Survivor

You look over she has a smile 
But you don't realize the pain inside her
She laughs and plays til the day goes away 
Just a normal kid you would think 
But behind those laughs and smiles 
You wouldn't know she's a survivor 
From a disease that took everything but her spirit 
When people thought it was too late 
A miracle happen that day 
She made it through sitting in the hopsital room 
Behind those laughs and smiles 
You wouldn't know she's a survivor

Walk In My Shoes

You think you know me 
because you can see me 
You think you know my life
Because you can hear me speak 
You think you know the feelings on the inside 
Because the smile on the outside 
You label me for the little things I do 
You label me for the little things I say 
But you don't know me 
You may think you are better than me 
Fact is I'm a lot stronger than you think I am 
You don't know what i have been through 
So please keep an open mind 
Don't judge me 
Until you have walked in my shoes

Moving Ahead

People may have hurt you in the past
But as long as you can say 
You are strong 
You are beautiful 
You are perfect in everyway 
that is all that matters 
Don't let bad memories tear you down 
Let them build you 
Become a stonger person 
Put them in a box 
Keep it closed
So later you can look back 
To help you better 
and score higher 
Than you thought you ever could 
Never Forget  Move Ahead

Different

She held her head high 
Reached up and touched the sky 
Wondering
What would happen if she grew wings and flew
Flew away 
Away from this hateful place
Where we judge one another and discriminate 
Where people act fake 
Wondering why they do what they do 
Why they feel the need to be the same 
Not their own person 
But the anwser is infront of us 
In this hateful place 
Where people judge one another and discriminate 


R.I.P. Amanda

Drop Out

She made the mistake 
She left her dreams behind
Her father gone 
Her mother lost in her own world
Baby brother became her own
Partime worker 
Age 16
She started to pray day and night 
When things just didn't turn out right
Hoping a guardian angel would stop by
The day came sooner than she thought 
Hope can alive
She walked on that stage 
She sang her heart away
It was never a mistake 
She would have never made it to this stage

Mom

You are my Mother, my Best Friend, and the most amazing teacher
You are always there when i need you 
You never let me down 
Always told me to shine through the crowd
Push me to do my best even when i don't want to try 
You guide me through rough times and are always by my side
Taught me to set goals and follow my dreams 
You don't want to let me go 
You say i'm growing up way too fast 
But I won't forget what you taught me in the past
