A Reason

i walk down these halls
pass people who say rude remarks
behind my back they just laugh
i look down counting 
the tiles on the floor 
the way they snicker
they must think its all just a game
if they knew what i go home to
maybe they'd be nicer
if they knew 
i need a reason to live
a reason to cry
a reason to feel 
what ive been keeping inside 
a reason to smile when you walk by
please save me from this torture called life
day after day goes by 
the cuts on my arm 
get deeper with time 
the kids look at the bruises on my arms
i just duck and hide
save me now before i find a reason to kill myself
im drowning in my own made waterfall
someone please help

Something Changed

something changed
you dont look at me like you use to
we barely talk
we barely speak
something changed
when you look at
me in the eyes you don't see the sparkle in my eyes
something changed
you dont hear a word i say
do you even care that i am living ... breathing
you don't kiss me like you use to
something changed
you dont call me babe
something changed
you dont claim me as yours
something changed
i used to be your friend your lover
something changed 
you dont care if i come home late
something changed

Cant

cant someone just reach for my heart not
 reach inbetween my legs
 you tear me apart scatter the
 pieces just leave them if you find them
 remember my hearts fragile its not elastic and
 im not plastic i have a mind of my own
 its not a game if you wanna buy my
 soul leave me alone cant you see 
all my scars are man made i dont want
 to be someones personal punching
 bag i dont want my arms to be my
 cutting board cant someone
 just hold me close and say . . . i love you tell me to
 please stay and if i deny they wont chain
 me down and force me to remain

Own Worst Enemy

im my own worst enemy 
im tired of being compared to all these celebrities 
there so pretty and well im me
i wake up and fight a battle with the mirrior 
i push you away afraid i might feel pain
i run when i see rain stay around when i see fire 
always in a place at the wrong time 
cant walk a straight line and i cant figure out an
 equation i couldnt love you the right way im
 not very good at chemistry i leave the straightner 
on to long ive almost caught the house on fire i cant
 cook anything unless it comes in a box my heart
 doesnt have a lock my walls are four stories high
 and my eyes arent a perfect green and i cant
 rollerblade without breaking something ive
 almost drowned in a foot of water me and my
 brother fight me and my mom dont always get 
along i always have to have the last word i had
 to change my ways i always say to much my shirts
 show to much skin  
cant u see im my own worst enemy

Everytime

every time i see your face in my dreams
i cry you were my everything
but you scared me
took me away from my family
you touched me and cut me
burned me
i hope you go to hell
you earned my trust
said you weren't in for the lust
you messed me up 
you chained me down
and forced my love
well its all gone now
there's nothing left of me
you stole me
what did i do to you
except be the only one who
cared for you
well not anymore
that's all out the door
im staying away from you
ill change my name if i have to

She Took Her Life

she took her life
I surrender
this aint my fault
this aint what i asked for 
someone please help
she was my best friend
i didn't know she needed help
i saw the marks on her arm
but i never said a word
this is a message
i am sending 
letting you know i am reminiscing
girl you jumped 
i could've stopped you 
but i wasn't there
i left you
you were so upset 
your family was gone 
you turned to me just to find
your alone did he hurt you
there's bruises on your arms
only if i could help 
but your gone

Thinking About You

I go to bed thinking about you
I wake up thinking about you
my world revolves around you
im in love with you
your the reason
why there's a sparkle in my eye
your the only reason i see light
 when i lay down to sleep at night i pray
 for another day just so i can see your face
when i see you
all my thoughts
leave my head
i wish you would
come to my bed
but when i wake
i turn over and 
i don't see your pretty face
i Wonder if you think the same
i go to bed thinking about you
i wake up thinking about you

Use To

ive been mistreated and hurt
use to be beaten to where it hurts 
but see its all good now because 
i can look in the mirrior and see that scar and realize how far ive survived in this life
to me its now a trophy show everyone 
im coping 
with my misery
im sorry was i supposed to stay down
was i supposed to stick aroud 
take one more hit to the ground
yes you've had it tough 
but there's no reason to fuss
this misery in your heart
it goes away as soon as the day
you admit to yourself
there's another way
i can smile and let my tears fall
without having to hide 
behind a wall of denial
now im not afraid to push back 
i use to be afraid of you
but now im standing next to you

Cant Live This Way

look in my eyes to find the real me
Ive been through hell 
dragged through the mud
being in this no stop world
is making me twirl
i am confused
and i am looking through the news 
just to see all the discriminating and hating that's
out there on the streets
its dangerous to take a step out my door 
without being beaten 
welcome to my world
i have scars on my arms 
god hear me out when 
i say i cant 
live this way
cigarettes on my floor please no more
headache from satin 
roaches on the floor
i need
to get me out of this place
and don't judge me when i say 
i cant live this way
