I was okay 
Until my dreams got crushed

~ Cry ~


Clothes ripping
I am struggling
I can’t get away I can’t even scream
So alone
So very alone

Make him go away
But no one comes
And he gets his way
And finally he...

For

Beautiful

I remember being a young girl 
Wanting to fit in 
Thinking pounds of makeup would make me pretty

It...

I used to dwell on the past
I had no clue 
How lucky I was
How lucky I am
Always a victim
I played the role well
Falling into traps
Situations I couldn't get out of
Putting myself in comprimizing places
I hated...

Back To the Beginning

I remember
As a little girl
Christmas Eve sitting around the fireplace
With my brothers and sisters
Listening to Mom and Dad

Of the first Christmas

Christmas morning getting up and getting dressed

I remember the first time
 Voices in my head getting way too loud

~Unconditional~

I have never been one
To give my heart away freely
Always afraid of getting it broke
Taking my time 
Trying to get it right
Yet I still get hurt
When I give my heart away

Unconditional

One day a cowgirl
The next trying to plug in your stuffed rabbit
We never knew what you were going to do next
You never ceased to amaze...

Slowly it turned into more
Afraid to say it at first

A pat on the back
A shoulder rub
Working its way down the back
A simple hug
Making our hearts soar
Anticipation
Of what can come
When our bodies become one
Our hearts beat faster
Enjoying every minute

So many possibilities
