I was that girl
a girl no one wanted
no one ever asked on a date
or was invited ever invited to the party

But I never minded
I kept to myself
never trying to fit in
because I knew I never would

I lived in my own little world
I didn't care what others thought
I was who I was and that was it
Until one day

Suddenly everything changed,
when he walked in.

Shout when you are angry
When you are mad
or confused

Shout because of poverty
for those who are sick and weak
Shout for those who cannot

Shout when you are happy
When things go right
Or you are filled with joy

Shout because of peace
For freedom for the enslaved
Shout because you can

Shout for those who cannot
Shout because you can
Raise your voice.

The one who stands alone
Forgotten by the group
No one ever talks to her
Just about her
Ugly, stupid, dorky
Each word like a knife to her heart
But she never fights back
She never stands up for herself
She is no match for the large group
So instead she waits
A damsel in destress
But her knight never comes
But she waits
And with each passing day
And each harmful word
Her faith shrinks
Maybe he will never come

True friends are there to make you laugh
On those days when you feel like you can't even smile

True friends are always will to help you up
Even if it means they may fall down with you

True friends always have your back
Even when the odds are stacked against you

True friends are there to comfort you
When you have been bent and broken

True friends will always be there for you
Don't let them them stand alone.

When I was small
I didn't have to worry
There was no stress, no pain
Kids were never bullied
The worst that could happen to you was catching a cootie

When I was small
Kids talked face to face
No texting or email
We played outdoors
Our imagination was all we needed
Hills and valleys were our kingdoms

I remember these times
And dream I could go back
Dream that life could once again be worry free
And just live in my kingdom of imagination
I dream of going back to when I was small

I need somebody
Somebody to tell me everything is okay
Somebody to make everything okay

I need somebody
Somebody to hold me tight
Somebody to block out the rest of the world

I need somebody
Somebody to pick me up when I've fallen
Somebody to brush of the dust

I need somebody
Somebody who will always be there
Somebody by my side

I need somebody

What if I asked you to like me for who I am?
What if I asked you not to criticize my ever move?
Could you handle that?

And yeah I know I'm imperfect
But I'm only human, no one is perfect
You cant make me perfect

I'm just am who I am
And I'm not changing for anyone
Not anyone

Yeah sure maybe I'm not a genius
But I'm not stupid
And maybe I am kinda dorky
But that's who I am

I'm not changing
I embrace my imperfect parts
And if you look close enough at imperfect, in just the right light
You may find something beautiful and perfect in its own way

What if all life is, is a big nightmare
That all it is, is a dream
That someday we will wake from this on going nightmare
That maybe life truely is great
The is no world hunger, global warming, or death
Maybe there is world peace, true love
And all we need is to wake up to find it?
Someone please wake me up

You were all I had
The only thing holding me together
And now your gone
Leaving me to face to world
All alone
A billion to one

You left me standing there
Back to the wall
Trying not to fight just run
But I have nowhere left to run
All alone
My back pressed to the wall

I brace my self as the world floods towards me
I close my eyes
And my muscles tighten
All alone
Is it even worth fighting?

Trust is like a glass
Perched on the edge of a table
Some people will push it farther on
Others will knock it off
And it will shatter opon the floor
If you choose to pick up the pieces
It will be painful, each sharde will leave a scar
But the glass can be put back together
Though it will take time
Once mended it will be hard to keep the glass on the table
But with care you can
The glass can be fixed, trust can be reformed
But both will leave scars

Some times I just want to be forgotten
For the world to forget about me for just a while
Let me sit alone and think
Give me space to clear my mind
The world is to crowded
People always near
Some times I just need space
I just want to melt away and become invisible
Some times I just want to be forgotten

It will control you
It will force you to do things you cant explain
It will twist your mind, and change you thoughts
You will be the perfect instrument of fear

It will break you
It will push you over the edge
It will destroy the things you care about most
You will be the perfect instrument of fear

It will lie to you
It will tell you everything is wrong
It will tell you you are alone
You will be the perfect instrument of fear

Fear hides in all of us
Fear will be your downfall
You will be the perfect instrument of fear.

People are always asking
What comes next?
What happens after this life is done and gone?
Well what about right now?
The future will come but right now we live in the present
Live life now
Because when you finally reach that day in the future
Your going to look back on this life
And if you don't live life now you'll regret it
Because there is no going back
When you reach you last day
What will you think of your life
Will you regret?

You live in a place, where you will be judged,
Not by your intelligence or talents,
For here beauty is of utmost importance,
What you wear is all that matters,
You live in a place,
Where many are rich,
Even more are poor,
The poor are scattered among among the streets,
Well the rich sit inside to feast,
You live in a place,
No matter how imperfect,
It is yours,
This is your home.

Love is a funny thing
Just when you think you've found it
It vanishes
Then when you finally have it
It just seems to shatter in the end
It never seems to last long enough
It just turns into hate and sadness
And they never seem to go away
But yet we still love
We risk it all just to take a chance
Trying to find someone worth risking it for
And if we look hard enough
Sometimes we do
Sometimes we find that someone

I am afraid of the dark,
and no not the kind that fills the night sky,
or any kind that can be illuminated,
For I am afraid of the darkness inside me,
the darkness that threats to break free,
any day now I fear it shall be released,  
with each passing day it grows larger and larger,
soon the cage I have built it will burst,
and I will be left to fight it.

In a world full of signs and maps
Some how I still find myself lost
Never knowing which direction to take
Or which path to follow
Most of the time I guess
Following and path for the time being
Sometimes I hit a dead end
Then have to go back to where I started
But that's okay
The paths are always there
I just have to be willing to travel
