She's one of a kind,
Unique to us all,
With a body so slender,
And the opposite of tall.

She's a petite little girl,
With a big personality,
Always being creative,
And has a lot of originality.

A dancer, and talented,
In many other ways,
She withholds potential,
And will for the rest of her days.

Stronger than any mountain,
With a heart twice that size,
A little rough around the edges,
But I'm so glad she's alive.

Life shoves her to the ground,
But she picks herself up,
She's so strong, though she feels
No stronger than a paper cup.

I can't imagine my life,
Without her daily inspiration,
Shake off the dirt, pick yourself up,
No time for hesitation.

She tells herself, I can do it,
To make it through every day,
She is an inspiration to many,
Because she will never give way.

She's been through so much,
And not too many are aware,
Dealing with pains, that for some of us,
Would be too hard to bear.

She never gives up on us,
She is the rock that holds us steady,
Because, no matter what life throws at her,
She will always be ready.

Dear Mom and Dear Dad,
I am alright, I swear,
But you see, I have lied,
I am here, not there.

I was going to a friends house,
Or at least that's what you thought,
But once I arrived there,
It was a party that we sought.

You should be disappointed,
This isn't how I was raised.
I'll spend the night with strangers,
Alcohol, and a smokey haze.

Don't worry Mom and Dad,
I promise I'll be alright,
Like when I promised you that,
I was with my friend, spending the night.

Well we were spending the night,
Just not at her house,
She told her mom we were
Sleeping over with someone else.

We had our schemes worked out,
You never suspected a thing,
In the end, everything was always fine,
Or at least, that's how it seemed.

I'd come home a mess,
Halfway through the next day,
Saying, we were up late last night,
To get you to go away.

I'd come home and shower,
To rid myself of my sins,
Oh, and sophomore year in high school
Is when this all began.

I'm all out of options,
I'm out of opportunities,
You were a sickness,
And I lacked immunity.

Now no drugs can cure me
Or my love sick heart,
You'll be what killed me;
You'll tear me apart.

Being sick can be nice,
Because people take care of you,
And you can tell who really cares,
And which friends are true.

But as the sickness continues,
Your friends will run thin,
And the only thing that keeps you going,
Is your heart, beating within.

Your heart beats slowly,
It's been weathered and damaged,
Now it's barely pulsing,
All wrapped up and bandaged.

You'll be what kills me,
As I'm near my last breath,
Let that sink in,
And I meet my death.

She has potential,
Greater than any mountain
And for her, obstacles are nothing,
Every goal is attainable.

So young and so strong,
So brave and talented,
An outstanding young woman,
Who loves to be challenged.

She'll amount to the most,
And she'll go far in life,
She'll defeat her biggest wars,
And even her smallest strife.

I can't say where she'll end up,
Or what it is she'll be doing,
But I hope its something grand
That she is pursuing.

A dear friend of mine,
She will always be,
I will always love her,
Unconditionally.

My love,
You were the
Light in my life,
The reason to
Awake
Each and every
Morning.
Seeing you, no doubt,
Had it's rewards,
And no
Downfalls.
You gave me life,
And helped me live it.
You breathed life into me,
Each and every moment
Of each and every day.
Your oxygen;
You;
Gave me a reason to be here.
But you never came to
My rescue
In my time of need.
I needed you most,
And you didn't bother to
Listen.
You left me,
And left me wondering,
Why?
But that is the, why,
I'll never know
The answer to.
I'll grow old,
Telling my grand kids
The story,
And they'll ask me why,
But that is the, why,
I'll never know
The answer to.

Close your eyes,
Shut them tight,
Your mind is restless,
And it's late at night.

Your thoughts keep racing,
Your head is pounding,
And before you know it,
Your alarm will be sounding.

You need to rest,
Trust me, dear,
Go to sleep
And ignore your fears.

A new day is starting,
As this one comes to an end,
Gather your last thoughts,
And let the days mend.

You needn't worry,
Be anxious, or have fear,
No matter how far I am,
For you, I'll always be here.
