How can something so painful,
Be so beautiful at the same time?
These thoughts washed over my mind
While the bath water washed over my scars,
A remembrance of destructive times in my life
Everyday I put on clothes, I am reminded
Of the pain he caused me
But the pain comes and goes
Like he often did before;
Came and went as he pleased,
Used me to his advantage.
Every time he did, he took pieces of myself away with him.
He took and took
Until there were no more pieces to take;
Because, to his delight, they'd already been stolen
From him of course.
All at the blossoming, ripe age of thirteen.

Sierra, don’t be so hard
on yourself.
Treat yourself as if
you are the world’s treasure
because that’s exactly what
you are.
I know sometimes you feel
as if you hold the world
on your shoulders
but I’m here to tell you
you’ll be okay
and to just breathe.
Stop giving second and third chances
to people who didn’t exactly
deserve the first.
It’s in your heart to
always see the good in people
but you shouldn’t feel guilt
for the times you have to
let go.
The world is yours,
I want to go out
and discover it.
Never be afraid to take
that jump,
someone will always be
there to catch you.

I've got one thing I like from you.
And it's not very hard to do.
All you gotta do is be willing to do.

Send your love my way.
Like I be sending mine to you.

Love, this is my love request.
Yes, my love request to you.

You been selected to accept my invitation.
But realize my love isn't a consolation.
Cause still to this day love rules many nation.

This is my love request to you.

Like many fairy-tales written in books.
Our will have a happy ending too.

All we are is nothing but a blanket covering the world.
Nothing more than a piece of clothing covering its ******.
We are a split second in the handles of a clock;
the sole whim within the imagination of reality.
An sporadic ****** when riding what we so call life,
but it doesn't really last enough to take another ride.
Our skins are filled with nothing but pure lust
and our bones are only nothing more than dust.

We are a mere heartbeat within the world's heart.
The blink of an eye within the history of humanity.
We are one more pattern in a sequence that never ends.
The fading echo of the voices of society's insanity.
We are the vague flashback of a future we will never live.
A small particle of water in a falling raindrop.
The modifying adjective structuring a sentence of our story.
The rush to the eye of a single fallen teardrop.

What else are we but the literal meaning of nothing?
The same kind of nothing which ignorance finds in art.
We brought nothing to the world but our own life
and nothing but life we will be taking when we depart.
We were born and built out of nothing
and so nothing shall then be our ending;
Nothing, as flowers when they are withered;
Nothing else, shall we ever be considered.

What kind of life is this where we can never be together?
Our dreams of meeting eye to eye have been shut down forever.
I thank the God of all the world for creating you and me,
But how he chose to map our life, I never will agree.
I've heard about your beauty, and I've longed to see your glow.
I wonder what you're like, and I hate that I don't know.
When I come out you start to leave in the opposite direction.
I try to make you stay a while and glimpse on your perfection.
It seems that we've been taking turns coming out to play.
God has never let us coexist; together Night and Day.
I, the sun, will never count the stars with you at night.
You, the moon, will never spend a day with me in sight.
I guess that it's our destiny to live this long life separate.
Tragic love's not only made for Romeo and Juliet.

I grew up with a girl
who had a free spirit
and a lovely personality

She adored her father greatly
But then one day
he up and left

She had lost one of the things
she had loved the most
and went on a search
to fill a hole

It started with kissing boys
and sipping beer
but spiraled downward

Soon she was
******* staragers
choking down pills
and not coming home on school nights

Her mom was too busy
to even notice her decay
She just looked the other way

I want to shed a tear
every time I see her
because I know
that isn't who she wanted to become

I wish I could explain how much I love you
but those emotions can not be put into words
so I will never be able to let you know how much you mean to me
not even a sliver of what I feel you will understand

I'm sorry I hurt you in the past
It's the biggest mistake I ever made
you cared about me
and I threw it away
I threw you away
but I was the one who was a piece of trash
I regret that I didn't take in your love
I regret that I pushed you away

You are the only guy
who has loved me
and cared for me
and treated me like a lady
what else did I want from you?
I don't even remember.

I know that I am mean to you sometimes
sometimes I hope you will say something mean back
but you never do
you roll with the punches
and I'm sorry that I keep hitting
I just want a reaction
something, anything
but your face is a stone
and I don't know what you are thinking
I hope it's about me though

I wish I could let you know how much I care and I wish you would just care too.

It is difficult to laugh
than to cry.
It is difficult to live
than to die.

It is easy to do wrong
than to put something right.
It is easy to forfeit,
all without a fight.

It is easy to yarn
than to share.
It is easy to be indifferent
than to show that you care.

It is difficult to sit
and to patiently wait.
It is difficult to love
rather than to hate.
