Lights jumping acrossed basement walls
Music playing to loud
And people standing far too close
Kisses exchanged in the heat
Of a sweaty basement
A sticky floor, covered in glitter and alchol
Girls bending over
Guys eyes full of hunger
Hips sway to the beat,
getting nasty with the heat

The next exercise of the day will be......

A mind game, is what they should say
A game where you push
And push, push ups and push yourself

A game where mind over matter
Is no longer a saying, its prayer

A game where in your mind, you remind
Yourself its all for the greater good

A game where "i wish i could"
Becomes i can and will

A game where pain is welcome in your legs
Because you love it there, you put it there

A game where you push so hard
Your vision is blurry and so are your limits

The next exercise of the day will be
Pushing the limit

I was told
110 percent is just effort and excuses
I didnt understand but i know now
Love is 110 percent
You can give everything annd anything
Do everything you can
But the results still fade
They fade, they fade
Just as fast as only giving 10 percent
But you're left with an aching heart

Some things,
Are so engraved in you
You carve them into your skin

We were always the elephant
The elephant in the room
Of are they dating
And one day the peices
They Fell into place
And the butterflies swarmed
My heart skipped a beat
And my stomacj fluttered
Because the elephant was beautiful
And now instead of beimg ignored
We bask in its odd beauty
As butterflies swarm about us
And we arw filled with
Elephants and butterflies

Something about you always had me
Looking longingly for your eyes
For your touch, your smile
Your heart, your laugh

Even when we were in tears
Friend zoned but sheilds down
As our hearts poured out
Below the stage and on

The year never talked
I never forgot, i always watched
Everydance seeing you and her
But not your smile, not the one i knew

Suddenly everything changed
You sat 10 feet away i know
Because i counted the steps everyday
And eventually i didnt have to

On a bumpy buss
More than our butts were shaken
But our hearts too, the realization
Thay i belong With you

The month of hell
I knew what to do, but couldbt bear it
Heart torn in two
giving the bigger half to you

The best decision,
Crying in my car but knowing its okay
As you stood from far away
I could see the worry in your eyes

The last month of school
Kept low, to be kind
But everyobe knew
But i was happy, cause i was with you

And now, now, i know
That all of it was worth it
I can wake to your green eyes
And your smile, and whisper "i love you"

You say im strong
But i dont see it

I dont see, the resilience you see in me
I dont look at my facing of adversity
As stregnth but as necessity

I dont see my lack of tears
Over years of thing gone astray
As a stregnth but as weakness
That i didnt show them less

You see the tears and call them honesty
I call them guilt, that you see me like this
That i am not as strong as i should be

This is not stregnth
But a showcase of my emotional stupidity
And my refusal feel until its to much
Its not stregnth that i hold back tears
Its a weakness that
i have come to beleieve Is a necesity
