American Hey everyone. I am currently a college student who loves to write. I decided to put some of my work up here and see what people thought of it. Have fun reading my work and let me know what you think. Thank you. :)
After a while you begin to realize That life is what you make it That he really didn't mean it when he said he would love you forever And  that it'll be a long journey back to finding who you used to be After you decide to give in and let go Finally say **** it" and not care about the rest of them Because you realize that no one else matters Except for you and what you think of yourself After a while you begin to realize That if you would have just said no Sent him home and not allowed the advances to happen You might be a little less damaged A little more capable of taking care of yourself But everything changed after that night Even though that night wasn't the beginning of it After a while you begin to realize That your past does affect you Whether you want it to or not That the night he took advantage Left you more messed up than you could want You don't know why he did it— After all he's blood— And relation should have drawn the line Way before he decided to stop After a while you begin to realize That you're stronger than you think You've been to hell and back But it's made you the person you are today And you wouldn't take it back for the world It might sound strange, wanting the bad with the good But the mixed bag makes life interesting And makes you ready for anything After a while you begin to realize That you're ready to take on the world It might be scary And it might come with some bad But you know you can conquer it

After a While...
Hey I know it's been a while Since we've last both spoken. I'm doing fine Except I miss you sometimes When I least expect it I'm not really sure why It's not like we were anything special Maybe it's the look in your eye In that one moment of vulnerability When you tore off all the layers Of protection That you pull so tightly Around you Perfectly hiding you Making you invincible from the world Did that scare you? That I saw that side? Is that why you didn't call Didn't leave even a note or an inkling That you had the slightest interest Or was your interest only for those few Moments together Like magic Engulfing me completely Intoxicating my senses Filling me to the brim With you and the possibility of more More that will never come Because you won't let it I want you to know that I go From spurts of anger to pain When I think of you And what we could have had Sometimes I still hold hope Before remembering Stupid girl, it'll never work You make me the highest of highs and the lowest of lows And you don't even know it Funny Because I don't want you to You don't deserve that And at this rate you never will Well this is getting long winded And it's something you'll never see Because really why would you? You never even think of me! So I guess it's time To finish what I have to say There's really nothing else Other than Goodbye

Things I'd Like to Say to Him
I hope when you look back On the life that you lead That you have regrets That you're proud that we were brought up well With good manners and a good temperament But that you hate the fact That every time you were mad For absolutely no reason at all That every time you went off the wall And lost it all You were losing another part of us I hope you're proud That you gave us the best-- Education, toys, and material things But recognize That all we really wanted Was love, time, and those things That you can't give back to us now You lost us It happened a very long time ago You didn't even realize it Will you now? Now that you won't be a part of my kids' lives Or mine after this Now that I'll get as far away as possible Just like I couldn't It'll be a lonely one for you; I hope you realize it My only question is: Looking back on your life Was it all really worth it?

Looking Back
Silence and ***** looks That's all we seem to be now It used to not be like this But it got like this somehow We went form being best friends To you barely looking my way What did I do to deserve this? Was it something I did or said? Is there any way to resolve this? So I don't lose my best friend… Could we put aside our differences So this friendship doesn't end? Because you see this is really hurting me I can't stand to be treated this way It happened in the past Where a "friend" stopped giving me the time of day I wish that you would talk to me So we could work whatever this is out But instead you're just ignoring me And constantly shutting me out Hopefully we'll resolve this And maybe be friends again And maybe one day I'll be able to Once again say that you're my best friend.

Broken Friendships
I’m ready to break open like a glass shattered into a million pieces I don’t know how much more I can take before the pressure will make me crack I feel their eyes on me, watching my every move I know that they want me to make a mistake, they need it, they thrive on it But I can’t do that, I have to keep pushing forward I can’t let the pressure get to me, not yet I can’t let them see what they are doing; if I do then they will win I can’t let them win, THEY WILL NEVER WIN

Never Give Up
Head I cant get you out of mine Even as hard as I try I think about you night and day Waiting for your next reply I wonder what you're doing and if you think about me too If you would ever want this to happen Or if you've even got a clue Over They tell me to get over you That you're no good for me That really I'm just fooling myself That this will only lead to misery But it's not that easy When I've fallen this deep You've caught me in your spell And I'm hoping it's me you'll want to keep Heels This is how the saying ends I've fallen "head over heels" I never knew it could be this dangerous I never knew that this was how it feels Maybe there will be a day When you can feel the same But I'd like you to know this is all your fault And there is only you to blame.

Head Over...
I never thought you’d make me cry Until the night you asked You asked me if there was anyone who could possibly see you See you the way I’ve seen you for so long My heart is aching I want to shout I feel defeated Defeated because you can’t see! See what I thought was so apparent So I'll sit here and cry myself to sleep tonight And admit the defeat that I never thought I would

Admitting Defeat
The pieces of the puzzle are scattered on the floor You don’t know if you can do it anymore You start to look around to see what you can do But you truly don’t know if you can even get through You see the hot mess that you were left to be So you go to seek out help hoping you’ll be free Free from all the pain you’ve felt and the misery Hoping you can let it all go and just—be The people really help you come to terms of all that has happened And you start to see clarity that you never expected It becomes easier and easier to simply be yourself Until you finally take your old self off the shelf You look down and see the puzzle pieces on the floor And you can’t stand to see them there anymore So you start to pick them up and put them back together And the pieces of your life look better and better You realize some of the pieces aren’t good for you anymore So you throw them away so they won’t hurt you as before Pretty soon the puzzle is put back together And though it looks a little different, your life is better than ever

Puzzle Pieces
I find my mind drifting back to you Wondering what you're doing right now Wondering if you're thinking of me It happens from time to time Especially when something happens Good, bad, mediocre--I find myself wanting to tell you about it What's happening to me? Am I turning into this lovesick fool? When did this minor crush turn into something this strong? I'm not sure if I like it-- The vulnerability like a shy kid on his first day of high school You literally have a part of me that no one else can take I don’t know when it happened, when you claimed that part of me But you did And now here I am Thinking about you And wanting to tell you everything about me

Thinking About You
I came across that old picture today and it brought tears to my eyes It reminded me of what we used to have We used to be a tight knit group; completely inseparable Now I've been replaced and you don't even think of me There's an old saying that says: "Keep the picture. They never change. The people in them do." How much we've all changed I used to think you'd all be in my wedding Now I know that that won't happen We drifted apart, we all took different paths Or rather, I took a different path while you all stayed on the same one together You left me here Now I just have the pictures And the memories
