I use to be good at this I swear!
I think you got lost Are you in that forest That you call a mind? Yelling out for me? I'm running in circles it seems I'm screaming your name Begging to find you again Can you hear me? Are you lost in the forest you call a mind? Or am I lost?

Forest Fire
I am young But my ears have already Craved the sweet sound of "I do" I am young But my ears already Have yearned For the plaintive wails Of a baby wanting mommy I am young But I have been dreaming Of my future Since I was ten years old I am young And I may be foolish to believe But no one will take my dreams away from me.

I Am Young
Another part of my life has passed And the inner me breaks free I move onto the next step And nothing will hold me back Not anymore.

The Graduate
Why were your responsibilities Tossed carelessly at me Why are so many Responsibilities Thrown carelessly Into the abyss As if they don't matter I was thrown But my mother caught me My cousin was thrown And my mom and I caught him In today's society So many are tossed And there isn't always someone to catch I know after one unplanned child That is not my child at all I am tired I am mother And daughter And not mother all at once I am not allowed to dictate or correct Just soothe Just obey I am the carelessly thrown Attempting to salvage a fellow Who like me Was thrown so carelessly.

Carelessly Thrown
If he carries out a wrong deed It's on me If you mess up It's on me The girl who feels slave Chained up in that house Held down by the blaming Your rules Your dictation So hard to break free Want to feel liberty I want it to bathe over me I no longer want to suffer No longer want to be imprisoned The shell I live in is cracked And one day I swear for all I've suffered I will pay you back.

Payback
Every darkness in me Has been vanquished But the dark memories lurk Memories of **** after **** Tears after tears The therapy The loneliness The lack of talking about it The way I bled because it hurt my soul All of it bled out from within me The suffering that I endured The yelling The blaming The lack of love The complete ignorance of me I remember it all And I wear it on my sleeve As a reminder of what will never again be.

Memories
It was betrayal that destroyed For the one who was once a friend Is now know as only enemy.

Betrayal
She was walking home again On the trail that helped her survive Survive because it was here she lost love And lost herself A man approached her As her cheetah print skirt swayed He swooned and tried to ****** Tried to ****** a girl At the age of thirteen A man who knew nothing of her Other than her bittersweet innocence That he would steal for himself He laid her down And took her And as she walked away She wept Wept for all she has lost Wept her lack of fighting But why should such a young girl be a victim Why did that man feel like he had her from just a glance Was she weak Who told him she was broken Who told him she would scream Who told him it was okay Because it sure wasn't her.
