Emotional Roller Coaster

What do I say
That Im okay
Lieing to myself
And others anyways
Emotions caughtup
Aint got no luck
Nothing to hold on to
Right now, it just really sucks
The fact that Im left behind
With no extra time
To think about whether to hold on
Or just let it go and hope everything's fine
All my words caught up
Dont know what to feel
Dont know what to write 
Wish it wasnt real
There's always something wrong
That can never be turned right
Just wanna be happy 
With love and delight
Too bad 
Oh well
Im sad
Cause Ive failed
Myself
My life
My feelings 
What's right
Will
I 
Make
It
Through
The 
Night?

Play Your Cards Rights

Changing my ways
Looking for hope
Wishing for peace
Releasing moap

Crying for help
No one hears
Trapped in someone's body
Retrieving all fears

Nobody understands you
You cant open up
You lie to yourself
Though you're hopeless enough

Capturing the attention
Of all that stare
You cant defy the hate
Your heart still makes you care

You think thoughts of anger
Combobulating for love
Dreaming big dreams
Flying away with the doves

You dont take life seriously 
Although you try hard
Life is a game
So be careful how you play your cards.

Jenny Jenny

Jenny Jenny 
Dont you cry
Ill lift you in the sky

You dont want to go
Then where to 
Youre confusing me Jenny
Tell me what you want to do

You want some ice cream 
Just wait a sec
Naaahhh i changed my mind
Just like you did the 1st 3 times

Your so picky
You always cry
Im gonna make you happy
Just stand by

Jenny youre annoying
Youre not the only one
Its getting really boring
I want to have some fun

I guess its time to take you home 
Since you dont wanna have fun with me
Put on your jacket
Your shoes
Your socks

Tell mom I love her alot
You cant stay with me
Because you dont wanna have fun
Ill go find a new little sister
Shell be my number 1

Jenny Jenny dont you cry
There goes moms house we just passed by

I was only kidding
But you did make me upset
Lets just have fun
Our day has just begun
I got ice cream and dont forget

Jenny Jenny are you satisfied
I cant forget all the times youve cried 
I finally got you what you want 
You get all the love 
the flaws and the flaunts

Jenny Jenny Its been along day
Well try this again tomorrow
So dont be sway
Dont cry just smile
and chill for a while

The Boldness Is Yet Within

Ive found my place in life
Well at least I think I did
Im trying to be bold and courageous
But my confidence yet stays hid
People tell me that Ive changed
But the truth is I think I just found myself..
And truth be told
Im nothing like everyone else
But Ill wake up one day 
And become more bold
My confidence will stay strong
And never get old
But Im only 13 
And I have more of a life to begin
Yet I stiil stand here 
Cause my BOLDNESS is yet within.

I Dont Belong

I’ve had time to think it over
Should I stay mad forever?
Should I keep regretting?
Should I hate myself for it


No I shouldn’t 
Because it’s not worth it
I’m not perfect
Nobody’s perfect

If everyone was perfect
There wouldn’t be any mistakes 
For people to learn from


I just live in a world  
Where I feel I don’t belong
I feel I should be somebody
I don’t want to be so caught up 
That I can concentrate
And end up doing something I’ll regret.


So I’ll keep my peace 
And never say a word
That where I am
Is not where I belong………..

Our Friendship

When we were friends
I thought our friendship would never end
But I guess I was wrong
You were like the sky
And I was the grass
But then a big hurricane came
And it got between 
Our friendship
You didnt lauhg with or at me
You didnt talk to me
You didnt joke with me
I guess we werent supposed 
To be friends
We just HAPPENED
But now
ITS OVER.......

A Memoir To Me

She's got a smile that would light up the world 
 Skin so dark and lovely
 Always had those dirty ole fingernails
 Never that outspoken, but when she spoke, oh she said it
 Was so neat and artistic
 Always writin' and wonderin'
 Writin and wonderin'
 Never that guilty of anything
 Tried to be a perfect little angel
 That girl everyone befriended
 So shy, so mellow so sweet 
 Sweeter than peaches on a Sunday afternoon
 Always smilin' bout somethin'
 She's got a smile that would light up the world
 Skin so dark and lovely

My Name

My name starts with a T,
And it does have a Y,
Dont you EVER say my name starts with an I,

Hey, you better listen
And you better say 
That my name is spelled T-Y-K-E-I-A!!

Mystery of Me, Myself, & I

It's like I'm all mixed up
Dont know what to say 
Don't know what to do 
Don't know what to feel
It's like I get this feeling that just makes me wonder
What if I don't take a chance?
What If something great was standing before me, and I didnt even realize it?
I am so weird, I don't  even get mysef!
But then again; the "other" side of me is doing what makes me happy
I just wanna open up and show how I really feel and what I really am
But I just can't find the words to say it
I've just bundled up so much inside of me to not even understand or believe in myself
But I think it's my destiny I think, no I KNOW that understanding me is that I don't wanna 
be understood, I like to be a mystery that no one can figure out
But if you figure me out, then you don't understand me.

Me Against the World

I went to bed on top of the world
Today  the worlds on top of me
it’s  me against the world
at   least that’s what it seems

i try not to feel hate 
and the pain that’s coming along
i wanna cry so bad 
cause everything seems so wrong
  
just yesterday i was happy
living life and well
then a boulder came 
and there i fell

helpless and under  pressure
nothing left to say
what did i do
to get treated this way

I guess people do change
Especially on me 
You close your eyes then open them
Its all gone at 1,2,3

But I still gotta live life 
Til its my time to go 
Even though im hurt 
There’s life there still I know
