There are thoughts,
Swirling around in my head,
Meaningful things,
That I left unsaid.
Everyone has taken their pictures of the sun set,
the sun is gone, and its not what people like on postcards
and to show off the friends anymore.

But as the tourists leave the beach in one big crowd,
they fail to notice the moon rising
large and bright behind them
idk...i thought the moon was really pretty, but everyone just left cause there was "nothing left to see"

And he didn't text.
He didn't call.
Didn't write 'Happy Birthday!'
On my Facebook wall.

So when I blow out my candles,
There's one wish I must do.
Not to be yours,
But to get over you.
Sorry... It rhymes...
Hey!

My name is Alice,

and I just wanted you to know,

that you are in my thoughts today,

and everything I do is in your name.

I hope I do your name honor.
Today I "adopted" Ana Marquez-Greene, it's something most of my grade is doing. We receive that name of one of the victims of the Sandy Hook shooting, and promise to do the right thing in his/her name.
Every girl wants to be the one
that a guy falls head over heels over.

I used to have that honor to say
that I was that girl to someone.

But it turns out I was wrong.
Why is it so easy for people to lie?

It makes me half-way-cringe to say it,
But I'm not really good at much...

The little girl who could be whatever she wanted. Where did she go, where did she go?
All these rain drops

are just my tears

You say it's a 'right.' You say it's  allowed to have these- These killing machines. Things are different now. We don't need this, for things have changed.

You just won't give up, huh?
Is it a pride thing? Does it make you feel powerful? Important?
Knowing that the lives of everyone around you,
Cower in the palm of your hand?


And with the simple jolt of a hand,
20 innocent children are dead.

You wouldn't dare say he had the 'right,'
Would you?
