Candle

Scarlett Willow
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?

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
When you're in a dark place, all you really need is someone there beside you.

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
Whether you believe this or not. It's true. I can guarantee.

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

Echoes Of A Mind
Stay strong
Take 10 deep breaths
And if it doesn't work
Then try with some beer...

Don't run
Even though you wan't to
Don't cry
While he's there...

Stay strong
Take a deep breath
There's only half an hour
Before he'll be here...

Don't run
It won't help after all
Don't cry
Your make-up will smear...

Stay strong
I know he's standing right there
Just look away
Imaginate him just being air...

Don't run
Don't give up now
Face it headstrong
Then cry when you get home...

Stay strong
Just hold everything in
And when you sit in the train
Just let the tears fall...

Stay still
But don't be frozen
When you get home
Cry behind your curtains...

Stay strong
Think happy thoughts
And act happy
Act like you aren't crushed...

Don't run
Face it head on
Smile and hide
That inside you cry...
My mind after 11:00 A.m. on Tuesdays and around 02:00 P.m on Thursdays....
