Him
I see Him in you.
My past.
Why does it still haunt me even now?

Connections
Caitlin Jul 2015
I'm looking for a connection,
That I can't seem to find anywhere.
Help.....
Caitlin Jul 2015
The sound that reaches my ears,
It's blissful, almost heavenly.
I turn, trying to find it's source.
Only to see nothing.
Just hear the most beautiful music.

The sound seems to drown my thoughts
Lift me from the hellish state of earth
And bring me to my own imagination
A dream
Finally coming true
A rose
Losing its first petal
The sound
Like nothing I've ever heard.

Is it voice?
Or a violin, maybe a soft trumpet?
I can not tell.
But how I long to know what causes such a sweet melody,
The line moving so delicately within my ears,
It's chords and vibrations,
Breathing life into my lungs again

When the sun goes down
And my head hits my pillow,
This is the song that will be playing
A song that is so pretty
It merely counts as a song
So heavenly
You would think an angel was singing
And everything will end up fine
With this music playing

My dreams were pleasant,
More so than they've been in a long while
This song, oh so sweet, lulled me to a sleep,
So deep, and so beautiful,
I never wanted to wake and face the gruesome day.
Although, I did indeed wake,
My day began much brighter,
As the refrains of the song still in the corners of my mind.

And the song followed me throughout the day
In the form of a bright smile and kind words
A song that became a reason to live
It was great working with this writer- hope you all enjoy!

.....
Caitlin Jul 2015
I want to bleed.
I can keep feeling like this anymore.
Like I'm worthless,
And invisible.
I want to feel something, anything else.

Terrible
Caitlin Jul 2015
I am terrible.
No question about it.
Caitlin Jul 2015
When I was oh, so younger
I used to rule the day
Catching toads
And flying paper planes
Until the lure of pretty girls
Got right in the way
My destiny came calling
And I chased it on the run
Time goes by while tears run smiles
And not every day is fun

The chase was fun,
But oh, how it ended.
They no longer caught my fancy.
I turned to games and friends instead
Until one day, girls started to chase me

And what a merry chase it was
Living and loving just because
Age is a constant gardener
A teacher of self and suffering
The premise of life eternal
An opening of not merely eye
But heart, mind and soul
To find love is to know life
And to know life is life eternal
Captive on a carousel of time
The world is yours, ours and mine

We fell in love and the world erupted in fireworks.
Nothing could have been better.
The pure joy that I felt with her was unrivaled by nothing I've ever felt before.
She was the one.

The one who became my other
Who completed me
Who took me to places love had never shown me
And felt like home
A place to belong
Yes...she was the one


No other could take her place.
She was mine,
Just as I was hers.
We were one, together,
Yet still just me and her.


And in that we found our destiny

Compare
Caitlin Jul 2015
When I saw you with her,
I know I'll never add up in your eyes..
You still like her, I can tell.
I hate being jealous of her.
She's pretty, skinny, has friends who care,
She's had both guys that I've liked..
And then there's me.
Poor, ugly, fat me.
What do you see in me?
I like you and you don't see it..

Change
Caitlin Jul 2015

But I was totally out of my comfort zone, and I changed a lot.
Good change...

That's all I've been saying.
Can't you hear me?
Jun 2015 · 281
To hear.
Caitlin Jun 2015
To hear is a great ability.
Some people can't.
Then there are people who can hear when you aren't talking.
Those are the people who care.
How I wish that person was here today.
I really needed you.

Leadership
Caitlin Jun 2015
I was appointed section leader again this year,
Despite all of the problems and dram that escalated during my term this past year.
I was convinced that I could not lead,
Via all of the talks I had to have with my band director.
And I still am convinced.
The first week of band camp just ended.
And with my section bugging me because I'm not perfect is tiring.
I'm so confused..
I don't know what to do..

I haven't had one yet.

I'm not the only one
Caitlin Jun 2015
You keep telling me that I'm not the only one.
But you don't cry yourself to sleep.
Or cry because you get frustrated with yourself.
You don't care about what people think.
Or care as much as I do for others.
I am the only one.
I'm the only me there is.
Jun 2015 · 204
You and Me
Caitlin Jun 2015
Do you know how much I want to kiss you?
To hold your hand?
To have you love me?

