impress

I'm not here to impress you

I'm not here to make you proud

I'm not even here

to get your opinion

I'm here to be who I want to be

so don't judge me for my choices

or the way I walk and talk

don't judge me for the life I live

the people I like

the things I give

the road I choose

so if you really care

care about the person I am

If not you have the freedom

to leave me be

The world turns slowly
only for life to rush by

Life looking out the window

If only life could look out the window
and watch the the world go by
then maybe we could catch a breath
before it goes again

If only life could look out the window
and see our point of view
to see our need
for a little rest
before it gets going again

but life has no time
it can not wait
for you or them
or me
so all you can do
is imagine
life sitting on a stool
looking out the window
to see a whole new world

Vending machine

I am not an object in a vending machine
I am not a price to be paid
I am not a button to be pressed
I am not what you'd think I am
I am way more!

hello world

Sorry I've been gone
It's been quite awhile
I was busy facing my fear
in a land that is unknown
Hope I didn't miss much
but now I'm back
and ready once again
so hello world
thanks for welcoming me back

What did I do wrong

I try to teach you right
I try to show you respect
you just turn your head the other way

I may not be the best
but I try the very hardest
I love even when it seems all wrong

So just please tell me
what did I do wrong
please tell me
how I change this

every time I
try to show you
I'm not quite sure
you listen

I try to make you see
from other points of view
I try to help you find
love in all sorts of cases

but you just can't reach out
to the person that really understands you most
all the grown ups haven't been here in a long long while
but it seems like yesterday when I was there

So please tell me
what did I do wrong
Please tell me
how I change this

Because as a sister
I will do
whatever
it
takes...
to make things right

to make things right

I will do everything
and anything

to make things right

This was written after a fight I had with my younger sister and I'm starting to doubt myself as someone she can look up to and I just want to know what I can do to fix this. This is the lyrics to a song.

Hope (is it real?)

The world is flailing and drowning in its own mess
the people are confused about who to be faithful to
the children are afraid of not knowing how to change the future
I, I am tired of watching this war

Opinions are peace breakers, no one can agree
religion is a base to a whole new argument
Hope, is it real, or is it just a dream

Love is pretended but always true
lies are told more than the truth
Peace is beaten down to a seed
a seed that must be planted to make a mighty tree

Hope, is it real? To me it always will be...
