Life wasn’t what I thought
hoped or even dreamed
as I sat you looking at me
I could see the pain in your eyes
I could tell you were upset
and as I walked away that day
I let it go
because to me you were a ****
then three years later
I lie in a made bed
looking at a guy I didn’t know
I am sure he saw the pain
just as I saw yours
I am a kid
a kid who lived in fear
lived in pain from the choices
I made
now a year later
I sit and rejoice
I have learned from the past
I have sat and listened to my heart
I am still a kid
Still a growing girl
but I have changed
in the best way I could
I am a new girl

I was a freshmen
Scared and small
I slammed my locker
On that September day
Then the next day
I was in a new grade
I was suddenly a senior
Making my way
Just like that
I was no longer so small
And just like that
Freshmen year seemed so far
As I made my way
To graduation day
I tried so hard to not cry
For saying goodbye
Would be the hardest part.
We threw up our caps
We paraded away.
And nothing I said,
Could change that day.
We hugged our teachers, our parents, and friends.
For on that day
Our life truly began.
School was all over
College was a night away.
We packed up my bags,
That September day.
My mom began to cry,
My dad held it in.
For they knew I would be
A car ride away.
They watched as their
Daughter drove away
To start her new life
At college that day.

life was heavy
the ground cold and hard
bricks upon bricks on my chest
I am unable to breathe
with everything happening around me
people rushing by
people with their own place to be
but here I am
unable to move
or even breathe
I lay there silently screaming
unable to move
unable to breathe
on top of the heaviness was the emptiness
all around me.

Here I stand
and here I stay
never do I leave
never do you stay
You run away
when it gets to hard
I stay and find a way
to win your heart
Here I stand
Here I stay
I feel lost
no where to be found
only you
can save me now
here I stand
here I stay

And just like that the light peaked through the dark sky,
the sky that had been dark for too long.
I finally saw the sun,
felt it against my face,
then I saw hope.
Hope for the future
hope for the pain
I could feel the dark fade away
I could see the sun appear more and more
I felt the hope ground under my bare feet
I stood, arms open
palms to the sky
I could feel the warmth
that I had missed for too long
I saw the hope that night
I saw the future
I had it in front of me
close enough to reach
there it was
hope
all for me

My story isn't over
it has only just begun
these scars tell stories
of where I came from.
I have a story to be told
and I am ready to share.
My life wasn't always like
how it is now
you see my life
was turned upside down
nothing seemed right
and I wanted to give up
I did not stop
I kept going along
my scars they show me
how far away I once was
I look at them time to time
and remember how far I came
and How hard I fought
Now I sit here
I tell you my story
or what I have so far.
Because It is not quiet over
there is more to be told.

He took something
that September day
something that wasn't his
a thing oh so precious
that I could never again give
He took the one thing
I needed to keep me new
He can't give it back
I look back to that day
tears in my eyes;
I look to the night sky
I see the moon
the stars and myself
I was once so simple
so innocent
then it came
and brought me to earth
it struck me hard
I can never turn back
I hit the ground
I feel the real pain now
a year has past now
but yet I still have pain
for he took something
something that wasn't his

without you
the sky doesn’t seem as blue
without you
the rain falls more
the clouds are gray
and the sun not as bright
because without you
life just isn’t right
something about life
doesn’t work
the way it used too.
I just wish
I had one more night
to see your face
to give you a hug
to say I love you
because
without you
my TV is black and white
my sugar not as sweet
my chips not as crunchy
without you
I wouldn’t know what to do
I used to sit and wonder
what life would be
if I couldn’t count to three
and see your face
what would it be
if I couldn’t count to thirteen
and see morning sun with you
because without you
the grass isn’t green
and the roses aren’t as red
because without you
life just feels dead
But now I can feel it
I can see
that if I count to 113
you couldn’t see me
If I’d known this
when I held you
in my arms
I would never let go!
because without you
my life is gray
my eyes filled with tears
and My lips quivering
so right now I have you
but not for long
so Hold on tight
B-man because it is going
to be the ride of your life.
For my cousin who moved a few years back! Miss him like crazy!
