From day to day
From time to time
We all repeat the same steps
In this process we call life.

Ashly Kocher

The fate of my life
Is in my hands
Should I jump
Just make this all
Come to an end
Would I hurt
Not just myself
But everyone around me

One foot
Over the edge
My mind is racing
Is this the right thing
I just want to make it end

Second guessing
What I thought was right
Take a step backwards
I’m so filled with fright

We all have these moments
When times get rough
To just end our lives
But you got to have trust

Trust in yourself
Your not alone
There’s always a driving force
To bring you safely
Back home...

Sometimes feels like this is the best option. Stay strong and know your not alone...

Human.

I think it's time you tried something new
those cat calls really don't suit you.
The cute boy that I used to know
is now going after every "***."
Hey I get it, you're growing up
You're no longer just a little pup.
I do have just one thing to say though,
you really shouldn't have to put on such a show.
You're friends should treat you as a human
not as if you're some garbage can.

Brainless Idiot

Would you look at that!
You chewed me up then spat.
Although, I'm not surprised.
It wasn't as if you were disguised.
You're well known for your stupids act
but of course I thought I could get you on track.
I'm a pest, I get it.
I'm tightly knit.
Won't spread my legs
or drink out of kegs.
I'm the good girl who never strays
even after you've tried for days.
You made a bet
now you're beginning to sweat.
Because its not happening
must be saddening.
100 bucks down the drain
I'm guessing now you wish you had a brain.

Millenials

My mother wants me to go to college
My father prefers me go to technical school
My uncle thinks I should go into the Military
My aunt pushes me towards the Navy

However, out of four brothers
Not one tries to influence me.
Not a single one.
By doing this,
they encourage me to be me.

And that, is why us "Millennials" ignore the older population.
Ignore the stuff you all say that is stupid and frustrating.
We break the mold because we refuse to sit in one.
We push the boundaries you set,
Because we want to be OURSELVES.

Glasses

I got glasses today.
Not the ones for your eyes,
but the ones that let you see the inside.

I got glasses today.
It almost made me cry.
Seeing people how they really felt.

I got glasses today.
It almost ruined me.
It brought me back to reality.

I got glasses today.
Now I see clearly,
yet I can no longer see happy.

I got glasses today and it broke me.

Believe me, I know.

Believe me, I know.
I know you have a Girlfriend.
A Girlfriend who deserves more.
Deserves more than your nasty thoughts.
Your nasty thoughts that drove even me away.
Me away to the opposite end of the page we had made.
