I wear a mask at school,
I wear a mask at home.
I wear it all the time,
To pretend I don't feel alone.

You touch my heart like springs new flowers
when you tickle my toes and we play for hours
You light my soul like summer's shine
as you touch your face and reach out for mine
You shake me up like autumn's leaves
with fits of laughter and sighs and heaves
Like a cool winters eve you hold me tight
snuggled into my heart, I kiss you goodnight

Happiness was in the days
and times when you were here
The times I held you in my arms
whispering in your ear

The times when words were vacant
and laughter filled the space
The times your love let lose
and my heart did then give chase

Happy were those days
knowing that you were near
though all things must come to end
my heart still holds you dear

A life with you apart from me
is a hollow vacant shell
the words die down
the laughter stops
my own tormented hell

Happy were the days
to be held just one last time
and end this burning pain
to know that you are mine

The earth now drinks my tears
a wash of mournful grays
if only you were here
Happy were those days
Love is when you are missing some of your teeth
but you're not afraid to smile
because you know your friends will still love you
even though part of you is missing

Love is when your hair is falling out
but you don't wear a wig
because you know your friends will still love you
even though part of you is missing

Love is when you lose your arms and legs
but you don't hide away
because you know your friends will still love you
even though part of you is missing

Love is when people accept you for who you are
and you can relax and breathe free
because that's what love is

I don't know this person but it was something I read online (first 4 lines) and I thought it was very cute and true and I wanted to share it with you
A long day of shadows--
Never glisten the meadows---
We have chosen the wrong--
Day by day,
We have almost forgotten
that divine song,
Losing the spiritual light of the god---
Moving ourselves in a darkness broad----

I see the sky has grown red crucified--
The spiritual light is being satisfied---
The Satan is being terrified--  
Mother Mary becomes merriment---
That her holy son again removes the darken---
We are wondering again to be unified-
The earth is growing with magnified---

Flowers aroma blowing amour of love
The children singing the reception's song,
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas!!

Angels play divine melody--
Truths coming too merrily--
We are waiting for the light of the prophet (Jesus)
in the darkness of the horizon---
Merry Christmas
The stars in the sky have nothing on the ones in your eyes.
As I watch the crimson flow corrupt the freshly fallen snow,
I feel you against me, as the bitter winds blow us about.
I knew then, that only you could stop me, and help me come alive.
