American My name is Lindsey and I am a 19 year old with a confusing mind. All I am trying to do is get by in the world and find myself, without losing myself along the way.
From collar bones to skinny wrists She tries to joke, impress with her wits Thigh gaps, stomach flat Through her eyes she see nothing but fat It becomes a game, how far will she go? It only depends on what her scale will show One goal met, a lower one set The pattern continues, she's not done yet She starts to get sick, cold, numb, and weak When she stands up you hear all her bones creek Never a fad, never for show She pushed herself to see how far it would go Don't know how to stop, it's now who you are Each day she purges, even though  she is starved Now I am sick, but I know I can't quit Why do I think all this pain is worth it?

Distorted Eyes
I believe that if you expect the worst to happen Nothing bad well ever happen When having high expectations, there is a chance to fall It upsets people to see that, they can't have it all No one likes being dropped No one likes falling down I start from the ground When you start from the bottom you can always soar up Maybe I'm crazy, that is alright I rather wake up on a cloud than in the gutter Even if that means sleeping in the gutter one night

Expecting the Worst
If I could, I would go back to the day you flew so far away from me Seen by heart, no longer by eye I wait for that day I too will fly If I could, I would change fate, erase the marks on the dirtied slate Seen by heart, no longer by eye I wait for the day I too will fly You flew like a butterfly through the crystal blue sky Seen by heart, no longer by eye There will come a day when we all will fly Forever in memory I will never say goodbye

If I Could
Galloping through the field there is nothing that can stop me now With the midmorning sun glinting against my golden hide I feel free Moving through the wind with my mane flowing behind me It feels as if traveling upriver against the grain I feel free I rear up to the sun that is sending down warmth and guidance No real destination, no true reason for the ride I am simply free

I am a leader and I am unique I wonder who I am sometimes I hear the voice inside my head I see the path I have to take I want to be happy with who I become I am different and unique I pretend to be on the outside looking in I feel the battle inside that I shall win I touch the words inscribed on the page I worry that I will never be the same I cry tears, they roll down my face I am a leader and I am unique I understand that I am the creator of who I will become I say the words I hope to follow I dream of becoming the best person I can be I hope people will follow me and find themselves as well I am a leader and I am unique

I Am
A questioning whiny breaks the sound of approaching footsteps Deep brown eyes glint in the midmorning sunlight as a figure appears A powerful spark when both sets of eyes meet A reassuring neigh comforts and warms the heart A firm stomp to show he is ready A smirk from the rider A majestic creature galloping through the fields, we begin A confident leader takes charge; there is nothing that can stop us now A ray from the sun warms my face and glints against his golden hide He is free A perfect unit moving rhythmically through the wind A mane made of silk flowing behind him I feel my troubles flowing behind me, and leaving me I am free He rears up to the sun No real destination, no true reason for the ride We are free
