The Princess I Am

I deserve to be loved
And cared for
I need to be needed
And long to be adored
This is so hard
Why can't I find
A decent man who 
Can make up his mind
A trustworthy man
Where can he be
A lover and a friend 
To want only me
I'm not asking for too much
Why can't men understand
I just want to be treated
Like the princess I am

The Little Yellow Post-It

Passed across the counter
Where no one else could see
Was a little yellow post-it
With a message just for me
It said smile beautiful
With a smiley face below it
I may not have the guy
But I'll always have my post-it

I'M Sorry

I tried so hard
To do as I was told
But all you were
Was hurtful and cold

The yelling and screeming
It was all very tough
Knowing I'd never
Be good enough

I wanted to please you
Be as perfect as can be
What was so bad 
About being just me

I'm sorry I failed you
I know you're disssapointed
I'm sorry I'll never be 
The child you wanted

Repeat Nightly

Close my eyes
See your face
Blood runs cold
Body starts to sweat
Eyes jerk open 
Frozen in fear
Listen for footsteps
Will this be the night
She kills me in my sleep
Flee from my bed
Retreat to Mom and Dad
Sleep on the floor
Beside their bed
Repeat nightly

My Life My Pain

This is my life
I was sent here to live 
Roll with the punches
The take and the give
Sometimes I don't 
Make the right choice
But I'm not afraid
To have my own voice
I live I love 
I laugh I cry
It's the way it goes
No one knows why
I made my choices
The good and the bad
These are my feelings
The happy and the sad
Please don't judge me 
You have nothing to gain
Let me do it my way
My life My pain

Lost

I look in the mirrow
Who do I see
A perfect stranger
Looking back at me
The girl I once was
Was perky and bold
Now all I am
Is jaded and cold
The sparkle has gone
Out of my blue eyes
Now they're full
Of anger, hurt, and despise
I used to belive 
In fate, love, and trust
Now I'm just filled
With hate and discust
So I keep looking 
Trying to see
The happier person
I long to be
I will keep searching 
No matter the cost
I'm tired of being
All alone and lost

Trapped Inside My Body

I lie awake staring at the ceiling
Looking for answers in these four walls
Trying to find my way without a compass
Doomed to spend my life wondering the halls
How did I ever get this lonely
Going through life without a friend
Every bit of my heart is broken
How will I ever make it mend
I push myself to keep on going
How do I find the strength to try again
I have so much love trapped inside my body
It would be a shame to let it die within

Escape

Somedays I wake up Can't hardly breath
I'm slowly drowning Waves crashing over me
My guilt overcomes me I'm dying inside
From the pain and anger There's nowhere to hide
I'm lost and broken With no hope in sight
Heartbroke and lonely Consumed with fright
I open my mouth Try to scream
No sound will come out It feels like a dream
I've been forgotten Cast to the side
How do I get off This rollercoaster ride
From this nightmare I must awake 
I'm constantly trying To plan my escape
