There's this shadow
That follows me eerily around
I'm not sure what it's from
It changes forms often
It's a human
Then a wolf
With fangs that drip with blood
I found it hard to believe
When I found out it was you
You are the one who haunts me in my dreams
Who follows me everywhere
Who so often changes forms
To a form that I often feel like
You seems to know my emotions
And feelings
You seem to know my every move
My every breath
My every emotion and feeling
My every thing
That I do
You know when I sleep
When I sit
When I stare blankly at the wall for hours
You seem to know everything
Except that I know that the shadow that follows me everywhere...
Is YOU

I don't know where these emotions came from
I don't know how to react to them even
I don't want to feel this way
I hate feeling this way
I thought we were just friends
But in my heart, we are evidently more
You never seem to leave my mind
Even though, often times, I wish that you would
I don't want to feel this again
I don't want my heart broken again
There's already too much of it in the world
I don't want to add to the pile of broken hearts
I've been through too much of that
I hate feeling this way
The feelings and emotions often overwhelm me
And I hate it
I will them to go
To leave my body and inner soul
Why won't they leave?
I don't want to have them
Make them go away
I beg of you
Although, I guess you can't
Considering you don't even know I hold them within me
I wish they would go
I wish they would leave
Can't I just live a life of peace?
Can't I live without more heartbreak?
Why can't I just live without them?
Someone take them away from me
My heart is throbbing with the pain and love
My chest is tight with fear and hesitance
I feel as if I can't breath
These feelings and emotions...belong in someone else's body

Some express their feelings through sports
Others express them through reading
There are so many ways to do this
You can do it by punching a wall when you’re angry
Or cranking up the metal music in your room when you’re upset
You can pound on the keyboard when someone has disappointed you
You can make mellow words flow through like a spring of water when you’re happy and joyful
You can dance because that special person is in your life
You can stand in the rain as both salty tears and rain run down your face because you’re sad
You can be silent because you don’t have words to say
You can give a hug because you have pity on a person who is hurting inside greatly
You can hold her close because you love her deeply
You can laugh because something was funny
You can stand still, not breathing because you’re feeling fear
You can sit slowly as you realize something shocking has occurred
You can blink and stand or sit because you’re calm
You can smile because that one thing that they said made you proud
You’re eyes can shine with gratitude
You can yell because you’re steaming mad
And you can write as emotions of happiness, sadness, anger, love, and fear run through you.

If you’re going to judge me then judge me for who I am
Judge me for how I act around you
Judge me justly
Judge me and keep in mind of the things that you’ve done
Keep in your mind that you probably not any better than me
When I curse, keep in mind that you probably have too
When I burst out in rage at someone, keep in mind that you have done the same at one point
When I slam my locker door, keep in mind that everyone has those bad days
When I’m ignoring you, keep in mind that I’m not perfect
When I disobey, keep in mind that you have, too
When I’m sitting in silence, keep in mind I’m either thinking or I’m not in the mood to chat
When I don’t want to talk, I don’t want to talk
When you judge me, don’t judge me by who I hang out with
Don’t judge me by just my negative actions
Don’t judge me by just my positive actions
Judge me by both my positive and negative reactions
Judge me by who I am not who that other person is
But before you judge me at all, get to know me well enough that you can judge me fairly

The wind was bitterly cold outside the small cabin
And she sat alone tonight in her rocker
Sitting by the fire which was nice, warm, and cozy
With her warm blanket in her lap
And a pillow behind her head
But she didn’t feel nice, warm, and cozy inside
Her soul was empty
And her body felt numb
This time of year was always a dread to her dear heart
Her husband had died one too many years ago on a cold Christmas Eve
For some reason, she had just known that something would happen
He had been out in the snow
Shoveling it away
When a blizzard came by
And swept him away
He was found that gloomy Christmas morn
With white snow all around him
His face was ashen and cold
But peaceful and calm
She had wept that day until night dawned upon the sky
And, now, so many years later
She sat by the fire and stared at the flames as they popped and crackled
A single tear rolled down her face
And with a gloomy heart she prayed:
“Dear Father God,
Why did you take him away?
He was so dear to my heart
And just always full of joy
Yet you took him and left me here
With my gloomy heart
Pained soul
Aching body
And tear-filled eyes
What purpose am I to fill?
What is the reason that You have left me here?”

Your my sister
And I love you
With all my heart
I'll never let you go
We miss you very much
I know I'll meet you someday
Just not here or now
You could've been my best friend
And helped me through the days
We could've had so much fun together
But since you are gone
I'll just have to wait

I deserted you
yet you forgave me
i hated you
yet you loved me
i cried
yet you smiled
i gave myself away
yet you took my heart
i neglected you
yet you helped me
i did nothing for you
yet you did everything for me
i was tucked away in my shell
And you helped me out
i discouraged you
yet you encouraged me
i pushed you away
yet you held me tight
i made you go away
yet you let me stay
thank you for helping me
my wonderful friend
