Why do you love me?
That's what she always asks me
Well I finally came up with an answer I like
And its not that your smart funny cute ******* every guy says no
I love her because ..
Well because shes different 
Because she doesn't share the same thing all the other girls do 
Because she's not any other girl that why I love her

Detectives
They solve mysteries
One day I want to be a detective 
So that I can solve the mystery 
Of what could be 
Between you and me

Graduation
It comes so fast
Even when we know it is coming 
It never seems to come fast enough
Until that moment when it finally arrives 
And then it kicks in and we all wish we had more time
We are flooded with emotions 
From anger and sadness
To excitement and joy 
Saying goodbye to friends isn't hard
But saying  goodbye to the ones we've grown close to
The ones we've become brother and sisters with
The ones weve entrusted with our lives 
Those are the ones that are difficult to say goodbye to
If I had to say one thing about graduation I'd be torn between saying congratulations we did it 
And wishing that I could rewind time and spend all that time with those close to me again 
But I guess my finals words are goodbye to my class 
And
Let's not let go just yet to my close friends

I feel like glass
No that's wrong because you can still see reflections in glass
I feel like air 
No that's wrong because you can still see light through air
I feel like words
No that's also wrong because you can at least hear words when they are spoken
I guess that I am vacuum because when you look at me it's like nothing is here 
But wait 
I dot blame you directly for that I blame him
Yes your boyfriend if that's what you want to call him 
From this point in I'm going to call him your keeper 
Because although you feel he loves you
last night the things I saw were not love but anger in his eyes and fear in yours 
As I resisted the gut wrenching feeling to express to his face the emotions that flowed through me I held back in contempt
I held back to protect you from being hurt that I would do such a thing to him and keep him from ******* and complaining to you
Now I may not understand love 
But I have a pretty good idea and when I can be told from the other side of the country by the last person in the world I woul expect to say this 
That he does not love you but rather loves the feeling of controlling you for him it is like a drug he gets that high when he knows that you do what he wishes 
He gets a high from knowing that even when he ***** up that you will forgive him in the morning an not because he deserves it but because you fear him leaving 
I understand that you love him but his love for you faded long ago for him now it's just empty words he says to keep you on his hook
The way I look at you is in fear that I may never show you what love really is and that you will be stuck listening to his twisting words as he continues to control your life
That shouldn't be  my problem but it is because I love you and I fear for when he lets go 
A man very close to me once told me that a man who controls a woman's life is no real man and that a man who allows her to live her how she wants and is still there for her is the man she truly deserves
Now I'm not saying I'm better than him
But I am saying that he controls you I've seen it your friends have seen it your parents have seen but we all kept quiet trying not hurt you but I believe know because he has left that although this may hurt to read that it is time someone showed you the difference without him being able to twist it
I believe that now is the time when you must wake up and realize that he does not love you but loves controlling you 
I hope you realize that he's just trying to be your 
Keeper

I will forever love you MLG

"our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate,
Our greatest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure,
It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us,"
Marianne Williamson wrote those words in 1992
To me those words are still some of the most inspirational words
Have you ever heard of a suicide complex 
I'm willing to bet you have just not called a suicide complex 
Yes I mean suicide and no I do not mean a complex suicide 
That kid that you saw today walking down the hall thinks about killing himself everyday and doesn't because he can expect great things to come from his life
Why?
Maybe not because he is smart or charismatic or hard working but because he has beaten death,
Yes he continues his life because he believes that he is a beacon of hope for the hopeless,
That girl that everyone calls a ****
Has never once done a ****** thing
She has never thought of being sexually active 
She has held onto her boyfriend longer than any of you 
She has considered cutting her wrists and saving the trouble of ******* and name calling
But she doesn't because she knows there are people who love her while the people who call her a **** or ***** are just jealous because they don't have the life she does
That **** that everyone loves once thought about shooting up the school he once thought if no one would remember him for anything other than being that fat kid in 5th grade that he should be remembered for killing everyone he hated
But what changed
He found his calling
He found his sport and he is popular
In school he sticks with the jocks and outside he hangs out with the outcasts because they were with him before he was popular
I once thought about ending my very existence
I had never done anything important and probably never would
And I never believed people when they told me I would do great things with my life
I want you to know two thing about me 
I'm tired of pretending
I'm terrified of it ending
But because of you I will never let it end

Words unspoken 
I have left many words unspoken for the simple reason I never thought they'd need to be said
Every picture is worth a thousand words and every second I spend with you is a picture
Imagine if had said every word I could to you 
Imagine what I would say if I say I love you know what would I say if I could speak 1 thousand words for every second I'm with you 
A new poem every second
A new album every minute
A new feeling 
Haven't you ever left words unspoken that you wish you could say 
What about those half sentences you start and never finish
What about when you go to say something and end with nevermind
What about those texts you send that say can I ask something and instead of asking the real question you ask one you already know the answer to 
What about
What about
His words unspoken
My words unspoken
Their words unspoken
Everyone has them but only I wish I could tell you mine as badly as I wish I could 
Because every word unspoken is jump I never took

The only you I see
Fighting and bickering
Argument after argument 
You and him "love" each other but always fight
You say it's his fault
He says it's mine
He reacts by pointing the blame elsewhere
Because he is not strong enough to accept that he may be the real reason
His insecurity and untrusting 
His compassion is his greatest strength and most powerful weakness
He loves you so much hes afraid to take blame 
To take blame would mean he was wrong
To be wrong could mean losing you
He's upset because you still hang out with me
He's scared because he knows I love you 
He's scared because he knows I accept when I **** up 
He's scared because I might be the man he could never be
He's worried you will leave the man he is for the man 
He could be
The man
That I am
Because the only you that I see
Is the you in tryoust
Is the you in yous
Is the you and me
You will always be the better part of us
But I will always try to better part of me
