I wish I were a bird
I could make a beautiful song and be heard
I wish I were a flower
I would only smell sweet, and never sour
I wish I were a train
I could have the path already laid out in my brain
I wish I were an adding machine
Only as a genius I would be seen
Once I was a bird
I could sing but no one understood a word
Once I was a flower
I only lived an hour
Once I was a train
I had to work all day, even in rain
Once I was an adding machine
I had no feeling

I wish I could write
Of beauty and perfection
Of the sheer power of your eyes
That takes my breath away

I wish I could write
Of happiness and peace
Of the comfortable bliss
Of coming home in your arms

I wish I could write
Of love and affection
Of what you make me feel
Of what you mean to me

My words are sorely lacking
Never enough to tell you
That being with you is exquisite and exhilarating
That you light up my life in every way
And I love you with my entire being

So many layers I must reveal
So many hats I must wear
So many faces I must present

You see some clearly
Others you have yet to even glance upon

Please do not mistake me for someone who gives up easily
Likewise do not mistake me for a fool

I have learned to separate what I want to be to you
And what I am to you

Nights pass me by whenever I'm awake
I wait for the wind to take my call
It pass me by, it makes me shake
As I wait for you to build my all

Light rays pass me by whenever I'm up
I wait for the train to give me a ride
It passed me by, it did not stop
As I wait for you to be by my side

Rain drops pass me by whenever I'm conscious
I wait for the sun to dry my tears
It passed me by, it did the obvious
As I waited to be with you all this years

After all, I guess I was never awake
As I waited for you to love me back
Love passed me by, it made me break
I guess I have to wait to be back on track.

You are the very best kind of liar.
The kind that lies to my emotions.
The kind that makes me weak,
Makes me believe,
Makes me feel.

You tell lies to a person's heart.
You lied to mine.
Time and again, you proved your skill,
And I proved my foolishness.

You are the kind of liar
That speaks with such honesty.
You're sorry.
You'll be there for me.
You are the liar that lies
To the desperate heart.
That deceives the reason
And banishes the doubt.
The kind of liar that makes
Me believe
That I'm lying to myself.
That you were there.
Are there.
Will be there.

You are the best kind of liar.
And me,
I am the worst kind of fool.

Tell me again,
how I'm not good enough.
Tell me again,
how I must strive to be better,
in order to be accepted
not only by the best colleges,
but also by my peers.

No one likes a stupid girl, right?

I'll bring home a B as a final grade,
but you'll stick me in tutoring anyway,
Because of what a test grade has to say.
Is this encouragement?
Or is it simply what you're using,
to mask the disappointment?

Don't think I can't see it.
You're saying with a smile,
that this will be good for me,
but in reality, you think I need it,
just to get by.

Tell me again
to try harder.
Just signal me with your eyes!
I don't need you to voice it.

Tell me again
Tell me, over and over,
and over again.
And with every time you voice your opinion,
I'll scream louder,
I know.

I know I am not good enough.

One day I will lose my voice telling you.

Thunder, wind, rain
All the affects of friendship
Rain being tears
Thunder being loud voices
Wind being hurtful words
The storm that comes with blue sky
All worth it though
All the tears are worth it
All the hurt voices are worth it
All the Brocken hearts are worth it
There all worth it for one happy day with you
