There is always one star that shines more bright than the others, the first one you catch a glimpse of in the night sky. The one you cannot help but to stare at because it's beauty is more radiant than any other star in the sky. To you this one star shines more than the rest. You are drawn to this star because of its beauty. This star is does not shine as bright in other people's eyes but in yours, the star is perfect. In your world there would only be this one star, it would be the only star you would need. If you could stare at this one star the rest of your life you would be happy, because when you look at it, you know this star does in fact shine the brightest. You know this star is the best, you know this star is the one. To me, this star is her.

The Brightest Star
I can't draw And I can't sing I can't do a lot of things I have to take breaks When I run Because I pollute My sorry lungs I cannot put words To my feelings sometimes So I talk in choppy sentences And send you late night rhymes I can't get that one strand of hair To lie flat on my head And sometimes I forget I'm alive Convinced that I'm dead I'm really not good At getting out of bed I can't do a lot of things Other people can

I Can't Even
I may have held the gun But I didn't pull the trigger I may have tied the rope But I didn't pull it tighter I may have grasped the knife But I didn't slice my flesh I may have wanted to die But it was you who did the killing

I have mass *Too much of it No matter how little I eat* And I take up space *I don't mean to be a burden But I am And I'm sorry* And since the definition of matter is *Anything that has mass And takes up space* I suppose I "matter"

I "Matter"
God made me loving So I would love everyone God made me broken So I could make sure I never break someone else God made me hurt So I could heal others God made me anxious So I could learn to trust God made me motherly For those who don't have one God made me uncoordinated So I would know that balance Is not always physical God made me compassionate So I would know his love for us God made me faithful So I would know what it's like to be betrayed God made me insecure So I could tell others that no one is perfect God made me human Flawed Broken Anxious And uncoordinated that I am So He could prove to me That He is stronger than my ups And Downs.

God Made Me...
I need you to save me from myself, I feel like I'm drowning in the night. I'm struggling to reach the surface, I'm struggling to see the light as I sink further down in the depths of my own mind. My heart slows down as I reach the bottom, without you I am nothing. Just another body, numb and searching for a quick escape.

Help
I want to run to you, I want you to hold me and tell me it will be okay. When I am in your arms I can escape the pain and the hurt of the world. When I am being held by you the darkness in my life fades away and I can see light again. Since you have been gone, all I see is the darkness creeping back. I need you to save me from the demons that hide in the overwhelming darkness.

Save me
Whenever I think about you, I can't breath. Whenever someone says your name, a little ball of pain shows up in my stomach. Whenever I see your face, I die a little inside. It hurts to see you happy without me. Whenever I hear your voice, I just want to run to you and have you hold me.

Whenever
Mother oh mother, When may I go? Mother oh mother, I'm locked all alone Mother oh mother, Why won't you unlock me? Mother oh mother, I'm dying inside Mother oh mother, When can I be free? Mother oh mother, You aren't my mother Mother oh mother, You're the witch in the tower Witch oh witch Why keep me here? Witch oh witch, Who are you really? Witch oh witch, I just realized-- You're me Me oh me, Why can't I be free?

Rapunzel
The pain, the anger, the guilt, the crying, the emptiness, and the loneliness doesn't ever go away. The memories will always be stuck in my head. So I wrap the rope just a little tighter every time I remember and then I kick the chair over, close my eyes and forget everything for a split second, because I'd rather die from a rope around my neck than from my pain and misery.
