Standing tall,
Reading over my shoulder,
I lay in your shade,
Reading word after word,

As the breeze pick up,
Your arms fan me,
Turn the heat away,
Your leaves crash against each other,

The sound soothes my mind,
I relax listening and wondering,
My mind drifts from the book and into my own world within,
Things swirl around in uneven patterns,

Then the rain begins to fall,
Though my dear tree you do provide shelter you are not enough,
I must run to my home,
To the place I belong.

Turning in circles running away,
Is this how you want to play?
Ill chase you till I fall,
This is not a bluff but I dare you to call,

I’m stronger than I look,
Everything I have had has once been took,
I don’t care how you see me,
What you think I am going to be,

You think your something new,
Baby real life needs to come to you,
I will get to you and let you see,
See how it is to be me,

You want to make me cry,
All you are going to do is make me sigh,
You can swim through all of the tears I have shed,
You would rather be dead,

Think I’m morbid,
That’s something I don’t forbid,
I will scream and yell,
Sometimes my life feels like

I want to run away like you do,
Pretend everything I think isn’t true,
But then I would have nothing,
I would be like you and wouldn’t that be something,

You say the same,
But let me tell you this is no game,
Run and hide,
My feelings are not going to subside,

I am nothing like you,
Thank god that is not true,
Sometimes I may feel like I am all alone,
But at least I know I am all my own.

Falling slowly on the ground,
Some perfectly round,
Some big some small,
One short one tall,

Snow is falling,
Parents calling,
Children playing,
All wishing all wanting.

When I look in the mirror I’m not sure who I see,
This girl looking back at me,
She is sad and tired,
She has nothing left to give,
It’s hard to realize what I feel inside,
So dark,
So afraid,
Not even there,
Some people look,
Some people stare,
To see if I am really here,
My eyes began to tear,
I need something new,
Something to come into view,
It’s time to see,
The girl who used to be me.
