Relationships
Why my darling are you so blue?
Was it that boy who said he didn't love you?
Remember my darling that he's only a boy.
There's many more out there, who would love to see your joy.
You have to find the right one and when you do.
You'll be glad you went with someone new.
Someone besides this monster who broke your heart.
Someone who will give you a brand new start.

Goodbyes
Hello is word we use to greet each other. The first word to come from our lips.
Goodbye is a word that saddens me because through my heart it rips.
It's a word that I struggle with because I want you by my side.
I don't want you to go and leave my arms hanging wide.
I'm very sentimental when it comes to these things.
I'll remember you always even when death comes to ring.
Remember, when  you say goodbye for the final time.
You're always welcome to come back, it is not a crime.

Love.
One day I know I'll meet you.
One day I'll know you'll be the one I look to.
One day I know I'll love you.
I don't know who you are,
But one day, when I look at you, I know I can stop searching far.

Death and Heaven
Ice cold hands grip me tight as they lead me toward the light.
I'm terrified for what comes next, the fear of the unknown after death is what I feel best.
I'm getting closer and closer toward the bright clouds.
I see angels singing and tress blowing in the breeze.
Jesus himself is nowhere to be seen, but soon he'll show and guide me home.
He'll look at me with a kindly smile and say, "Hey. It's been awhile."
I'll grab his hand and hold it tight as we walk together, through the mist of forever.

Faking
I fake a smile when people ask if am okay,
so I keep smiling to keep the darkness at bay.
I cry in despair, when I see happiness from a distance,
For I cannot get to it, with the darkness' resistance.
So I smile on and hope one day I can be happy.
An emotion everyone has, and I'll take gladly.

Mother
Faster and faster tears roll down my face, I inhale a sob at a steady pace.
My mental struggle is too much to bear, I'm falling apart without you here.
I miss the little girl I used to be, when I would see you smiling at me.
Mother, it's been ten years since you've passed, I don't know how the time went by so fast.
I smile sadly as I remember, I've grown older, and my childhood is now over.
I will remember the good times we had, and hope, that you're a peace at last.

The Girl inside
Darling, the girl has been right here all along,
Can't you hear her sing her song?
The darkness has no where to hide, the light's too strong.
It retreats back into hell where it belongs,
The girl, is here happy and free, to say she's gone, and the darkness took her, you are wrong.
The laugh she gives, makes her stronger, listen again to her song,
Let your heart feel the words and the melody seep into your skin and once again feel the light she'll have lifelong.

The Girl. Part one.
The girl I used to be was happy and free
But the darkness came and took it away from me.
What happened to the girl that was once joyful and bright?
The one who used to hold so much light?

Win this fight
Put down that pill bottle,
put down that knife,
It may take awhile,
But you'll win this fight,
It may be long but you'll be alright,
The road is hard, but at the end, there's always a light for you to see,
A light to guide you where you need to be,

Stay Strong
Stay strong my darling, you'll be okay,
Stay strong my darling, there's always a way,
Stay strong my darling, all the tears will fade
Stay strong my darling, and let the light leave you unafraid.

One, two, three, four.
One, two, three, four, quietly shut the door,
Five, six, seven, eight, stop marking your body with hate,
Nine, ten eleven twelve, send your demons back to hell,
Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, rejoice! You're skin is clean!
Seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty, go ahead and live life plenty.

The Earth's Pains
The world today is as it's always been, filled with greed, death and war.
I sadly reflect that it get's worse and worse and through my heart it tore.
Soon everything must come to an end and so must the pain, blood, and gore.
I hope someday Christ will come and take away the pain the earth cannot stand anymore.
People are greedy and vile and I weep when I see them befoul the earth, stop it! I implore.
Alas! With a heavy heart I realize they will not, but ignore.

My Darling
You're a fighter my darling, you've been through so much.
More than once you have escaped the devil's clutch.
Remember my darling when your sad and blue, even the worm turned into the butterfly and from the ground it flew.
Be aware my darling of how much you can do with simply your words as they can heal too.
You're amazing my darling, life can be tough. Just remember with that pretty mind of yours, you are enough.
For Shannon Perry
