Loner

Familiar faces pass me by,
People I know, love and despise.
Some are lucky to be in the “in-crowed”,
Others seem as if they just don’t care.
As for me, well I’m just a loner passing by.
I put on a mask of confusion to hide my true side;
One that only few get to know.
It’s rare for me to let people in…
To know me and who I really am.
As I walk the hall the faces seem to disappear,
And the halls are suddenly empty.
It’s just me…I’m the only one…I’m alone yet again.
But I don’t mind I’m usually alone.
Just me, myself, and I.
The lights flicker then fade away I’m left in darkness.
It’s gone from mid-day to mid-night in a matter of minutes.
No light but the lone moon.
The silence is an eerie sound, one that can make you go crazy.
It’s too much to bear,
I open my mouth to scream but no sound comes out.
I stop and think about why I’m trying.
For I’m only a loner hidden behind a mask
I hide my true side only few get to know.
I’m afraid to let people in….afraid of what they will think.
For under the mask there is a ragging storm.
A mass of darkness, thunder, and shadows.
A storm that’s taken control,
Waiting to come free…but I don’t let it.
I keep it lock inside my head.
The storm never ceases never calms for a moment.
Just gets bigger, my bad emotions fuel the storm
My anger, sadness and maybe misery.
With a sudden jolt I’m back to reality
Back to the halls of darkness
So I begin to fade, fade away in to the dark.
And before I’m gone you all hear me say…
I’m just the loner you passed by everyday but never really   saw.
Some said hi, some said hey
And as I begin to fade away
Tears of pain and tears of joy fall from my face.
They shed the mask I’v always worn.
And frees the storm inside my head.
I open my mouth but no longer have much to say
And when I’m gone the things I never said
Lay buried in the deep darkness.
Secret fears and secret lives never to be told.

The Dream

I had that dream again last night,
The one that leaves me crying.
He tells me im not good enough,
And i should just quit trying.
I was just a pawn in his hand,
To use then cast away.
He gets inside my head and plays these little games.
He made me believe that I was wanted.
He told me that he loved me, and he was here to stay.
But all he did was use me, 
And then he walked away.
Now im left here broken, saying its my fault.
Its really hard to talk about,
Because no one understands.
Whats its like to be abandoned by your dad again. 
To want his love for nine strait years,
To be the perfect daughter.
To be for him all that i can be.,
Just to have him walk away.
No one can see me breaking, 
Or the pain that this has caused.
I look fine on the outside, and say that nothings wrong.
Because im the strong one that never breaks,
Everyone counts on me, to make everything else go away.
So I bottle up my demons, and cast them all away.
Let no one know what im feeling.
Because, see that just my way. 
So i walk around with this fake smile on my face.
Knowing that one day he will see,
The daughter that i could be,
The daughter that he lost.
As i look toward tomorrow for a better day.
Because when i look around i know im loved 
By people who matter to me, 
My mother, my brother, and my sisters to.
And by a stepfather who means the world to me
So I can proudly say to him. To Mark
Who needs a fathers love like your anyway.

Fall From Grace

I've fallen from grace 
Crashed through the sky 
Landing crumpled where I lie
My sins are what sent me tumbling
Weighting down my soul. 
Wings ripped out 
Im bleeding from the scars
I've been cast out forever 
My golden halo no longer shines
My sins forever haunt me 
Lies, darkness, and empty eyes.
My fall from grace has left me hallow
Wishing for the girl who used to fly
Before the lies
Before the wrong paths my feet followed 
My mortal sins confine me 
Tormenting me in the form of
Darkness and daemons 
which attack me from all sides 
As they invade my mind.
If not for  being branded on my soul
I'd just wash them all away
Hoped to turn the water black 
Cleansing the shadows to light again
Ill live amongst the sinners now 
Forced to fight and try to survive
It's my eternal punishment.
Forced to wonder with those like me 
Other who have fallen 
because of their dark and secret sins
Aging till we die.
Maybe then I'll be forgiven 
For the sins written in my soul.
Maybe then in deaths embrace
 ill be able to fly again .

Love and Hate

The difference between love and hate,
is a small invisible line.
Some don't know it,
till they've crossed it.
While some have a foot planted on either side.
Love it changed to hate by,
rejection, lies, and tragedy.
Hate it turned to love by,
Forgiveness, enlightenment, and new memories.
People observe it everyday,
and it will never truly go away.
Both sides playing a game of tug-a-war,
fated to be tied.
No one side wins
No one side loses,
Because love and hate are one in the same
a double sided coin.
were one falls the other is always close behind.

