Choices

Every day I wake up
I think about dying.
I think about ending it all;
my past, my future, my life.
I think about eating a bullet
or slitting my wrists.
I mean, why should I live?
What's the point?
Everyday I ask myself those questions
and I always seem to find an answer.

Trouble.
What is it?
Is it what you make,
is it what you are,
or is it what people perceive you to be?
Why do we judge each other?
Why can't we all just be left alone?

Why do I have to be who people want me to be?
Why can't I just be who I am?
I might be wrong, but let me find that out.
Let me make my own choices;
and my own mistakes.

Cold!

I feel trapped.
Trapped inside a maze filled with cold faces.
They stare at me.
It's like I'm an alien.
They'll never understand me.
Why did this happen?
What did I do?
Where did I go wrong?
Why can't they hear my song?
It's so sad and long,
but they can't hear.
They somehow close their ears.
Mom, Dad I'm still here.
It's just me, don't you see?
I have feelings just like you.
Though you don't believe it,
I sincerely do.
I need you to be here,
why don't you care?
Mom, Dad I still love you.

Fly or Fall?

What are you supposed to do
when your heart belongs to two?
How am I expected to know
down which path my life should go?

Should I shy from his affection
to one who, in all else, is perfection?
Do I climb the tallest mountain
just to see the scene,
or do I stay closer to the ground
whose beauty is safe and serene?

I think its better to climb the mountain,
but who will catch me when I fall?
Will I burn all of my bridges
when I make this final call?

Will I make one big mistake
when I choose to end it all?
How will I know if I don’t take this chance?
Maybe the road ahead leads to true romance.

The only way to see
is to make a quick phone call.
Then we'll see what happens,
will I fly or will I fall?!

I

I feel like I'm standing in the dark
reaching out for someone's heart.
I don't really care whose body it's in,
as long as it helps my heart to mend.
I'm not yet sure of what I want
but I know exactly what I don't.
I don't want a man with a wedding ring
and I don't want someone who's a casual fling.
I am not yet ready to settle down
but I want someone who will stay around.
I need someone who can handle my past.
Accept all of me if you want it to last.
When it comes to love it's all very strange
and I don't know if that will ever change.
If you say you'll never get down on one knee
just walk away and let me be.
One day I'll be ready to start a new life.
Possibly find love and become a wife.
I am not ready for all that today
but I don't need anyone who's not headed that way.

I Am, I Can't, I Refuse, I Will

I am so fu***ng tired of the life that I live
I am so fu***ng tired of not getting what I give
I am so fu***ng tired of the place I reside
And I am so fu***ng tired of losing my pride

I can't handle seeing my kid go through all this pain
I can't watch her tears that are falling like rain
I can't understand how they can be so cold
And I can't just step back and let this unfold

I refuse to be lowered by a child half my age
I refuse to be tortured inside of this cage
I refuse to let this rage reside in my heart
But I refuse to let go and it tears me apart

I will show my daughter how to survive in spite of oppression
I will teach her the strength you gain from reflection
I will lead by example in this fight for individuality
And I will help her properly escape this reality

I Know

I know how to laugh
and I know how to cry.
I know how to fall in love
and all the reasons why.

I know how to listen
and I know how to talk.
I know how to cover my ears
and when it's time to take a walk.

I know how to stand and fight.
I know I cannot win them all.
I know when to sound retreat
and how to take a fall.

I know it's written in the stars
that love is meant for two.
I know that what I feel is love
and what I feel is all for you.

I Want To Know

I want to know the you
that no one else can know.
I want to the you
that you are scared to show.

I want to know your fantasy,
what buttons should I touch?
I want to know what you think of me.
I want to know so much.

I want to know how I can help,
when your under lots of stress.
I want to know what spot on you
just needs to be caressed.

I want to know if that same spot
was rubbed or licked or kissed,
would make you think of what you have
or what you chose to miss.

I want to know what makes you happy
and what makes you blue.
I want to know your hopes and dreams
and if there's a chance for me and you.

I Need You To...

I need you to stop counting my laughs.
I need you to stop judging my paths.
I need you to not make me feel like a toy.
I need you to act less like a boy.
I need you to stop believing everything you hear.
I need you to stop making me feel fear.
I need you to think of my emotional pains.
I need you to heal the piece of my heart that remains.
I need you to stop jumping to conclusions.
I need you to support most of my delusions.
I need you to not make me feel worse than I do.
I need you to appreciate all I've done for you.
I need you to not promise things you won't keep.
I need you to stop proving to me I am weak.
I need you to treat me like my pain is your own.
I need you to sometimes just leave me alone.
I need you to show me I don't have to be strong.
I need you to prove my fears about you are wrong.
I need you to stop accusing me of being mad.
I need you to stop scaring me when I'm sad.
I need you to be proud to just lay beside me.
I need you to love me, no matter how angry I may be.
I need you to bite your tongue till it bleeds.
I need you to be more understanding of my needs.
I need you to stop making me feel like I'm failing.
I need you to do things that send my heart sailing.
I need you to help me the way I help you.
These are just some of the things you could do.

