No Tittle, There Is None That Matters

When i woke up this moring you were the first thing on my mind

And i already know when i close my eyes tonight its your face i will see

Although my thoughts of you are constant and quite painfull

Im never surprised when they appear

Can i trust you? Oh i wish i could trust you

Sometimes when i look at you i see the innocense of a child lead astray

I see a truly beautiful soul looking to join with another

And then there are times when i see hatred in you kind eyes

I see someone who knows fully what you are doing 

And without remorse continues to do so

So why the constant thought, why the constant pain

Why cant i tell you to leave me be?

My life has been a search and but until now i have had no leads

Ive been searching for the one who's heart beats n'sync with mine

That beat, that calm, peaceful beat i thought i found in you

I thought i saw it in your eyes

I dont know if i was wrong but i dont know if i was right

But i know that somehow i feel tied to you presence

And without knowlege or permission

My soul will dream of your tonight

Its Ok

You opened the door, on my scared young heart, the moment you walked into 
the room

  And your eyes seemed to penetrate, and you eyes seemed to say, "its ok-ok to 
be attracted to me"

  So i sat very still and looked around the room, waiting to make up my mind

  And i sat in the spot of 3 and 1/2 months, comfy and tormented, confused by 
inner shock

  And at the right moment, on the right day, i was about to confess undying love, i 
tried and i tried but the words wouldn't come

  But your eyes seemed to penetrate and your eyes seemed to say "its ok-ok to 
love me"

  So love i did, with all my heart, and somewhere in you i found the missing and 
the missed part of me

  And i cried when you left me oh it hurt so bad, through tears in my eyes i missed 
the message in yours

  Now i see you, sometimes alone sometimes with friends, and it is then i 
remember being 19

  It is then i remember what innocence and ignorance feels like and i miss it

  And i read your eyes- they feed me a changing message- first i read...

  "i'm sorry i hurt you, i'm sorry i brought you into this lifestyle, its ok to hate me"

  And then i see...

  "i think so you everyday, i need you in my life, i'm so sorry i hurt you, its ok to 
miss me"

  I close my eyes, to shake confusion, when they open you are gone, but where 
you ever really there

  And then i wonder, why do i care, why since the beginning have i looked for 
permission in your eyes, why didn't i look in my own

  In the mirror, out the window, at the sky, or even in my own soul,- my soul has 
the answers

  My problem...only you have the questions

Do You Care

I turn on the news, it isn't there
Internet top stories, college football, Britney Spears, it isn't there
400,000 dead do you not care?

I care

three eight year old girls raped, chained together and burned alive
I care

After the Holocust we promise ourselves and future generations never again
But there's Rhonda, Uganda, Tibet and Sudan

The world it seems just does not care

What if it was me?
What if i lived in Darfur?
Geogaphy is my savior
That i was born in the USA give me a sense of pride
It does not give me a sense of superiority

What if I, A group of I
Attractive, young, white female lived in Darfur
Would you continue on with your life
Would you pretend there was no genocide

You can tell yourself the same thing the politicians tell us
That it is not a race issue
But lets be honest, its poor black African being murdered and do we care?

I care
You should care
Please care


Please learn about Darfur

2003

What do you do when love is out there but your afraid to find it

Everyday the opportunites are endless

There are opportunities for both purly physical and deeply emotional 
relationships

I however am now terrified of both

What happens if i open up again

What happens if i get stuck there again

Pain, i cannot handle the pain again

When i was young i never let another person really in

I never felt comfortable in another person 

Although they foolishly felt it in me

My only expierence in love has turned into my biggest failure

Now i know that it is time

It is way past time

To actually live life instead of being a constant observer

i dont want to wreck my future running from my past

I've been trying not to make foolish mistakes

Mistakes that everyone must make to grow

Somehow i still believe that i can grow without expierencing the diversities of life 
and love

I try to believe that life will happen for me but if there is a path,

If there is always a reason than i must wonder,

What have the last 2 years been

Did i come here to finally open up

To fall in love and join the human race

What have i accomplished?

A trail of broken hearts follow me everywhere 

And at the very end is my own

No longer bleeding but still aching

If i could move on maybe my smiles wouldnt have to be fake

There is nothing more painfuly to me than a broken heart,

Followed by dozens of daily compliments

Followed by false smiles and heldin tears

Coming Out

Outside the sky is clear. Its dark tonight, at least from in here

There are millions of people doing millions of things

But somewhere there is a girl, sitting alone, wishing things could change

I dont know how long ive been here

I dont know how long i'll stay

But i know that it seems like things are never going to change

Somewhere someone is happy

Somewhere someone is sad

There are people falling in love

There are people being bad

As i sit here all alone, i try not to be mad

But its hard when everywhere i look, everyone appears to be glad

It seems as though i dont fit in

Maybe thats how its suppost to be

Maybe thats why im here

I try to find the answers i look and look and look

But everytime i see the light, it quickly disappears

So what do you do when the right thing cant be found

What do you do when all you want is to be found yourself

Somewhere someone is happy

Somewhere someone is sad

And somewhere there's a girl sitting on her ass

Grey Book

My life is movie i wouldnt want to see

My friends are people i wouldnt want to meet

And yes its hard for me to sleep

When i think of how things used to be

A Better Me

When i was very young

I used to pray everyday

For God to send someone

Who could make it ok

But now that im grown

Ive become to see

What i should have prayed for

Is a better me
