okay never
I guess things just happen for a reason.
I guess I'm not suppose to be happy.
I guess I always have to be the strong one.

But why doesn't other people see what
I am feeling or why don't they care about me?

I guess I'm just invisible to everyone.
I'm just normal
I'm just boring
and when I tell you about myself
I just know you'll end up snoring
but know that I
won't runaway
when you tell me your different...
I'll listen to what you have to say
and always know I don't want to be
just another guy to break your heart
but these forces of fate
are determined to keep us apart.
I know you know
my feelings are true
you can see it in the way
I look at you.
Where did all the colours go
I'm not quite sure
if I'll ever know
if all the colours
just went away
all that's left is black and white
and course who could forget grey.
No warm oranges or reds
no cool greens or blue
no more purples or violets
no cold" I love you's"
just grey storm clouds
to wash the colours away...
Let's open a book
and read the first page.
Once upon a time
in a long forgotten age
there lived a young girl
she didn't possess any magic powers
and she lived in a house
not locked in a tower
in fact that girl
why she could even be you
let's imagine she is
and make this story come true.
You could be my Snow White
the most beautiful of them all
or you could be my evil queen
your jealousy will be your downfall.
You could be my Cinderella
your true beauty will be revealed at midnight
or you could be my Rapunzel
your hair truly is a magnificent sight.
You could be my Alice
lost in a wonderland inside your head
or you could be my sleeping beauty
exploring new lands while asleep in your bed.
You could be my little mermaid
with your enchanting voice
or you could just be yourself
because honestly that would be my choice...
Sitting in the corner
lost in a maze
listening to songs
about the guy not getting the girl
they're just so much more heartfelt
than those songs
with the fairytale endings.
writing or singing about what you don't have
can make your heart feel empty
but at least we're not lying to ourselves,
writing can be like going through a maze
the start can easily be found
but then you get lost somewhere in the middle
and when you find the end
you can still feel lost
so we go back to the start
and become lost
all over again...
The Maze represents what I'm writing, I'm lost in the words I'm writing down whilst listening to the songs.
If you wrote something like this
for someone like me
would I manage to smile
and feel more happy.
If I opened up my eyes
would it help me to see
or am I still blinded
by your own misery
what's that you're saying
oh sorry
you thought this
was meant to be about me...
To everyone else you're just the quiet girl who sits at the front of the class
But to me you're one of the most beautiful and interesting people I know.
If I told you that you mean
something to me
could you open up your mind
and see yourself more clearly
don't you understand
you don't need to be royalty
you're just as great
as a new song from Demi
so let's stop pretending
that we're not who we want to be
let's start looking in the mirror
and liking who we see.
So let's stop lying to ourselves
we're just as good
as everyone else
don't let anyone bring you down
let's just paddle ahead on this ocean of emotion
and let's stay happy and not frown.
So don't let them tell you,
that you're not great
let's not be consumed
by our own hate
for the person we see,
let's decide our fate,
so don't let it bring you down
or you'll get cut
by the mirror shards on the ground,
but you're still here,
you're still around,
you're important.
So don't cry when I can't be found,
just look inside you
and hear the sound
of these words
inside you're heart
you're meaningful, important,
and if you feel sad just go back to the start,
and read this over and over again, until you understand.
I won't stop writing until you're smiling,
and only then this poem will end.
Just remember no matter what, life is only as great as you make it. : )
If you're hearts broken
i'd love to say I could fix it
but I'm hopeless
and I just can't help you
because you're afraid to tell yourself
that you love you
because you might not love you back the same
if you see yourself as beautiful
than you will think you're beautiful as well
and if you believe that you've got a great mind
then you'll never hate being around you
and you keep those feelings hidden
then you will never know
just how
you feel about you
telling you is not up to me
nor he or she or anyone other than you
so don't be sad or you won't be glad
because the one that you love will be crying because of you
but when you smile at them
they can't help but smile back
because you love you
you just have to let you know...
