That moment When all is black All around you Enveloped by darkness Sealed with a kiss a mystery You stand And wonder Will they like me What will they think The cell phones In the crowd cast long shadows People texting, calling, and not looking Not looking at me Is that good or bad? We stand and wait We inhale the thick air Filled with nervous whispers The prelude drones on We stretch and warmup Then the time comes, Our cue Then it's over And all I got, was one wink A wink, from the cute boy backstage One wink And he bows

Opening Number
Was it a twitch? Or a wink? We're you sharing a secret? With me? One you'd never tell anyone else?

Wink
At the end of the dance what do you see? When they collapse What do you see? The leads The dog That cute girl in the third row That way the stage right girls legs are wide open The cute boy who's in the splits downstage left The upstage left girl that's in a bent line Or do you see the other side of thing The way one girl keeps her legs together Because she modest The nice looking boy who's in a legs are in straight line Because he brother was ***** Do you see the girl who put makeup on her arms To cover her scars Or do you see what I see? The boy in the front Yeah, you know who I'm talking about The popular one He's the one with the perfect life Put in the front row He huddles Into a little ball at the end Fetal Position Because he's scared Scared that someone knows Know what he covers His skin, his emotions Only one can recognize one of their own kind,

Collapse In The Last 8 Count
The names not one That just rolls off the tongue Not Patrick, not Nathan It doesn't' roll But come from within When you say his name You say it from the bottom of your heart With meaning and purpose Not a go-to name But one from one the heart One that you reserve for only the specialist of thing A name you don't say lightly, But say with a reason

His Name
When in sad I hide it I stare out windows and pretend I'm in a movie When I'm sad My smile fades Then pops back up to mask me When I'm sad Sunrise and sunsets are most beautiful When I'm sad I sing sad show songs in my head When I'm sad You could make me smile But you don't know me well enough to see through my mask If I'm obviously sad Then I'm trying so you will come and cheer me up I'm smarter than a 5th grader When I'm sad No one can tell Not even you "Ok that's Cool too"

A Cornfield of Sad Faces
Stop asking if I'm ok, I hate lying. Lie lie lie. Im fat, I know it. I'm stupid, I know. Stop stop stop, I want truth not acts. I'm a failure, I'll never amount to anything. Why lie, why act? I'm stupid, ugly, fat and not pretty. Help me. Help me. I need help I need a new friend not backstabbing, not forgetting, not fake and by NO WAY fake. I've had enough. Enough of you, enough of this! We've been though it. I'm not worth it. Lets get this over with and leave. You look through me until I'm all that left and even then. Stop stop stop stop stop it hurts stop stop stop its killing me inside, not helping not helping not helping. Making it worse making it worse making it worse. Stop lying, stop faking. I'll never be as skinny, as pretty, as fun, and never as wanted as they are. Stop stop stop stop. I i i i i i i. I want to leave want to leave leave want to. Help help help. Help by leaving I need to be myself. I want to stop lying I'm not I'm not. I'll never be

They asked me my name Hi I'm Jessica They asked me to describe myself I'm happy and I trust easily I met a boy He was nice, and funny He had a crush I was it Gave him my trust I thought we'd be bestest friends forever But then he met someone else She asked me my name Hi I'm Jessica She asked me to describe myself I'm happy and I have amazing friends He put me on the back shelf I was forgotten He lost my trust He couldn't find it He didn't want to find it I was left out Replaced by someone She was beautiful She was skinner She was better at everything Everything I thought I was Everything I could do, She could do it better I looked up to her I tried to be like her She introduced me to here friends They asked me my name Hi I'm Jessica They asked me to describe myself I'm forgotten and I want to be like you A while passed This went on and on He said we were still best friends But he didn't act like one I couldn't take it They ask me my name Hi I'm Jessica They say describe yourself I'm depressed and Waiting

Introduced
Sometimes your caught Just trapped In a maze One bigger then the Grand's Can't find your way out They tell you too turn around But it's not that easy You stare at the wall And think Why can't I just turn around Just turn You start with your feet To lead Then you body goes Then you head And lastly your eyes But you left your mind at that wall With your sense And direction So you wander In circles In squares You hit all the same angles Until You are beat up Until You are nothing but dust Walking dead Until You are

Until You Are
It comes and goes You never know It has its phases One big maze I can never get out Confusion There's one way One way to find the end A quick way I know But that's cheating Sometime I wonder, Who would miss me Would anyone? Would I be remembered? Then I remember you And I hope I hope with all of me left That you would You would remember me Miss me Remember me
