I see the way that you look at all but me
I see that you want to avoid my eyes
But I can't say that I see why
Why do you try so hard?

Why do you try so hard?
Is it meant to be that way?
I always thought that it was to be easy.
Was I wrong?

Was I wrong?
To think that there was a spark
To see something i thought existed
Do you see me?

Do you see me?
The drops of salt and water that roll down my face
The red that lines my eyes
Can you see the difference?

Can you see the difference?
Difference between right and wrong
The way light and dark are opposites
Are you pretending now?

Are you pretending now?
Now that everything is clear
Everything is different
I'm sorry to say this, but Good-bye

I'm just one person
One person who wants what every person wants
People always battle
Always stepping on the little people

I am just one girl
One girl that wants what all the girls want
Girls just want to know they are loved
Just getting a broken heart instead

I am just one student
One student that just wants to get by
Students just want to know that their future is safe
Just ending up disappointed

These things that we want just end
Things we thought were real and could happen
We all were just naive
All  we do is hope but getting no where with it.


WHY?

Guys always say “Oh girls are so complicated.” or “why do girls always have to be so confusing?”
Well gentlemen you are no different
You are just as confusing to us as we are to you.
Why must you fight with your fist instead of your words

Why is it that after a fight you can act like everything is normal?
Do you understand what fighting is?
Do you know that it isn’t just some way to get your frustration out?
Can’t you be more civilized and put those caveman ways behind?

Do you realize when a girl likes you or do you only pay attention to the one that you like?
Do you know what it means when a girl befriends you?
Do you see what is right in front of your eyes?
Hello Open up that brain we all know that you have inside!

Pay attention to everyone and you just might
see the light that is right there in front of you.
Can you hear someone calling you?
Or do you dismiss that voice because it’s not the one you want to hear
Open your ears or you might miss the best thing that could ever happen to you.

There are things in life that got us to start asking questions
They are the things that no one can answer
The things that are just left unsaid
Things like "How do you know you are loved"
Is it shown in the actions?
Is it spoken out loud?

"How do you know if you are doing the right thing?"
Everyone has their own definition of the right thing,
   So who's definition do you follow?
"How do you know when you truly know that you know someone?"
Is it by knowing all their secrets?
Is it by knowing their likes and dislikes?
Or is it by knowing what to expect from that person?

So how do we answer these questions?
We lie. We say that we know the answer.
We say that it is in this one way rather than another way.
We pass on our miss guidance to our children and they pass it on too
There is never an ending cycle.

So instead of passing the misgivings on
Such as "A boy picks on you because he likes you"
Lets not teach our daughters to appreciate abuse but
     To teach them to stay strong and speak out
Tell them that only time and experience can give you the answer,
      So keep searching and don't ever stop.

The crushes that we have in life
They are the things that keep us going
Now crush doesn't necessarily have to be on a person
A crush can be on a thing like a tv show or some fantasy or on a hobby

These crushes are what keep us moving on and on
Even if we may not notice it we are living for something
Its just finding that something to live for is the tough part of living

There may be push backs from these crushes
You realize that they are fantasy, they reject
Or you find that it just doesn't bring you any more joy
But that is the fun of a crush, you can change it and not feel bad about it

Have your crushes
What ever people may say
What they might think it doesn't matter
As long as you're happy with how things are

Live life
Dream big
Love long
And be happy no matter what

The ups and the downs
Those are the things that build your character
They shape you around the edges
They make a blurry picture clear

The things that we go through may not be the best of times
They are however the things that change our future
They bring out what is in your heart
Those are the things that we shall remember

There are always going to be experiences that make us cry
They are either happy tears or sad
There are always those people that will try everything they can
To tear away the happiness that is inside of you

They are the people that are jealous because you are happy and they are not
The more you let those people get to you
The more miserable you will be
So stand tall and hold on ‘cause the ride ahead is a tough one

There are these people that tell me that they love me
Then i turn my back and they curse me
I do not hate them but I love them
I love them because I know that they don’t know why I am the way I am

I am me, a child of God
He loves me and He shows me everyday
With every breath and every smile that is shown to me
He is everywhere and in my heart
He told us to love all and spread our love
We say “ I will love who you love” but how many of you actually follow through with that

I know we all have our ups and down
Our roller coaster rides that makes us dizzy
I hope that you understand that no one is perfect
The world has this impression that if you do not meet their terms of beautiful you are ugly

There are kids that are pushed to their limit
Those who are bullied by those who love them
Those that are bullied by those who hate them
I just want to say that i love you
God loves you and we both think that you are beautiful.

No matter what the world may think
No matter what those people think you will always be beautiful
You will always have someone who loves you
So please don’t forget it.
