"on the narrow porch they sit, and wait, and sit
in wheel chairs, behind walkers, too many
like goldfish who crowd the surface
for flecks of food..."

their forgetful minds
but remembering hearts
you wonder if she knows
it's you
her mind doesn't make the connection
but her heart feels the love
like a mother and her son
not knowing how to speak
but loving without question

the dementia taking over
her mind once brilliant
now the light dimming
it's hard and she tries to remember
not wanting to let go
like a solider in battle
she does't want to loose this fight

you see her for the last time
replaying the memories
like your favorite song
over and over again

dedicated to my nana who passed this time two years ago year~i'll love you forever <3
through your eyes
you see the smiles
and laughter

through your eyes everything
is okay

in my eyes
the smiles are fake
hiding all the pain
and hurt

those laughs
just helping the cause
hiding what's inside

my eyes see it all

open your eyes
and maybe you'll see
this life i live

isn't all it's cracked up to be

"I kissed the scars on her skin
I still think you're beautiful
And I don't ever wanna lose my best friend.
I screamed out, "God, you vulture (you vulture),
Bring her back or take me with her."

so many times i can recall
wiping her tears away
so broken and so small
her frail heart, betrayed

repeating myself over and over again
just one more night
one more day
keep trying

i told her
if i can do it you can too
baby just for me
without you

there would be no me

~anonymous
"We all have something to say, or something to ask
I don't live in a cage, it's none of your business

Gonna say this clear so you can get it straight
You don't know a thing about me"

I've lived in this skin
through all the days you haven't
trying to fix me
break down all my walls

these wounds aren't healing
these cuts i'm feeling
this emptiness is filling

each wall is being broken
torn down piece by piece
your beginning to see
who i really am

aren't you scared

~anonymous
your screams
are the only ones
i enjoy

your smile
can cure
all the pains of today

even after my worst hour
my headphones
your voice

singing to me
telling me
it will all be ok

this is the world i’m living
i sit here wondering
how did i get here
and how did
you
save
me

You're the reason I've figured out why they name hurricanes after people.

She was a girl
No one ever chose
For teams or clubs
Dances or dates

She was a girl
No one ever noticed
Sitting in the corner of the room
Always alone

She was a girl
Left outside in the freezing rain
For the longest of times
With no one to hug or hold

She was a girl
That held everything in and let nothing out
It was only her eyes that revealed the story of her pain
Being left out like garbage everyday

She was a girl
Who never spoke
Yet didn’t need words to be heard
One day you will finally notice

Darker than the sky,
As the sun's blacked out,
By swirling clouds,
Swimming above the trees.

They hold a world,
Full of mystery,
Hope and regret,
That only their owner has seen.

From all the emotion,
That's hidden deep within,
It's the only part of the person that can be picked apart,
From behind their concrete walls.

No matter how strong their outsides may seem,
Their eyes are like mirrors,
Showing reflections of who they really are,
Waiting for someone to break them down.

It's a challenge.

Because nobody really knows,
What a person truly feels,
Until they truly,
Look into someone's eyes.
Im gone
Drifted away
So far down
I cant be saved

My innocence is torn
I cant go back
I must move foward
And forget the past

It haunts me day and night
Reminding me of what I've done
It lurks above my shoulders
Ripping me apart piece by piece

Its lies behind me
But has the power of my future
They will always be here
They're carved in stone

I can see myself a NHL hockey player
I can see me haveing millions of fans
I can see me scoreing the game winning goal


We will all see me as a superstar
We will all see a huge smile on my face when I win the Stanley cup
We will all hear the crowd chanting my name


You feel like a god at the end of the day for giving that kid your autograph
You feel completed when your coach tells you great game kid
You feel amazed at the end of the day for who you are
