Your path has been covered
With broken glass,
And they're wondering why
You've been running so fast.

You're calloused but strong,
You're tough but in pain,
You're unstoppable,
But your glass is blood stained.

Your whole life has been danger,
You can handle anything,
But even the strongest,
Need a safe place to stay.

So come walk with me,
And we'll find a new path,
I will bandage your wounds,
And lead you to soft grass.

Let me be your safety,
We can turn your shattered past,
Into a stained glass window,
Lighting up our new path.

Let go I say, let go
Why are you holding on so tight?
Can't you feel yourself bleeding?
Release all that is inside
Heal these scars that bind
Leave it all behind

Help me please, someone
Is there anyone who cares?
Am I the only one leaving out my past?
I want to let go but I can't
Its just all so hard

Come on my dear
You've got to move on
Learn from your past and have some hope
Use them as learning experiences
Accept what makes who you are
Love yourself so you can love others

Its been so long
How can I let go
Something hurts deep within me
Its killing me inside
I wanna be strong
I wanna move on

You are loved
You are special
Embrace all that is within you
You are never alone
You have a Father
You are a child of God

He was popular, she was just a school girl
He thought he was alone, she thought she was known
He thought he had nothing, The girl knew that he didn't know he had everything. 
He found himself imperfect, the girl thought about how he was famous, good, smart, alive, had a family, had food, had a roof above his head.
He yearned to be perfect, but the girl knew all along that he was.
He waited for something to come, the girl had waited  long enough.
He wanted a distraction, she WAS the distraction.
He thought he was a goner, the girl who hated her birth day was already gone.
He Wanted to run away from the truth, the girl only knew the truth.
He supposed he was lonely, the girl had cried on her special day 'cause no one cared.
He was smart, she had parents screaming for better.
He was talented, she was a mystery, never to be revealed.
He was perfect, the girl realized she'll never be.

I see you,
Confusion written all over your face.
Like you don't know where you are,
Why you're here.

I figure you can't see me.
So I wave,
Run up to you
Then wrap my arms around you.

Do you know I've missed you?
I've run out of tissues so many times,
For crying so long.
But you're here now.

I counted the minutes,
Hours, days, Years 
Until this moment,
I'm so happy.

You don't wrap your arms around me,
But I guess you haven't seen my face yet.
I pull away, centimeters apart,
And hope you recognize me.

Your features haven't changed,
You're as beautiful as you left.
Those hazel eyes,
That amazing smile.

I missed those nights we had,
Now I sleep alone.
But I'm glad you came back,
Life would return to normal.

You still don't understand,
Why I'm in front of you,
But now I'm confused,
Have you forgotten?

You couldn't have.
All those messages,
Those calls,
 My texts.

Don't you remember,
When you would lift me up,
Carry me to safety,
And hug me, reassuring me?

Don't you remember,
When I would lie in your lap,
Telling you stories,
While you stroked my hair?

Don't you remember,
How you teased me,
Making me angry,
But kissing me afterwards?

Don't you remember,
When I would play my guitar,
You would hold me,
And we would sing together?

Don't you remember,
When I would curl up next to you,
Head on your chest,
While you whispered your love for me.

I read your eyes,
As I tell you everything.
But I can see.
You don't remember 
There was never a 'me', after you left.

You don't need to explain,
I can see,
You fell in love immediately,
Forgetting what we had. 

I push you away,
And I see the recognition in you face.
You only realize now, do you?
You were so caught up, hey?

I walk away,
Hearing you scream my name,
But I know you never loved me,
I am so ashamed.

I fell for it,
Like everyone else.
There never was a 'us'.
There never was a 'me'.

I can hear you,
Running after me,
But all I wish to hear,
Are my raging tears.

I am such an idiot,
For believing you cared.
But you were so kind,
So amazing.

So was it all for fun?
Did you just want to play with my feelings?
Or did you love me,
But moved on when you left?

You said you won't forget,
You said you would care,
You said you will always remember,
Said you'd always come back.

But I guess,
More things were said,
Than ever done.

You grab me by the waist,
And try to explain.
But I break free from your grasp,
Like I broke free from your lies.

I wasted precious time,
Thinking you still loved me,
But I guess someone was better,
Prettier than me.

You words echo through the hall,
But I keep walking.
I don't want you anymore,
I'm through with this.

You're still chasing me,
But I'm faster.
I run to a corner,
Curl up and cry.

I can hear you coming closer,
But you don't touch me.
But that's what I need right now,
You.

Deep down,
Past the hate, the hurt,
The pain and the worst,
I realize,

I still Love You

Wait a minute, I think I've figured it out.
You hate me, while I love you.

Guess the feeling isn't mutual.

It's funny, 
How a girl who has talents to stand out, is unnoticed. All the time. 

She sits down silently,
Counting the hours 'till it ends,
While everyone looks past her,
As if she was a ghost.

'Am I invisible?' She asks herself.

She counts,
Everyone acknowledging smile,
Hoping they finally see her,
But is yet to be disappointed, again.

People wave at her,
When she's alone.
But that's all the attention she gets,
That's all she has.

She silently cries,
She knows it's pathetic,
But she only wants to be known,
To be a somebody

Dreams of being famous,
Standing onstage.
But sadly realizing,
It's just a fake.

The one person she loves,
Is wrapped in his own world.
A world where she's the background,
A world where she doesn't exist.

So, it's fair,
These tears streaming down her face,
She wants to stand out,
Be different.

She tries so hard,
With her polite smiles,
Her funny tone,
But it's not good enough.

So, she writes it down,
To the world.
Where people don't see her face
But her words, for once.

She can show her true colors,
Through things she loves,
Which is poetry,
Posted to the universe.

She prays,
That there is someone reading,
Someone who sees through her words,
Gets the clue,
Helps her.

All she has to do, 
Is wait.
But that's what she has been doing,
For her past life.

These tears are for something more,
Something that matters to us all,
But we find it so easy,
That we forget that there are people,
Who can't.

So, I write it down,
To the world.
Where people can't see my face,
But my words, for once.

I write, because I want you to know,
This world will never be perfect.
