You broke my trust for you
You broke my heart way before                                                           ­    Any boy had a chance to
Just as you can break a twig
You smashed my heart into a million pieces
So now you got me broken inside
Sometimes now I just want to hide
You never cared for me that's why I feel broken
And you know that I'm not at all joking
You never loved me
You never listened to me
It's like you didn't have ears
Your heart is cold; it's always been pitch black
And now you made my heart have a huge crack
Whenever I stood up
You shoved me back down
You always acted like I wasn't around
You only ignored me
That's why sunshine
Is something you'll never see
That's also why you'll never be
Like a father to me
Whenever I spoke up you hushed me
Whenever I told you something you shushed me
That's why I'm leaving you behind
But unfortunately only in my mind

Sometimes,                                                       ­I suppose I am happy                      
When I am with my friends,     
Throwing my head back and covering my mouth                                                            ­ As I shake with laugher                                 At a joke someone just made.                      But then the day turns to night            
And my carefree grin turns into an unexplainable sadness.                                 I lay in bed.                                        Thinking about all the things  I wish I could say.                                                       All the things I'm afraid too admit,                                                           ­      Even with one pen, paper, and one mind.                                                            ­ It's nights like these when I realize             I am many things                                            I am happy and sad,                                        Outgoing and shy,                       Quiet                                                            ­    But mostly,
I am empty.

I'm happy that you are my teacher,            I enjoy every lesson that you teach            As a role model you inspire me                   To dream and to work and to reach.           With your kindness you get my attention, Every day I look forward to coming to School because of you.                            Your curiosity and motivation                     To know and to grow and to succeed.   You help me fulfill my potential,                  I'm thankful for all that you've done          I admire you each day, and I just want to say                                                              ­  
As a student, you are the best

She can make a teacher forget how to teach,                                                           ­     She can make a preacher not want to preach,                                                          She can make a dad not want to be a dad.                                                                 She can take your money,                        
She will ****** unborn babies or.             They will be born addicted.                          She will make you rob, steal, and ****.       If you try her                                                  You may never be free                                 She has already destroyed                           Teachers, Preachers, Dads, and Actors.      She has decreased                                  
Bank accounts, from millions to zero. When you are under her power    
You have no will.

Throughout my life,                                  You have always been near.                         At first you were a hand to hold.             The person who came running                 To pick me up when I fell.                       Now I know you are always                         A phone call away,                                    And I am so thankful for your wisdom, advice,                                                          Your words of encouragement and your silent prayers.                                                    If I am beautiful                                              It's because you told me so.                          If I am strong its because you showed me I could be.   ~Alyssa

I had no where to turn, I had no where to go.                                                              ­   This is just something I think you need to know.                                                                 I don't know what made me trust you.        I still remember the day I told you what I've been going through,                                 I thought I should run away, go hide in a hole,                                                               But then you brought out my true soul.     As each day grew longer,                              Our trust became stronger                         
Each time I wanted to cry                              You stayed right there by my side.             ~Alyssa Nichole