My Soul Extended Song Lyrics

my soul (extended version\lyrics)
first verse
I close my eyes 
to keep my soul from shinning through
try to disguise 
the brokenness that lies inside 
the dust is settling now
whats left is all that remains
a tattered me a broken past
a girl who wants to be set free
its who I am

c 1
pull myself up off the floor 
wipe the dust from my brow
and break free from the chains that bind me
im gonna leave the past behind me 
and make a new way
spread my tattered wings and fly

verse 2

I open my eyes 
no longer hiding behind empty words and lies 
no way to disguise it
im gonna let my soul shine through
walk past the broken ruins 
just leave it all behind
as I face a new horizon
my smile breaks free
I am finally free 

c 2

pull myself up off the floor
wipe the dust from my brow
and sew the rips in my bleeding heart
so I can feel again
my chains are far behind me
and the tears fall from my eyes
as I find my way
flying as far as my scared wings will take me 

v 3 

my soul is shinning brightly now
my heart is finally healed 
no matter how many times
you chain me down
I will always break free
so just watch me soar to new possibility 
don't get in my way
I wont let you chain me down again
I was meant to be free

World of Red

A world filled with people,
No two the same,
Men, women, girls and boys,
Old souls and new out looks.
Seven billon people and a handful more.
All these people and no one understands,
The world is set to its own destruction.
A ticking time bomb waiting for the moment to explode.
We fight wars and build weapons,
but no one ever truly wins.
In our world, our many cultures;
The only constant fact being.
A truths that's hard to swallow.
We will always find something,
Anything to fight over and kill for.
The world is covered in a haze of
blood red that will never go away.

Left Alone Yet Again

You know that feeling,
The one you get 
Filled with pain, 
And heart break.
No, not the one
You feel in the 
Pit of your stomach.
No this is the feeling,
That grips your heart
With complete defeat, 
And total anguish.
I’m left alone again,
Abandoned by the one
Who truly knows me!
Best friends for years,
But foremost you said
We were family.
Fated ad tied,
The day we typed hello,
In the chat site that saved me.
Over seven years.
Consisting of an emotional rollercoaster,
We’ve laughed and cried,
But not once strayed from
The others side.
Seven years and,
The many names I came to call you.
Stranger, friend, even 
Lover to.
Soul mates then best friends,
Not one regret till your one eighty.
Blind sided, I had no warning.
Abandoned, left with
Discarded confessions,
Long talks and shared heartache.
You weren’t my ace,
Nor my savior.
I never once,
Asked you to save me. 
You were never meant to mend me.
Yes, i'm messed up.
Morals twisted,
Wrong choices are what surround me.
But they are my burden to bear,
Not yours to shoulder with me.
All I had ever asked, 
Was that my best friend,
Would stand beside me,
Not in front or behind me.
I should have known
Time and time again,
 Iv been abandoned by,
those I love so blindly.
So take you “space”
Don’t glance behind you.
This brokenness is
Just another scare on my heart,
Don’t mind me.
You get better, in fact
Why don’t you just
Forget about me.
I’m stronger than I look,
And despite all this 
Ill pull through.
I always have, not a doubt
Inside me.
With all my love
I’m praying for you.
Hope you find what you want.
Out of everyone,
You deserve it babe.
Ill miss you , but like you
I’m done.
Our whole past,
I’m leaving it behind me
Buried in a broken  graveyard 
That surrounds me.

Memories of Us

music blaring through the radio
dancing in the passenger seat
a smile plastered on my face
my lips singing with the words on the radio
most likely way off key
just a feeling everything is right
driving by the moon light
got a rhythm in my body
flooding through my vains
dancing to the beat of my heart
thats beating along with the radio
Country song after country song
providing the perfect sound track
to our moon light car ride
me and you together
it couldn't feel more right
makes me just want to stop the car
and dance together under the starlit moon light
pull you in tight and just pause this moment in time
the perfect moment a perfect memory 
to file away in the back of my mind
just another memories of us.

Imposter

I'm standing in the place
Of a girl who has been replaced.
We are both the same
She and i.
But the person who I used to be...
Well iv changed drastically.
I stand in the place of who I was,
Changed in more ways than one.
I try to remember the other me
Always happy...giggling...
Then life stepped in
And ruined it all.
It broke the happy me,
Into the girl you all see.
Now I’m distant.
Locked inside
Most of the time I’m even afraid
To cry!
Yea I’m happy sometimes,
There’s the good and the bad.
But sometimes I wish I could just go back
Don’t we all?
Back before life broke me.
But now I’m slightly distant
Not always happy,
Not always sad,
Just me and who I am today.
I embrace who I am
Even if iv changed.
Because who I am is me
Not quite normal,
A bit from crazy.
Just somewhere in between
So yea this is me the impostor.

Volenteer Daddy

Volunteer daddy
army of one
strong when it calls for it
but also pillow soft
your everything I should have had
and everything I could ever want
Volunteer daddy 
I dont know how you do it
many wouldn't even try
I gave you my heart when I was only five
you held out you arms so wide 
and let me in your loving heart
I know I haven't been easy
life with me is hard
your my volunteer daddy
and im your volunteer daughter
you support me when im weak
and stand by me when im strong
you have been there for every nightmare
every scrap and break iv had
you catch me when I fall 
and mend me when im broken
everytime someone says the words 
daddy dad or father
your the first and only thing to enter my mind
I couldn't ask for another daddy
your my father and I will always be your daughter
