Secrets

Secrets are grey
They taste like lemons
They smell like rotten eggs
They look like monsters
They make you feel like a liar

Take a Moment

If you really take a moment
To look
Behind the laughs
Beyond the smiles
You will find how I really feel
The tears
The pain
You see it all 
And if you look deeper
That's where you'll find 
All my thoughts
What did I do wrong
Why does this always happen
Why can't I just be happy
But the truth is
Very few
Look beyond the mask

Mixed Emotions

I can't explain the way you make me feel
Falling for you wasn't in the deal
Our relationship was never ideal
But my love for you was real

The little fights finally got to me
All I ever wanted to do was flee
I finally told you how I felt under the shade tree
That was the last time you talked to me

The hardest part is seeing you everyday 
I would be happy with a simple "hey"
I wish you would meet me half way
You won't even look my way
It's the 365th day

Don'T Understand It

Many years ago
I fell for you
We fought over stupid stuff
You could always put a smile on my face
Then the more we fought
The more I stopped liking you
Then you went too far
I couldn't go back
The feelings I had
Were bottled up inside
Ready to start a flame
We grew apart
Didn't talk for almost a year
Then I realized
I missed how your smile
Lit up my world
So I simply said hi
Who knew a simple word could heal a broken heart
I just don't understand how
I love you
But... I know it will never be

This Is Me

I am numb 
I am never good enough 
I am tired 
I don't love myself 
My smile hides it all 
You see me happy 
You see a strong person 
You don't see the whole picture 
I let you see my shield  
If you were to look within 
You would cry too 
If I put down my armor 
The tears would flood 
The smile would melt away 
The laughs would be soundless 
The color would drain from my face
You could see the real me 
The me I don't even like see
