Coveting the day I can crawl out of my skin To be another person is what I crave within Maybe a movie star or a famous designer Nothing in this world could be any finer People say everyone has their own special talent But I can't seem to find mine, which has me off balance Constantly growing tiresome of life's endless games My motivation for growth has gone up in flames Back and forth I pace trying to find my destination But with each step I take there's a growing hesitation What if this is just another failed attempt I know life is filled with struggles, but to what extent? It seems, you would think, education would get you ahead But why am I the one stuck with nothing but dread? Student loans growing and no career in sight How do I find my way out of this never-ending plight? What do I do now? How do I proceed? How can I grow? How do I succeed? I wish there was a formula made just for success Maybe I can test it and relieve myself from this distress Or maybe a formula that can cure me of being me I ask myself all the time "Am I even able to succeed?" The solution it seems, remains to be unseen.

Diary of a College Girl
Mirror, mirror on the wall How do I face up to all that went wrong? When I look in that reflection I don't like what I see Nothing but blackness and emptiness stares back at me What am I worth, if I'm worth anything at all? Who can I look to, who can I call? I posses no strength left in me to continue on with this fight My life is a curse saturated with nothing but failure and strife Constantly fighting and struggling every day To find where I belong and to find my own way Mirror, mirror on the wall, is there a place in the world for me? If so, how do I find it to set me free It seems as though I have no talents to merely impress It seems that what I fear most is indeed a reality It seems failure is certainly in my destiny, It seems, mirror, mirror, I'm just immune to success, for I can't find my way out of this life long game of chess

Invisible Reflection
Abound with darkness and overwhelming despair Demons are conquering this battlefield in a war unfair Silently suffering my inevitable defeat, Attempting to reach God but He's predicatably out of reach I cry out to Him to rid me of these struggles Solemnly I plead to be released of these troubles, But again to my dismay I'm left standing alone To fight this journey and continue on this unsettling road Defeated by darkness in a world gone array, I'm fighting for answers as to why I should stay Lost and confused and filled with no hope for change My soul caves in to the darkness that it craves It is no longer a question of what must be done Wiping away tears I reach for my gun My heart's beating louder with each bullet I load It's time to pull the trigger and release my soul My final thoughts rush and fill up my mind What happens after death is an answer I can't seem to find Slowly pulling the trigger, I take one last breath And suddenly I'm released unto my untimely death Where my soul has wandered no one quite seems to know, as I travel alone in a world unknown
