What a laugh!
What a joke!
Fairy tales breed
Only false hope

What knight in shining armor
Will ride to rescue me?
And damsel in distress?
I dare not claim to be

If I kiss a frog
A frog he shall remain
The results with any other
Beast would be the same

Faith in fairy tales
Leads only to sorrow;
The dreams of today
Turn to heart-break tomorrow
For: Mom (who actually thinks this way)

If you’re gone
Why won’t you leave?
I haven’t seen you in years
But you’re still with me

You never really loved me
You just played with my heart
Do you think love’s a game?
Were you playing a part?

You took all that I had
I’ve nothing left to give
My heart will be yours
For as long as I live

Stop haunting my dreams
Just let me be
Let go of my mind
And set me free

Chaos, confusion
A strong urge to scream
Running in terror
Fighting to breathe

Panic approaching
In a dark swirling cloak
Fear consuming me
Making me choke

Reality slowly sinks in
It’s hopeless it seems
There’s no use in running
You can’t hide from your dreams

With his dazzling blue eyes
And his curly blonde hair
He made me feel wanted
It seemed like he cared

We talked for hours
The time flew by
We merged together
And then said goodbye

I’ll probably never
See him again
And if I do
We’ll only be friends

But I’ll love him forever
For making me smile
And making me feel
That I’m worth the while

I think about him
All the time
Can't seem to get him
Off my mind

He's really smart
And has much to teach
He's funny too
And really sweet

I like him a lot
Which makes me scared
I've been hurt before
When I've dared to care

But I know he likes me
And that gives me hope
That things can go right;
I'll have no need to mope

I know it will be hard
But I'd like to take the chance
With him I see the potential
For a really great romance

I hope he thinks it's worth it
To take this risk with me
So win or lose we don't
Have to wonder what could be

The ball's in his court
He knows how I feel
I'm not big on games
I like to stay real

So now I just wait
And I hope, and I fret
That he decides that
I'm a pretty good bet

My heart says ‘He’s perfect’
My mind says ‘Yeah, right’
I’m caught in the middle
Of an internal fight

My body wants him
My head says ‘No’
If he wanted me anywhere
There I would go

He’s wrong for me
I already know
He’s hurt me before
But my heart won’t let go

I can’t stand the pain
But I can’t forget him
Sometimes I wish
That I had never met him

I’d have missed the pain
But the happiness too
If I could go back
I know what I’d do

I’d keep the joy
I’d do it the same
For that boy
I’d suffer the pain

I wish I didn’t love him
I wish I didn’t care
I can’t have him, but I want him
Life just isn’t fair
About: MJH

The tension is high
As their hormones race
She makes the choice
That we all have to face

She’s the last to decide
That’s what she thinks
So while she decides
She’ll have a drink

Or smoke some dope
And get real high
To cool her nerves
And let her fly

No one told her how to choose
So she’s choosing on her own
Her parents aren’t there and her friends don’t care
So she makes her choice all alone

She decides to chance it
It’s only one time
Nothing can happen to her
She’ll be fine

The chain of events
Started so small
But changed their lives
For once and for all

She’s pregnant now
After only one time
They committed the crime
Now she’ll serve the time

Her mother’s a wreck
Her father’s enraged
The boys 23
The girls underage

Her parents were too busy
So she thought they didn’t care
Let this be a warning
For all parents to be there

She was looking for love
Not a child of her own
Now the guy took off
And she’s all alone

This could have been prevented
With just three words and a little time
So tell your kids you love them
And guide them through their lives

Let them choose
But show them how
And in the end
They’ll make you proud
