llama
cantando una canción de seis peniques
saber de dónde salió
cepillando la peor de las cosas
y deseando tener más tiempo para llorar
ver todas las arenas del tiempo
caer a través de las manos como si se estaban pagando
raspando su piel como si todo se iría
como si hubiera oportunidad de obtener una más
si usted le rogó al cielo o adoraban las corrientes
como si hubiera algo en estas cosas, además de la materia que se pudren
y sin embargo usted sabe que no está cada vez más jóvenes
usted sabe las sombras tienen el asesino al acecho
sabes lo real que ha querido a cabo desde hace años
seguir diciendo a todos tus amigos que estás bien
sigo diciendo a ti mismo en la noche
sigo diciendo que el espejo que tienen una segunda oportunidad
sigo diciendo que las muñecas no cortarlos
seguir caminando en el bosque con ningún método
siguen gritando en la parte superior de sus pulmones
evitar envolverse en plástico
seguir continuando
como va a hacer ninguna diferencia en absoluto
como va a hacer ninguna diferencia en absoluto
como va a hacer ninguna diferencia en absoluto.
You might look at me
think I'm young and sweet
but where there should be tenderness
and innocence
lounges a body of biterness.
I don't believe in anything.
I don't believe in anything.
When their young wives age will they still love them?
I've seen nothing of the kind yet.
Does a decade mean anything anymore?
Or is it just a destination to pass and ignore?
Why do his eyes roam?
Why do his hands roam?
I don't believe in anything.
Can the heart be only stolen
or broken?
Or can it be honestly conviced?
I will sort through my possessions
burn up my bitterness
stuff my brand new luggage
with only love
and hand it all
over to someone
with my convinced heart
in my sturdy hands.
It can be convinved.
It can be convinced.
They'll make a spectacle of me
when they visit our colony.
When their love fails
they'll blame it on love itself
but they simply did not follow through
and they won't believe,
they won't believe anything.
But we do.
I'm convinced.
I'm convinced.
I'm convinved
From the top of my head to the bottom of my of my feet,
this girl right here is simply unique.
People tease and say I'm conceited,
but I say I'm just convinced.
I need no one to tell me how good I look or how beautiful I am,
and to be happy and wonderful I don't need a man.
When it comes to these words I cannot mince,
I am just convenced.
I can sit in the mirror and stare for hours,
and upgrade myself with love showers.
People say the way I talk about myself doesn't make since,
and I reply,"I'm just convinced."
In egypt I would have been a pueen,
because I am what true beauty means.
Upon myself I am tightly fixed,
I am just convinced.
she stands in front of the mirror. why can't anyone see her?
she's hurt and she's scared, no ones ever there.
she thinks about maybe taking her very last wink...because she's convinced that
nobody cares
She thinks about tomarrow, it doesnt matter to her.
all she sees is this image in the mirror and wonders, "is this really me?"
The ground she stands is very weak, her laugh she fakes, hoping to wake the
next day and be happy...still she's convince that she cant be.
She sits and looks at her wrists...all cut up and bloody. and she starts to
wonder, "is this really me?"
Her eyes bloodshot from the quiet tears that run down her cheaks, and her thraot
is swollen from all her silent screams.
why doesnt anyone hear her?
why was she so convinced that nobody cares?
If only someone was there to catch her before she fell, before she startsed to
wonder. i wish someone would let her see what she really needs to think. but all
she ever did was wonder, "is this really me?"
and then she found her answer.......but now..where is she??
