It's a new year,
a time for change.
Write the next chapter,
of your story.
Be who you are,
and say what you feel.
Never regret anything,
your story is continuous and real.
So write a novel...
We all have secrets
hidden deep within us.
The words can be rearranged,
just like the turning of a page.
Where lies become the truth,
and the truth becomes a lie.
A notorious and never ending bind,
where desperate actions be confined.
have become tattered and torn.
As if the pages of a book,
have been completely realigned.
Until the pages,
That is the moment,
your story has been shattered and worn.

Wouldn't Change a Thing

I know you don't know,
where all of this is coming from.
And I'd rather it stay that way.
But just remember,
you're all I need.
I wouldn't change a thing,
between you and me.
There were mixed emotions,
from the start.
I just keep reminding myself,
that I never want us to part.
I can finally move on,
knowing that you're here to stay.
I wouldn't want it,
any other way.
In fact I find,
I wouldn't last a single day.
I don't know how
but you a way,
of making my dreams come true.
Maybe it's just,
everything you do.
If we work on this together,
one day our love will last forever.

What is a Sister?

A sister is someone to look up to
she gives you the strength to stand,
even when you're feeling blue.
A sister is a hand enfolded into your own
just a single phone call away,
and she is there when you feel all alone.
A sister is love mixed with patience
she is your home away from home,
Even if she doesn't get paid for maintenance.
A sister is full of fun and galore
she will laugh and joke around,
until you almost fall on the floor.
But, most of all…
A sister is the greatest gift anyone could ask for!

The two of you

The two of you
are so different,
yet you're exactly the same
It makes me feel ashamed,
to know these feelings went untamed.

You both have a special way,
of making me smile.
I wish I could stay,
even if it's just for a little while.

He and I shared,
six months of history.
What could have been,
was left a mystery.
You were there to dry my eyes,
when he hurt me.
You were there and heard my cries,
when he couldn't see.

He's falling for me again,
but I don't want 'us' to end.
I don't want to hurt you,
so where do I begin?

I promised I would never,
break your heart.
and I meant it,
from the very start.

At one point I thought,
he was my Prince charming too.
But now I wonder,
could my Prince Charming really be you.

You're both optimistic,
and I'm just pessimistic.
So what should I do?
Should I run after him?
Or should I chase after you?

I've weighed the option carefully,
and even checked my priorities.
So please don't look me in the eyes,
and say 'It's either him or me! '

Please don't make this heart of mine,
choose between the two of you.
Cause' it sure isn't easy,
and I don't know what to do…

Bad Day

Don't you hate those days,
that are bad in all the wrong ways?
Well let me tell you,
I do too!
Those days just drag on,
and make life blue.

You wake up,
and nothing feels right.
Next thing you know,
your book bag is out of sight.

It was in bed,
where you should've stayed.
Instead you took a shower,
and ended up delayed.

You can't find your headphones,
they're needed for the bus ride.
The music drowns out the noise,
this is where you go to hide.

You pour a bowl of cereal,
in the fridge you find...
There's no milk!
You're already on the brink,
of losing your mind.

Mom walks in and asks,
'What's your deal'
She has no clue,
how frenzied you feel.

You found your headphones,
they were in the dog run.
Why couldn't those muts,
just chew on a dog bone?

Your book bag,
was in the ***** clothes.
How it got there,
who the heck knows.

You wait for the bus,
it comes really late.
Go figure,
you still haven't ate.

You get to school,
and keep dropping your books.
Why couldn't your hands,
be made out of hooks.

This was my day
and I sure hope,
it doesn't stay this way.
For if it does,
I find I may have to go astray!

Pieces of my heart

The pieces of my heart,
I swore would be left broken.
But you came into my life,
like a missing token.
I promised to keep my guard,
now I'm finding it hard.
Whenever you smile,
life seems subsequently worthwhile.
Your kiss is sweet and gentle,
I instantly feel little.
When you hold me in your arms,
everything feels just right.
I hope we never fight.
No matter what we go through,
you're always by my side.
When all I want to do,
is run and hide.
Even on this crazy ride.

I wrote this after my boyfriend and I started dating. Three weeks after a hard breakup I gave him a chance. It took a while but I eventually gave up my guard. We've have been together for a while now and I can actually say he is my best friend and I don't know what I'd do without him. He is my inspiration each day I take on a new challenge.

Studyhall

There's no freedom,
so why even try?
It's not like,
we're gonna get very high.
You get written up,
if you don't do as they say.
Oh Lord...
I guess I'm in,
for a swell of a day.
You work hard,
but it's never enough.
This day just seems,
to be getting rough.
There's no talking.
Why does she yell?
She is making life,
like a living hell.
There are some days,
I just stare at the grass.
When I so badly
want to tell her,
to just kiss my glass!
I'll live life my way,
don't tell me what to do.
Nine times outta ten,
I speak the radical truth.
So tell me I can't,
and I'll prove you wrong.
Tell me what to do,
I dare you.
You'll see a side of me,
and it won't be long.