It Hurts..

I thought our love was meant to be
and we'd never be apart,
but the night you said those words to me
you sent a bullet through my heart.
I'm trying to fight these doubts I feel
whenever you are near,
but how can I win this "battle of love"
when my side is filled with fear.
I don't know how else to explain all this,
so here I am writing to you.
Please help heal this broken heart
that has been ripped in two.

My Life

My thoughts, my words, my actions
are all mine.
You can't take them away.
You can't have them.
The things going on in my head
are not for you to know.
These are my goals, achievements,
mistakes and problems.
Leave them alone.

Psychology doesn't work on a psychologist.
You try to find my demons
but you can't even get rid of your own.
Don't waste your time.
I won't let you understand me.
I don't want help,
I want isolation and seclusion.

Life is a literal hell
but we all have to face it.
There will always be demons.
We all have some kind of demon.
Get rid of yours
before you try to heal mine.

Just Me

Why cant you understand?
I am who I am and no one else.
I could never be who you want me to be.
I could never be you.
I know that you are trying to help,
but all you're doing is hurting me.
I'm not a little girl anymore.
I make my own decisions,
people learn from mistakes.
You can't make me someone else.
You are great parents, but I need to be me.
You won't always be there for me
and I know that is why you try,
but I need space of my own.
Please, just let me be me
not who you want me to be.

My Prayer

God, please take this unbearable pain away
Please put your arms around me every day
God give me joy and comfort within myself
So that I won't ask it from anyone else
Please give me the strength to be everyone's stone
Without falling apart from stress of my own
and God help me feel nothing when people attack
Yet compassion for others let me never lack
I need you to help me be more like you
If your work here on earth is what I am to do
You place people in my life knowing we both need to learn
But you forget to arm me for the troubles and turns

Then & Now

I used to love the feeling
of hot sun upon my face.
I used to love to go walking
to my special place.
I used to love to drive around
and feel the wind blow through my hair.
I used to love the feeling I got
whenever you were near.

Now there is no sun,
dark clouds are in its place.
Now nowhere is special to me
and I have only memories to fill its space.
Now my car is with you
and I am stuck at home.
Now it seems you left me
and I'm standing here all alone.

Things Do Change

As the wind blows on
the time flies by.
Things do change
and friendships die.
Learning from mistakes
we continue to grow.
Now facing the truth
we try to let go
Living without the friend
and with the shame,
we try to forget
it won't be the same.
But the pain remains
and the tears fall forth.
Now moving on
for all it's worht.
From losing a friend
we've gained in return
things do change,
and from that we learn.

What I Thought Was Best

Not blood of their blood
nor a bone like theirs.
Not the same color eyes
or the same type of hairs.

You came from my body,
the same DNA,
but to promise the best
I gave you away.

Not sure of the future,
not proud of the past.
I made a decision
that will forever last.

I didn't give up
or care any less,
I just gave you both
what I thought would be best.

I firmly believe
if I'd kept you with me
neither you or Katelynn
could ever be happy.

This way you both
get the love that you need,
and neither will suffer;
now you both will succeed.

Why? How? What?

Why do I sit here waiting
after all those things you said?
Why do I have joyous thoughts about you
bouncing around in my head?

Why did I start to miss you
after you left me here alone?
Why did I get so jumpy
when you called me on the phone?

How do you always manage
to hurt me the way you do?
How do you make me feel
like I can't go on without you?

How do you know I'll come
and find you when you leave?
How do you know the things to say
that make me forgive you with ease?

What are you going to do
when you end up hitting me?
What about the stress you cause
and how it hurts the baby?

What can we do together
to change how we always end?
What about starting over,
let's try being friends.

The Things That I Can't Say

I don't know how long this will last
or even if its for real,
but I wanted to let you know
exactly how I feel.

I'm happy when you're here with me,
and I miss you when you're not.
You make me feel like you care for me,
and that's a feeling I had forgot.

I'm sorry I don't like to cuddle
and sometimes I am rough,
but there's a scar across my heart
that causes fear and make me tough.

They say if you play with fir
eventually you'll get burned.
I've got the scars to prove it,
so away from love I've turned.

Someday my wall will break
and the scar will fade away.
I don't know when it will happen,
but I hope you're there that day.

You say some scary things
that I'm not really ready to hear,
and when you say "I love you"
I'm not sure you are sincere.

I'll open up my heart to you
when I feel like it's okay.
I want you to know I do like you...
it's just hard for me to say.
