Something Unsaid

Roses are red.
My heart went blue.
All that should have been said
should have all be true.

High School Years

A time to grow.
A time to learn.
To grow as a person.
To sit in class.
To be a student.
High school.
What is it?
Math. 
Science.
Gym.
All ways to grow.
English.
Spanish.
Theology.
Growing intellectually.
Sports.
Arts.
Clubs.
All fun times with friends.
High school is a place to learn
About yourself.
About the world.
About how to live your life.
The time you spend here is precious.
Love it.
Enjoy it.
Spend it with friends.
High school years are 
Some of the best times of your life.

Internal Epaphan

Alone is for now. 
Forever means nothing. 
Love isn't real.
The world seems to kick you when you're down.

Loneliness can be the happier thing you will ever know.
Forever  is just a fairytale.
Love only happens in the movies.
The world just turns everyone against you.

Why try to be with others?
Why try to find the one who you will spend forever with?
Why try to fall in love?
The world will take all that away from you.

The pain is here.
The pain is real.
The pain is the only thing
that will keep you grounded.

Don't try to explain.
They won't listen.
All they care about 
is their own happiness.

What Does It Mean

What does it mean?
To be me that is.
I am my own person.
No one can tell me what to do
Or who to be.
I believe what I want.
I do what I want.

What does it mean? 
To be called human.
Does it mean to do what
Society tells me what to do
Or what I should be.
Or who I should call friend.
How should I be human?

What does it mean?
To live?
Living my live 
As me or as human.
Is there really a difference?
Why can't I be who I am
While being a better human.

Love

Love.
It is a feeling unknown. 
It is a feeling of waiting,
of longing,
of needing.

Love.
What is it?
Wanting to share yourself,
your life,
your soul.

Love.
Is it real?
Could it be?
Should it be?
Would it be?

Dreams

Dreams are real.
They show who I really am
And what I truly feel.

They prove a point.
A point that we are all 
not truly crazy.

I have dreams.
Dreams to live
and to love.

Dreams of people.
Love for some
Hate for others.

Dreams are full
of wishes for
those we can's have.

So what are dreams?
Visions?
Wishes?

Or are they to prove 
that I can have
a very stable mind.

I Thought

I thought you were great.
But you turned out to hurt 
worst than that burn on my soul.
Your true colors finally shown.

I thought it was love.
I thought this would be
the relationship that would
triumph all the others.

I thought I was happy.
The happiest I have ever been.
And you know what.
That happiness came from you.

I thought...
But in all honesty,
I don't really know
What I really thought.

I Love You

I love you.
I need you now more than ever! 
Just stay by my side and never let me go.
Time itself can come between us not now, not ever.
When we are apart my heart counts the beats till we meet again.
I love you.
No matter what anyone says, 
I will always love you.
My feelings will never change for you.
I will always be there for you no matter what because I care.
I love you.
You’re the one I think of when I wake up.
You’re the one I think of when I sleep.
I always have you on my mind.
I love you.
When we are near, I can never find the words to tell you how I really feel.
My love for you is deeper than six feet under.
My love for you is longer than five hundred miles.
I will do anything for you.
I breathe for you. I would even die for you.
I love you.

My True Feelings

I say I'm fine
when inside I’m not
I try to be happy for you 
but I can't.
I put on a smile to make you see
that I am the supportive friend 
that I am suppose to be.
But really I cant stand it.
When you go all goo-goo for him.
It makes me want to puke.
Then I remember how I felt.
How happy you were for me
when I was with him.
How full of love I felt.
The world was my oyster.
And even then you were there for me.
Now I will be there for you.

Stress

stress.
why do you torment me so?
you get in my way.
you make me sick.
stress.
why are you here?
why do you make me life full of pain?
why stress?
stress helps me learn.
it makes me stronger.
it is a part of my life.
