Are You Missing Me!

I sit here in this room all afternoon
Wondering about you
If you’re okay if you’re alright
If you’re missing me yet
Cause I am missing you

My mind is racing all the time
With thoughts of you and me
I try to push them back
But they won’t leave me alone

So I sit up late at night and watch
The moon
Knowing that you’re looking
At that same moon
At the same time
And wonder if you’re missing me
Cause I am missing you

The Mom I Never Had

My mom and I were tight
When I was younger
But as I got older, we started
Fighting physically and verbally
I developed a lot of anger towards her
She never wanted to listen to the bad
She never heard the good
We went to different ways
Than I was all alone
I had no one to tell me good-night or to tuck me in
I had no one to hold me when I cried or tell me that they loved me
I had no one to run to when I got into a bad relationship and need help.
That was until you came into my life
You gave me reasons to live my life
You helped me when all I seen was the darkness
When I was in over my head
You took good care of me
You became the mom that I had always wanted
You held me when I cried
You helped me when I was afraid to be alone
You helped me to enjoy Christmas when I hated the holidays
You helped me become who I am today
But the best thing you did was say that you loved me

My Secret

My secret
Its days like this that I want to run and hide
I want to lock myself in my room
I want to scream
I want to shout
I want to tell you to get out
I want to say that you really don't know me
You just think you do
I’m not sweet
I’m not innocent
I’m just as bad as or worse than you
I may not have done the drugs
But what I did was worse
I buried it down deep inside of me
Until it was eating me away
I wanted to just push it aside and make it disappear
My life was better of without me
It was an easy way out
I tired it twice but it didn’t work
I’m stuck here for a reason
I had to deal with it
I had to admit that I was wrong
And than I had to move on.

A Friend

I was the girl that sat around and listened to everyone, who laughed when others 
did, who talked only when spoken to, I sat in the corner and wrote about my 
felling to scare to say anything. I was the girl who cried herself to sleep at night 
hoping everything would be alright.
I kept up my guard and didn’t let anyone in
I thought I could do this all on my own or maybe it was because I was to scared 
to let people in and because I was hurt to many times before, my pain is 
something that I don’t want to deal with again I didn’t want to be hurt again I don’t 
want to be left alone, but for some reason I let you into my life and trusted you 
and told you things I thought I would never talk about again you showed me that 
you wanted to know about me and that you cared. I hope I wasn’t to open. 
Sometimes my life scares people sometimes it even scares me. But you didn’t 
judge you sat there with an open heart and teary eyes, you felt the pain that I felt 
and you became my friend. I know that I can come to you when the darkness 
closes in and I don’t see the light or when I am falling and know that you will be 
there to grab my hand and help me pull myself back up thanks for being my friend

The Fear

I have this little fear
It is the fear of being alone
Sometimes its even the thought
Or it’s the felling that I am alone

It doesn’t matter how many people are around
Or how many people try to cheer me up
It just doesn’t work

I don't know why I have this big fear
I haven’t been threw that many traumatic things
I know that your fears are sometime a good thing
But when you live your life being afraid it is not a good thing
