I am a writer who's just looking for an outlet. The words just flow. Hope you enjoy reading as much as I enjoy writing.
I tell you things my closest friends don't know But it's not enough I expose to you my fears and inner demons But it's not enough I tell you how much I struggle But it's not enough To you I list my hopes and dreams But it's not enough I look at you now and I want to cry Because I know you will never be mine No matter how much I pray Or how much I try I can't get you out of my mind What will it take to be enough?

Unrequited Love
waiting for the rain watching the ominous clouds awaiting the oncoming storm listening to the soft drizzle rolling thunder booming lightning crackling simply waiting it was coming there was no stopping it

Waiting for the Rain
Oh my dear, how you've wandered so far You walk day and night to forget who you are You walk through the trees with the moon high above you You walk with bare feet, the hard ground below you You've traveled so far and you've traveled so wide Yet you only have the sky, to whom you confide The sun lights your path and the stars lead your way You've walked over the earth and paved your own way You've walked so many days And so many nights Now it's time to spread your wings And finally take flight

O Wanderer
If you ever looked in the mirror And didn't like what you saw If you ever looked in the mirror And thought the lowest of yourself If you ever looked in the mirror And turned away in shame If you ever looked in the mirror and cried Know this There is always someone Someone who feels the same Someone who knows where you've been Someone who cares Look at yourself in the mirror Look at yourself and know There is hope No matter how broken and distorted Your reflection may be No matter how you see yourself There will always be someone Who sees you as you truely are Beautiful

Shattered Glass
There are people who go around Trying to make something Of themselves They try to become the best They try to achieve And some of them do There are people who think They can't make anything Of themselves They feel like they're the worst And that they can't achieve They don't feel like they can But no matter Who you are Or where you're from You have done something Think back To everyone you've known How did you influence them? Think back Everyone Just by being alive Has made a difference Even if It's the smallest difference imaginable You have changed the world In your own special way

You've Already Made Your Mark
He finds me in the shadows, Alone and silent, Thinking about the day. I think of my regrets And the dues I still must pay; For Sadness does not come cheap. It takes away Joy And steals Happiness too. He sits with me in darkness, Not knowing what to say, But he need not speak a word For all I need is him to stay. He wipes away my tears, And holds me in his arms. Within this gentle warmth, I can feel Hopelessness start to flee. Because he's here with me. He holds me close and tight. He takes my hand and squeezes, So now I can see the light. The darkness starts to fade All dark thoughts turn to dust This is all I need I just need him here with me

Please Just Be Here
When I smile on my throne, you will wonder why the others cringe away in fear pawns When I laugh behind my hands, you will wonder why he shook so with rage bishop When I sleep at night, you will wonder why they stand guard by my bedside knights When I walk in the great hall, you will wonder why the others flee from my path rooks When I cry in the garden, you will wonder why he does not dry my tears king When I am silent at your graveside you will wonder no more Check Mate

The Queen
Quietly watching the small flame Flicking back and forth frantically With the slightest breath The wax is dripping Pooling down below Soon the light will run out The wick will burn And the wax will melt away If the candle is gone, child What now shall light your path?

Candle
The bustle of people The joint between the teeth The city comes alive When the sun goes down She blows out a circle of smoke She's had the practice Everyone tells her to stop ***** them all," she says The moon is high in the sky But no stars can be seen There's too much smoke So much smoke She knows it's bad That's the point With each inhalation She's closer to detonation People walk by without a second glance They've got everything on their minds She's got one thought Let this be the night But it's just another night Another night Blowing smoke In the city that comes alive When the sun goes down

Smoke and Bombs
He looked down at the old town As he stood atop the hill He looked down at his home And he knew it was over She looked over at him A single tear rolled down his face She stood next to him and took his hand And she could feel him start to shake Sure, the world was ending But, at least, they had each other
