American I'm just someone that loves to write. / Because it's the only way I can truly express myself and my feelings. / It's what makes me feel free.. And I love that. Because I don't get to feel free that often. / I may not be that great at it but I don't really care. / Because It's my new found passion and I can't stop.
It happened again. She cries. She writes. She feels even worse. She feels lost. Like life is meaningless. Like no one would miss her. No one cares. No one notices. No one will know. She fills pages and pages. Not able to stop. Tears running down her face. But, eventually she does. Either her hand hurts or she is too tired. She doesn't know. It doesn't matter, shes too tired to keep playing this stupid game. It keeps happening. But why? Is it her fault or theirs? Who's to blame? She thinks. She sits in silence. She tilts her head up. She cleans herself up. She feels empty. But also doesn't. She doesn't know what this feeling is. Acceptance? Understanding? Strength? She doesn't know. Doesn't care. She just wants it to be over. For this to stop happening. But she knows it won't. It never will. But she gets up anyways. Grabs the papers, files them away. Never to be looked at again. Yet never thrown away. She gets dressed. Gets ready for her plans made the night before. She grabs her coat and is about to walk out the door. But catches a glimpse of herself in the hallway mirror before she leaves. She fixes her hair, checks her makeup. You couldn't even tell she had cried an hour ago. Then she looks at her eyes in the reflection. And she says to herself, *"You are strong. You are beautiful. You can do this."* She puts on her best smile, looking happy as can be. Then she walks out the door. As if nothing ever happened.

As If Nothing Ever Happened
I wish I knew how it was to have Two loving parents In the same house Loving each other until they're last breath Parenting together Facing problems together Dealing with life's difficulties together What's it like having parents who never fight? Who don't hate each other. What's it like to have your mom around all the time? To have someone who understands you And loves you unconditionally To teach you how to cook How to do your hair in different ways How to use makeup To go shopping with To get a second opinion on outfits To talk about boys with To have an all girls day to do girl things How to deal with life as a girl In this cruel, judgmental world. What's it like to be comfortable to talk to a parent whose always there? What's it like to have a mom around all the time? Whats it like having two parents there for you all the time?

What's It Like?
Everything in the end will be okay. It just takes time for things to change Into the beautiful things They're meant to be in the end. Even if it starts off really ugly And horrible, The pieces will fall together And everything will be okay You just have to have faith, Hope, and Courage To go through The hell you have to go through to get to that point. In the end everything will be Fixed, and Mended back together. The pieces that were once a part Of a beautiful picture created By past experiences, And people, That was soon shattered After everything that happened Soon were put back together To make another More masterful Exquisite Piece of art Like no other. In the end there will be happiness, If not, then your still on your journey there.

In The End
Every now and then I see you look back To catch a glimpse of me To see if I'm still there If I'm real If I show you emotion Like how I used to When we were together When you look back I realize I'm not the Only one that does it. You do it too. Sometimes I can't help myself But to look at your face And try and see What your thinking Feeling Wether you miss me or not I miss you, but not in the same way as I used to.. Things are different But even if they are, I know, no matter how much time passes, We both will continue To dare to look back at each other's Faces when the other isn't watching Forever will we be curious of the other

Daring to look
Behind that smile is a quivering mouth Behind those eyes are tears being held back Behind that kind joyful face is a sad depressed one Behind the kind words are cries for help Help from the darkness surrounding them To not be ****** in like many others To give them strength not to give up To show them that theres more to it than sadness To show that these horrible moments will pass and will soon be forgotten Forgotten because they will be focusing on the joy in their lives Not on the sorrowful There is more to a person than what meets the eye They seem to have everything together They seem to have happy lives They seem to never cry Or to never think about the bad things going on But behind it all They lose everything They have troubles at home They cry them selfs to sleep every night They always think about the bad things going on Never letting them go Never focusing on the good Never enjoying the little things Never smiling out of the public eye Never getting close to anyone Never letting anyone help them Because they are afraid of getting hurt again They are afraid of rejection, help, or even having fun. Because whenever they do something comes up and they are back to being sad and depressed. They are just waiting to be saved Not even knowing that they are They are loved without knowing it They are thought of all the time They matter the most to those they love They are noticed They are important without knowing They are never forgotten. Never.

Appearances deceive you.
Come take me away from this place that is dreadful Come take me somewhere warm and colorful Where there is no snow and sadness Where there is the sun and happiness In this place that is wonderful and filled with joy If I go will I meet that one special boy? If so, please come and take me there For I have never been there Except once in my dreams But just like people it leaves Leaving me behind to fend for myself Leaving me behind all by myself So come take me to this one special place So I can enjoy myself and have a little faith to embrace So I can be warm and lay in the sun So I can be with others and act as one So I can be with that special one

Come Take Me
Do you remember all the harm you have done? Do you know how many hours I had spent crying? To me it seems like you did it all for fun. Why did you keep lying? Because of you everything changed. Our memories together went from sweet to sour. It's like our memories were exchanged. My feelings and perspective of you changed within an hour. But now I have learned, That I must let go of your hurtful actions. Although in the inside your words had burned. I had to find a way to get you out of my mind- a distraction. But that is the past and I must let go. For we can't hold a grudge or waste time on something that happened long ago.

What you Caused
On this morning children are opening their gifts from under the tree Finding things they wanted Finding things they needed Ripping through the wrapping paper to discover what they received On this morning children are waking up overjoyed Running down the stairs to their tree To find wrapped presents Waiting to be opened On this morning parents are woken up by overjoyed screaming children Being told that Santa came And left presents for them under the tree And that the milk and cookies were gone On this morning living rooms are left a mess Filled with gifts, wrapping paper, and memories Filled with kisses, hugs, and smiles With love and happiness being spread all around On this morning the breakfast conversations are revolved around the presents they've received About Santa coming to the home Wether anyone heard the hooves of the rain deer during the night Wether anyone saw or heard him while he was there On this morning families are filled with an overwhelming feeling of joy and love. Constantly being reminded at how great life is at that very moment. This of all mornings is one of the happiest of the closing year.