No, you don't.
Of course not.
Why would you?

Sixteen
Caitlin Jun 2015
Only two more days until my time of being 16 years old comes to an end.
I've learned, lived and loved this past year.
I'd like to share some of what I've learned and lived.
1. Never be afraid to take solos, or fight for them.
2. Always remember to have fun, especially in a social setting.
3. Never drink diet soda with mint gum in your mouth.
4. Remember that home is where your heart is, whether if its a house or not.
5. Always sing like you mean it.
6. Never be afraid of your talent.
7. Friends will come and go, learn to move on.
8. Don't go looking for fights- in fact, steer clear of them.
9. Always tell the truth, no matter how harsh, they will thank you later.
10.Family isn't always blood relatives.
11. The people who can hear you when you are silent, truly care for you.
12. Love, endlessly. beautifully, wonderfully.
13. Faith and Grace are two wonderful things.
14. Remember to always love yourself too
15. God will only put you through the fire, to make you a diamond when you come out.
16. Music is the thing that connects generations, countries and language barriers- Give it respect.

Thanks.

Myself
Caitlin Jun 2015
I am frustrated with myself.
Mainly because I know I can do so much better than what I am.
But there's always fear that holds me back.
Fear of messing up,
Of disappointment.
Of letting people down.
Of failing.
I can't let that happen.
I won't let that happen.

I want a love deep enough to rival the ocean.
I want a love that will last longer than forever.
I want a love that will last through the battle scars and wars.
I want a love that is more open than a book.
I want a love with no secrets..

Mom.
Caitlin May 2015
At the age of 16,
I am a mother.
Now they are not own kids.
I didn't give birth to them.
But I am their mother.

They are those I take under my wing.
Those to who I give love unconditionally.
Those who I hold while they cry.
They are my kids.

Mothers
Caitlin May 2015
Happy Mother's Day!
To those who are mothers,
To those giving birth,
To those barren yet love others.

To those who are single dads,
Because you are mothers in your own way.
To the grandmothers, and aunts.
To the mother-in-laws.

To the daughters and sons,
Who no longer have there mothers in flesh.
To the orphans and broken.
To you.

Happy Mother's Day
Because face it,
We've all acted as a mother in one way or another.

Set you free?
Caitlin May 2015
Set me free?
What if I long for freedom,
Yet and comfortable where I am?
In this prison of mine,
That I created?

Set me free?
I'm more dangerous out there than I am in here.
I'm dangerous to myself.
Can't you see?

You can't set me free.
My prison is myself.
I'm locked in with myself.
Set me free?

Do you know how to set me free?

Silent
Caitlin May 2015
Silent.

Without words,
I am mute.
I cannot tell you how I feel. 
I am silent.

Without music,
I don't have emotion.
I can not express myself.
I am silent

Without soul,
I am empty.
I can't feel.
I am silent.

But the catch here,
Is if no one cares,
I am still silent.

Handle with care
Caitlin Apr 2015
This which I am giving to you,
You must handle with care.
It's seen more wear and tear
Than you've ever seen in your life.
It's been bruised and broken,
Mended and glued back together.
Handle with care.
It's seen a lot, and been through a lot.
You must handle with care.
And if you don't..
Well you'll become responsible for some more of that wear and tear,
Those bruised and missing peices.
Another notch in the book.
But I am warning you now-
Handle with care.
My heart is fragile.
Please, handle with care.

The locket
Caitlin Apr 2015
She wore it proud around her neck.
Usually hidden by her hair,
She was the only one who really knew it was there.
It reminded her, that she had love.
It warned her, that she had love.
But she let go.
And so she wears her locket,
The chain like a noose around her neck.
Always there.

When
Caitlin Apr 2015
When you look into my eyes,
Sometimes I wonder what you see.
Do you see how I feel about you?
Do you see the pain behind the walls I built?
Do you see the beauty beneath it all?
Do you see me?
When I look into yours eyes,
I wish I knew what they were thinking.
Can I see your soul reflecting mine?
Can I see the scars of past mistakes?
Can I see the heart of gold that I know you have?
Can I see you?

Look into my eyes.
I dare you.
