Hello-my-name-is-
A pittering at my window invites play. It teases, for I am captive. What it knows not is that I am more free than I am ever before and ever after. Every drop a hair raising shock to my skin Yet untouched, The pittering continues, ever persistent. Silence and solitude a faraway thought.

Restless Winds Lament When Rain is Imminent
So very proud of the you I have made Bundled up sweetly in your nest A strong child needs no aid Till nightfall, lost and forgotten in play Another day cannot come before rest So very proud of the you I have made For me a warmth that does not fade For you, it is for the best A strong child needs no aid The sun, carry over it's warmth as it may Until then, another blanket I suggest So very proud of the you I have made Nothing I can do, I'm afraid legs curled up to your chest A strong child needs no aid Through winter's night you'll have laid A tumultuous state of unrest So very proud of the you that I made A strong child needs no aid

A Strong Child Needs no Aid
Remember when I told you I wanted to marry someone just like you? How young and naive I was then You were my idol and someone whom I trusted so deeply Everything that was cruel and unkind stared me straight in the eyes but still I couldn't see it I was blinded by trust and the hope that the person I loved would be there tomorrow even if he wasn't here today I adopted your philosophies and your interests in a desperate attempt to be seen and favored Your word and your opinion had all the power in the world to shape who I was and how I would think But I'm not your favorite anymore, am I? No one is I'm no longer useful now that I have gained the ability to think for myself My interests were never something you cared about as long as they didn't benefit you The only thing that matters to you is drowning your shame until the person I love is unrecognizable Marry someone like you? I don't even want to be like you.

The Golden Child
Running around the still night I can barely believe it’s true Nothing could feel more right Than being here with you I can barely believe it’s true Nothing seemed more impossible Than being here with you It’s nothing short of phenomenal Nothing seemed more impossible Being in such close proximity It’s nothing short of phenomenal Surely this is serendipity Being in such close proximity Nothing could feel more right Surely this is serendipity Running around the still night

For Alex
I want to tell him But he only makes me feel like the bad guy When I bring it up I'm scared to tell him my feelings But I need to Do I even have the right? I know that I'm right Only I can tell him I want to say it too Because I'm the only one who hasn't, this guy I don't care if I hurt our relationship, because my feelings, they're important too. I should just hurry up. I don't want this to blow up My feelings are so much easier to write I wonder if he even cares about my feelings When I cry, I can't even be comforted by him Because he's the reason I cry, this guy I wonder if he cries too. Just when I think I'm at my last straw, I find two When he's drunk I can tell him to shut up I can be rude or honest with the guy But that's only because he always forgets, right? I love him That's why I don't want to hurt his feelings. He's hurt everyone's feelings I wonder when he comes to If he realizes that it's not just him That he's hurting and messing up I wonder if he cares what is right I wonder if he sees that he's no longer my hero, but the bad guy. I don't want to hurt my relationship with this guy But he hurt it first by disregarding my feelings "So sorry" "So sorry" "So sorry" like that's ******* right I want to hurry up and grow up so I can leave too Even after all this I still crave his approval and it's ****** up Maybe I can be more honest when I'm not depending on him. I really wish I could tell him I'm too much of a coward to speak up I'm too afraid that he won't listen like I want him to.

Once upon a time there was a girl who loved to bathe. She would clean herself numerous times a day. When asked why she was so obsessed with being clean, she would simply answer "because it makes me feel light." The girl would often climb on to her roof and feel the wind tug at her and lure her towards the edge, but she was never afraid of falling. The girl loved the wind... No, she envied it. Every scent the wind brought with it entertained her curious mind, as did every cool breeze and gentle gust. The wind is free to travel wherever it pleased, it could not be touched yet it could touch whatever it wished to. Such a romantic life the wind leads. Whenever the girl felt light, she felt as though she was closer to being taken by the wind, swept away to anywhere and nowhere. But as time went on the girl fell ill, and gradually felt a heaviness that no amount of bathing could wash away until she was weighed down, confined to her bed. The girl knew she had little time left on the earth, and spent her days listening for the wind until one night she felt as though it beckoned to her. With every ounce of strength the girl had left, she hauled her frail body out on to the roof and once again felt the weight lifting magic of her wind. It pulled her towards the edge but the girl no longer resisted, she had neither the strength nor the will. As the girl's feet lost their ground, she broke into a million ribbon like pieces that floated away and disappeared into the wind, leaving only a limp, lifeless body on the ground below.

Growing up can mean that the things you love are still there, but one day that love dies for no particular reason at all. Your favorite foods no longer taste good, despite tasting the same. A hug is no longer warm, but rather unfulfilling. Rides are not thrilling, and love stories, no longer chilling.

Jaded Maturity
When it rains it pours When she cries she weeps My whole world's caving in 'Cause she can't get to sleep My darling, why didn't you listen Why did you stay with him Even though I love you way more But now he's been replaced By the drugs locked in your safe You can't stand to see his face Anymore

Anymore
I do not wipe away my tears fearing what I will see when my vision clears Whether they're warm or cold I won't deny the meaning they hold As the rock I feel I can't reveal that I too am weak So I find comfort in the little hugs on my cheeks In times when I choke my cries and hide my frowns My tears are always around
