If someone cannot handle a situation in another's life,
It is simple....
Say it in the beginning!
It is very hurtful to support someone's situation,
then when something happens,
they blame that person, revolt and reject,
with refusal to accept apologies, changing like a chameleon
Even when what happens is done by other people!
I have seen it before and it won't happen again
Lessons learned from pain may be the hardest,
but wisdom takes over and karma is real

Why do you try to impress me.
When it’s not even wreath it.
- you lie, and say things that are not true.
Just so I can like you.
- It’s kind of childish and silly.
But very hurtful in many ways.
- I like you for who you are.
Not a person who’s faking about having a car.
- All of you is fine.
So please stop with the stuff you have combine.
- Your hair is cute like the way you have it.
Don’t go out to the Barbara and shave it.
- Your eyes are black and shine.
Like a black diamond on a fancy necklace.
- You don’t have to impress me for my love.
Because you’re my everything from above.
I have all of this anger
thats stuck inside my heart
I dont know what to do with it
its ripping me apart
I need to let it out someway
but I just dont know how
My heart is pounding in and out
somtimes I scream ouch
I also have this saddness
thats driving me insane
I dont know what to do
its causing all this pain
My heart is very sensative
I get hurt really fast
I need something to hold on to
something to make me laugh
Sometimes I look so happy
but I really want to cry
I dont know how to handle this
so I hold it all inside
I gave all of this progress
a very special name
its called an act of anger
or a very hurtful gane
I know somewhere inside of me
I wish all this would go away
I guess i'll just have to deal
I guess i'll just have to pray
i see a doctor hurting as one of his patients pass.
i see a mother hurting as her children grow up to fast.
i see the firefighters hurting as they put out the fire from 9/11.
i see family's hurting as their loved ones go to heaven.
i see people hurting and wondering what their here for.
i see america hurting while we still remain in war.
i see america hurting as their jobs are taken away, and they are left without pay.
i've seen america hurting everyday.
i've seen america hurting in some very hurtful ways.
Cupid’s arrow strikes fear in to the hearts of many;
Stiffened by fear of the unknown;
But in war these relationships are bound by this arrow;
From this battle scars of past loves cover the heart and soul;
These battle scars will prove to be difficult in relationships;
Cupid’s accursed arrow will plunder your heart;
Only to allow The sword of doubt to strike the final blow;
Love by cupid’s arrow is very dangerous;
Yet it has a satisfying feeling;
This foolhardy and courageous emotion is very powerful;
It can also be very hurtful;
But though the dangers it is the most rewarding gift you can ever earn or receive;
Always ask yourself...
“is it worth it?”
(HE NEVER MISSES HIS TARGETS)
Last night a life was taken away
"God you really should've let him stay
We know that you want him up there with you
But we need him as much as you do"
He filled our hearts with joy
He was just a young boy
With him our days were filled with laughter
And lots of happy ever afters
We know he's not coming back
Oh What I'd give to hear"Let me hit that Black"
John is someone we'll never forget
Atleast we know he had no regrets
As we have to lay him to rest
We'll have to ace a test
A very hurtful pain
Like tight gripping chains
We'll have to pull together
Then soon it'll all get better
No one can ever take his place
Just look up and see his smiling face
R.I.P.
