What i'm feeling (part 2)
Ever felt like absolutely nothing is going your way? / Like you've tried so hard, yet they don't hear a word you say. / You do your best, yet still no recognition,

What happened to us?
What's happening to all of us? The so-called generation of tomorrow? / Don't you remember how we used to be? / Before we all grew up, swearing that when we're "big" we're never going to smoke or drink?

My prepared speech for school- Love.
Sometimes you open yourself up to a person because you feel and believe that they're different and maybe this time they won't break your heart and that your love will be requitted. So you go out on a limb and open up so much of yourself to this person. Things that you're afraid to tell others about because of fear of being judged or rejected. But there's just something about this person that allows you to tell them everything. You become so comfortable in the presence of that person that you openly admit your flaws, you don't hide it. You just completely lose yourself in love and in the thought and concept of being loved, of being in a relationship and of being with someone that you can be yourself with. The idea of that person just completely excites you and everything about them makes you happy. Seeing them and hearing their voice just helps you in an inexplicable manner and being with them is an emotion of complete comfortability on its own. You learn to love this person and you accept their flaws and differences. You accept how they might not necessarily love eating McDonalds as much as you do or they are crazy about sci-fi movies where you can't even get yourself past watching a chick flick. / But that's just it, you don't mind. / You don't mind because love is about sacrifices.

Them young boys
Oh be careful of them young boys / I heard my momma say. / Silly, I thought, what does she mean.

The pressure of being a teenage girl.
The pressure of being a teenage girl / Is slowly closing in. / At times not sure which way to turn to

Live, dont merely exist.
To live is the rarest thing in the world. I agree with that statement. To live means to have life or to be alive, but how many people actually do that? / "Life is a crazy ride and nothing is guaranteed.", said Eminem. So many people in today's day and age have gone through situations, and almost always unexpectedly. The impact of the situation has left many of them with no zest for life, and they end up simply existing. Its pretty sad if you think about it though. Where some of us are living a zealous life, amped with motivation, others are like clouds, just drifting by, day after day. / Well, I think that's the problem, I think that is to blame for so many things. People who only exist have no goals for their lives, they become negative and have no hope whatsoever. They become so pessimistic that they sometimes get the better of the optimistic. That shouldn't be happening. I can confidently say that those who live to just exist, are the most negative in our population. Everybody suffers and everybody hurts but some of us have acknowledged the fact that circumstances are temporary, so why should we let it get the better of us.

I cant pretend that you dont matter.
I can't pretend that i'm angry at you, when really I'm not. I can't pretend that I hate you, when the opposite is true. I can't pretend you don't mean a thing to me, because you're absolutely perfect and I can't pretend that you don't matter to me, because you do. More than you think, tons more than you can imagine and immeasurably more than what your mind can perceive. I can't pretend that you don't matter, especially when I know in my heart that's not true. / Because you sure do matter, there's no denying that. / You matter more than anyone else and my mind knows that, my heart feels that and I have no choice but to believe that.

For Cal
When I let people down / I tend to feel real bad / Something big or something small
