I wish
For one day
That when I woke up
And looked in the mirror
As I caught a glimpse of myself
I could truly believe
I was pretty
Everyday
I wish

When you let someone in, they can let you down.
And when you get let down, you fall.
You fall hard and it hurts.
It hurts to feel that you were betrayed.
It hurts to know that someone you had trusted only told you lies.
It hurts to realize that you were stupid.
You opened yourself up, took down your walls for someone.
Someone you thought would be there for you.
But it turns out that they weren't.
So you fell.
And it hurt.
And no one is there to help you get back up.
Except you.
Sometimes you is all you have.
And sometimes you have to be enough.

Headlines filled with heartbreaking news,
Full of fear from seeing all there is to lose.
Innocent people losing their lives every day,
Mind becoming numb, running out of prayers to say.
Leaders of our country not protecting its people,
Stop turning a blind eye to the source of all this evil.
Caring more about guns than the safety of loved ones,
Sick of witnessing what this country has become.
Policies are rejected, the crisis is neglected,
Our right to live remains vastly unprotected.
An issue much bigger than opposing political sides,
The time is now, time to fight for our lives.

I keep expecting something different,
Keep hoping to see a change.
I'm searching for the warmth of sun,
But all I feel is bitter rain.

I see the world as black and white,
Everything has its place.
But when I am in your presence,
My vision turns to gray.
My perceptions - off,
My morals - lost,
My heart, a blur of emotion.
My mind, like a deep chasm, wide open,
Tumultuous and raging like a stormy ocean.
And you cause all this commotion.

Cover up your secrets and insecurities
Keep yourself hidden from reality
Conceal your vulnerability from the world outside
Draw your curtains closed, keep everything inside

My heart starts beating fast
I keep wishing the moment would last
Seconds, minutes, hours?
I guess they all pass
When I see you.
I can't even look at you
My eyes dart around the room
Checking if anyone else can see
What your meer presence does to me.

It had been a while
Since I had seen your face
And every memory started to race
Back into my brain
They flowed on and on
Like flawless notes sung in a song.
For some reason
I could not tell you
What I needed to
How you made me feel
How everything felt so real.
But for now I walk away
And let the memories stay.

Awakened early in the morning
By the sounds of cheerful screams
Wake up, it's Christmas
Let's go to the Christmas tree!
Presents layed out
In a cheerful array
What joy they bring the children
On this Christmas day
Ribbons, bows and paper
Go flying in the air
As children open presents without a worry or a care
A day with family is spent
Reminiscing together over food
Laughing, smiling and feeling joy
But the day is ending soon
A sort of post-Christmas sadness
Looms in the air
As you realize this time is over
You can't help but stare
Stare at this picture perfect moment
Of your family together as one
Playing games and talking
Smiling and having fun
But what if this all changes
In the years or months to come
And your Christmas in the future
Isn't so much fun
What if you can't get together
With all of your family?
Will this scene that you see right now,
Be the scene you will always see?
For things change in an instant
And you really never know,
Will Christmas in the future,
Have this same happy glow?

She carries
The weight of her world
Upon her small shoulders
Trying to be strong and brave
When really she's dying
On the inside,
Her heart is ready to cave
The pressure
She feels
Everyday
She tries to escape it
If only she could find a way
But she is stuck
Keeping the world from crumbling down
But it crumbles anyway
She cries out for help
But no one comes around
