17/F I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. - Maya Angelou
Trust This treasure is something that makes or breaks everything People lock theirs away like a prison mate Some let their flow like the sea Some treats there's like a new lion to the pack This treasure is a rope bridge When taken for granted Gasoline is poured and lit in flames Now the ashes become the shadow of what it used to be Now i make sure my bridges is flammable Cause people love pouring gasoline On the statue of liberty between us This treasure is just a game of roulette A game show of people wearing costumes Never knowing who to choose This treasure is Sunshine on cloudy days when the oak trees give you love This treasure is The statue of liberty betweens two mimes learning how to speak This is treasure

Trust
On the nights when there’s no stars The moon is hidden in plain sight The sky is dark as the mask people wear Dark skies A blank canvas waiting to be turn into something bright Dark skies Is a home to the stars that are trying to find the light from within Dark skies Feed into your soul cause we are one with the world Why does it have to be light when it provides so much light Dark skies Isn’t so dark when it tomorrow blue skies Shine so bright

Dark Skies
Look at me what do you see Do you see a tomboy wannabe Or do you see a girl who too nice to be Honestly when you look at me I don’t care what you see cause you ain't me See when I look in the mirror I see a girl who smiles when things are tough. I see a girl who makes others laugh when she can’t herself. What do you see now See you so quick to judge me by My looks, my walk, my talk But I’ll be so nice to just push aside Cause time flies too quickly to waste See if I tell you my story of what I’ve been through you probably would be shocked Of how I’m standing before you See if it wasn’t easy to get where I am now I could’ve pulled that trigger Or used that knife but I choose to Stand before you so you can hear this and see me Not to just see me But see me I want you to look hard in my eyes Tell me what you see.

Don’t Judge Me
SAVE ME For these thoughts are like neverending firecrackers on the 4th of July My mind is like going through never ending doors With different pains hidden in the dark SAVE ME No don't save me for you too might catch this contagious disease And see that life is not what it seems to be In this carousel life of mines SAVE ME For these words come as a shock as it falls from lips For you don't see danger when your eyes fall upon me For my hands play the harp gently and all the right strings For my feet tread upon the earth as it was feathers For my smile is always just right SAVE ME \for the night has become my best friend Maybe the tune of the wave will revive the light lost in me Igniting a flame that got lost in ancient times Just please, save me

Save Me
The girl in the mirror She stare at me with saddest eyes anyone has ever seen She has so many cracks to be filled Her heart is hanging by a thread So broken and bruised The girl in the mirror Is disgusted by what she sees The flabs, the bulky stomach She wants to look like the magazine She wants to have the face of beauty that is too .? real to be She desires to have girls envy She desires guys to thirst for her love The girl in the mirror Wants to be free She wants to let her wings fly and never stop She wants to run and never turn back The girl in the mirror She has cuts that run too deep She has deadly thoughts that are too viscous to see She became something she tried not to be She is fighting a battle that will dictate her life The girl in the mirror She pulled the trigger waiting for the bullet to impact She slits her wrist ready for the blood to overflow She hangs herself waiting for the air to be choked out of her She waits till she gets the signal to press play Pow! The girl in the mirror Is dead no longer to be seen For I no longer see her only the wall behind me She pressed play Now she doesn’t exist Now there's just an empty mirror That stares back at me.

The girl in the mirror
The seed that was ever so small and tough Nothing could ever break its shell or make it go bust It’s been planted in soil that was supposed to be fertile But was never told it was poisoned It grew and grew Losing its protective layer along the way Becoming more fragile every day Losing a piece of something that was supposed to stay She's a flower they say And now it's become fully grown The color of the beauty of petals so long The stem sway in the tiniest bit of wind The fragrance that keeps you coming for more It's delicate You can destroy with one soft touch She's a flower they say They saw potential and it scared them They tore off her petals And now she hides in the shell Nowhere to be found insight But she rebuilding herself but they thought she died that night She broke out her shell with pride and a smile so bright When they woke up they were startled by the sight She's a flower that won't back down without a fight
