American Smiling doesn't always mean someone's happy / Sometimes it means they're strong enough to put on a brave face / Even when they're facing the worst
She stood there, Her hands clutching the note explaining it all. Why she was sorry Why she did it Why she didn't want anyone to cry She stood there, The wind howling at her back Pushing her hair in her face Pushing her shirt against her body Pushing her one step closer to the edge She stood there, Thinking about her options Was she to jump to her death Was she to leave people who cared Was she to just let it all go She stood there, Battling with her options But instead of deciding She tore herself apart Her emotions taking over her body and mind And instead of jumping She fell

To Jump or Not to Jump
I'm slipping Further down Into that abyss again The abyss of never feeling good Of always feeling self conscious And always getting defensive I'm slipping Further down Pushing back the people I need The people who make me feel good And are trying to catch me before I fall But I Don't think Some people realize that it only takes a little push To send me tumbling down Into the abyss I tried to escape

Slipping
I feel angry The kind of anger that builds up in your chest The anger that frustrates you And brings tears to your eyes This anger It's built up over the years The anger from doing a wrong Or the anger you hold back Trying to explain yourself I just feel angry Angry from not being able to Freely release What's got me so Angry

I've memorized you Like I've memorized the back of my hand I know you Like I know the back of my hand But darling, Do you know me? Do you see me? No. The answer is no I'm just there Like the back of your hand

Back of my Hand
Behind these eyes, I see the world's sadness and fear. I see the darkness touching where there once was light. I see the sorrow fill people up until they can hold no more. I see the heavy burdens being carried and always added to. I see the faces that lack emotion. I see the people who give too much and get too little. I see people, just the way people are. Frail, fragile, desperate for help. And in those people, I see the ones who see what I see.

Behind These Eyes I See
My eyes cried water My heart cried pain My wrists cried blood And God cried rain My soul cried sorrow My heart cried pain My lungs cried for air My head cried to be sane In all this sorrow In all the rain I lost my sanity And my heart still cried pain

My Heart Cried
Life is like a book As our life continues on: the plot changes There's romance and action; adventure and comedy; plot twists and shockers; conversations and drama; And a cliche moment every now and then But...life isn't like a book If it's a bad life, we can't change the beginning, Only how it ends We can revise all we want but that doesn't mean It'll get easier to understand We can't skip ahead and see what happens next We're authors of our own stories Every day we write new pages of our lives We face obstacles And criticism And through it all we still manage to write our legacy And when it's complete Only then can we look back and finally understand That we not only completed our stories on our lives But also became characters in other's books And then we understand Life is like a book
