Seventeen's too young, To be looking at two pink lines Yesterday was college, cars, and boys Today is crushed dreams, tears, and diapers She is faced with a decision Pro Life or Pro Choice Life for me she chooses Only at the expense of her dreams

Seventeen
You took a permanent marker to my heart, Scribbled your name like I was property. You wrote lines in my mind, Professing your fears and dreams. Words so black and bold, Reminding me of all my beauty. You underlined everything I'm afraid of, And blacked out all my sad memories. You quoted my thoughts on love and life, Highlighting your favorite parts. You circled all my deepest opinions, To bookmark them for a later date. You left bullet points full of reasons, Why you take my breath away. You numbered my favorite words of wisdom Just so you would always remember them. You took a permanent marker to my heart, And there in bold black ink, forever left your mark.

Permanent Marker
I want to believe in fairy tales I want to believe in glass slippers And happily ever after's I want to believe in prince charming's And the slaying of dragons I want to believe in magic And all that comes with it I want to believe evil queens And poison red apples I want to believe in fairy god mothers And true loves first kiss I want to believe in everything Dreams are made of...

I Want to Believe
I could look you in the eyes And tell you everything my heart feels I could trace the lines on your face And tell you everything they say I could lace my fingers with yours And feel every crease of heart ache I could touch my lips to yours And feel every butterfly I could tear down my walls And open every piece of my heart or I could not say a word And just walk away Because it's easier that way

It's Easier That Way...
It was your mind that captivated me Followed by your tantalizing body Your sweet way of hypnotizing speech Imagery of your hands enticing reach Touching the depths of all my darkest secrets Wrapping me with your arms like a blanket Giving me just enough to always want more You see into my soul like an open door I dream of your beautiful lips Hoping they will grace me with a kiss Everything I want, but nothing that I need One word can drop me to my knees I wish you were a moment I could suspend We’re running in circles and back again Your beautiful spirit is taking its toll We will always be two halves of a whole

Halves of a Whole
It’s like looking in a mirror Looking at you An image of a soul A little bruised and slightly broken Masking the shambled past With lines to a song, cigarette smoke And the Rebel Yell Lingering on your breath If you drink enough your numb If you cant feel anything Then nothing hurts Those scares on your knees and hands They are the failed attempts of the world To push you down But determinism flows freely through you Proving everyone wrong who gets in your way A rough tough and wild outside With a  soft personal inside Yes this image terrifies me Yes this image makes me want to run It makes me want to run to everywhere you are Because this soul image is my insatiable desire

Insatiable Desire
She dances and spins To the music she feels Surrounded by the freedom To do as she pleases She dances and spins To the beat of a heart Surrendering in the dark Slowly pulling her in She dances and spins To the voice of a lover Quickly taking her to places She never thought she’d go She dances and spins To the melody of life Writing the pages Of her very own story

She Dances
Sit on the porch Or play in the rain Sit on the sidelines Or get in the game Watch the performance Or dance on the stage Swim with the sharks Or watch from the cage Sing along to every song Or just listen to the beat Learn how to fly or Stay grounded on both feet Whatever you choose You only get one life So live it for you

Live It
I’m done, throwing in the towel The whole world is out to get me Why can’t things just be easy? I feel like I’m caged Behind work, attendance, and grades Suffocatingly overwhelmed, Pushed, broken, and bound To the degree I need They say, to succeed But should any degree, Be worth my sanity

Sanity
11:30 am sharpe Somehow I knew you’d be late Still buzzed from last nights Drinking yourself to sleep The pain that you hide Glows in the blue of your eyes At a distance you stay Keeping me arm’s length away All I want is to love you To take away your hurt But you are a forever leaver Never to be saved…
