Wish Away My Day

I'm just a girl I can't be more
I don't have fans swinging through my door
I don't have much my family's poor
My reputation sucks and my life's a bore
Everyday I watch them score 
They're on the news or
Become worldwide cuz there education is sure
I'm only a kid in the downpour 
Standing still just waiting for a cure
It's never gonna come my minds a war


So I'm not famous
What can I say 
I'm not like them
But I'll wish away my day
So I'm not perfect 
I'm just me
Exactly who I want to be 

I'm not special that's plain to see
Just an old country girl from Tennessee 
Nobody knows me I'm not on tv
There's a lock and success and I don't have the key
Just a girl who's name is Marie 
Not a person who has there own cd
Not a star everyone can agree
It's towering above me like a tree
Not even smart, without a degree
Popularity doesn't seem to be my cup of Tea


Gems in the sky
That's what we are 
Please don't like lie
We won't say goodbye 
Cuz we all shine bright 
It's all in our sight 
If we open out eyes
And ignore the lies 
And nobody dies
We've all grown wise
It's in your eyes 
That we're all gems in the sky

So I'm not famous
What can I say
I'm not like them
But I don't have to wish away my day
So I'm not perfect
I'm just me
Exactly who god
Meant me to be

Suicide Attempt

The collors go by
Flashing yellow, red and green
I suck in my breath
As I watch his death
It all happens so quickly 
In the middle of the highway
And it was seen
By me
I quickly pulled over 
For the guy on the motercycle
Just got hit by a rover
Truck
I cover my mouth
And jump to help
Sirens come from the south
And I just stand there 
Not sure of what to do
How to save a life
I just knew
It would be to late
Traffic piles up behind me
And I wish I didn't have to see
The sight before me
The broken body on the ground 
No longer making a sound
I start to cry, tears streaming down my face 
The EMT comes by, quickening there pace 
But it's too late, too late 
It must have been fate
Only I saw what happened it the dark
A suicide attempt
And it hit the mark

Night

By death

?my job is to take them
????take there dreams 
take everything they know,
which is life
??they don't know death
?????which is why i have to show them
?????I'll make them remember it
????bit by bit
?????I'll take them when they lay, when they stand, and when they sit 
ill take there light 
All there might 
all there sight 
and give them disaster 
let them know pain 
all the blame 
its all the same 
theyll hear the screams
as I take there loved ones
by the tons
???I'll enjoy it
??????while they reap it 
and for the ones that remain?
ill take them, too.
they won't know what to do
??????it'll be like they just got hit by
death

Little Things

Surrounded in our negativity 
Swallowed up in our captivity 
Maybe it's the loss of activity 
We don't see reality 
We react way to aggressively
Without any creativity 
We no longer see our objectivity 
We won't change out perceptivity 

Maybe of we open our eyes
And give other things a chance 
But we go past them without a second glance 
We're blind to see except want we want to see
We don't fully know who to be 
Everyone needs love to have pride 
But some people don't see what's already there 
We just toss it back to the side 
We don't see the little things
Instead concentrate on what we're missing 
Don't see what truly matters 
Blinded by our own desires 
The answer is right in front of you 
But you just hear the dissing 
All the names,  shouts and hissing 
Will it ever change 
Maybe if you do something 
Your life will re-arrange 
You don't need to change
Your perfect how you are
Through all the mistakes,  your a shining star 
You have the power to change how you act 
Negativity is what's holding you back
It's want making you crack
It's just the confidence you lack
Confidence to take a step forward
And step out of the hole 
Just start climbing
Climb up the pole
At the top is a prize 
If you kept going you'll realize 
That you didn't give up for a reason 
Not now, not ever, not a another season
Because people are waiting 
Seeing you break 
They've seen your fall
Now they can watch you rise 
If only we
We no longer surrounded on our negativity 
Or swallowed up in our captivity 
If we do more activity 
And we see reality 
We don't react aggressively 
We have more creativity 
We change our prospectivity

Something in our minds will ring 
We finally see the things

In the Dark

It's there, it's somewhere,  out in the darkness watching me 
Surrounding everything, watching with there yellow eyes
Out to kill me,  to torture me till I'm black and blue
To put burning hot coals on my body as I scream 
In pain and terror and it's comming,comming for me 
You need to run, please! There is no goodbyes it's the end 
It's not human it's a monster it won't let you go
I hear it, it's calling my name, they all sound the same 
I don't want to play this game but there right behind me
Now there's no way out dont matter if you scream or shout
I feel there fingers on my back digging in, it hurts 
There rotten breath on my neck, teeth getting ever close
There's no way back, the monster in the dark hit its mark

In the dark

Wish

Wish
I had a wish
That everything would change
That everything would be
Rearranged 
I want something new 
I know it has to do with you 
I just want my wish to 
Come true 
I looked out the window
Covered in snow
To find my star
Wrapped in a bow
I said my words
Breath frosting over 
And prayed to the lords
Who gave me a clover
It floated down
So silently 
And landed on top of my nightgown 
I sipped my tea
Mouth in a smile 
Because I could see
That I did beguile 
It would go without a fee
I cought the lucky star
I saw from afar 
That from my child eyes
Looked like a fish
I smiled, and whispered a 'hi'
And said my final wish

Glass

almost wish everything was made of glass
More delicate, more special
So id be afraid of breaking it
Id cut out some of the sass
Im wouldn't toss it round like trash 
Because I so easily tend
To break a friend
And not lend
A hand
Friendship drifts through my fingers like sand
When I finally see land it's short to go
Makes me feel so low
For breaking a friend

I regret so much
But I still feel your gentle touch
Reminding me 
That everything will be okay
I can still here you say
That you love me
After all I've done
That I didn't take away your sun
I'm reminded of all the fun
We used to have
It can be like that again
If only if remember
What happened last December
That your made of glass
