Because of my love of music, most of what i write are songs....Most everything i write doesnt exactly happen to me for real.It all comes from ideas and rhymes and just almost anything i can use to write something because it is what i love to do.For the longest time,i never wanted anyone to see anything that i wrote,and i still kinda don't. But I think i'll post a few things on here just to see what people think. I don't think you would want to,but please don't put anything that i write in anything else or use it in any way without my permission:-) most of these are just parts of a whole piece.. all of everything i put isnt completed on here.I hope some people like it. Even though i don't really care if they don't like it or not. I figure that if everybody wrote only the stuff that they wanted people to like or agree with then hardly anything would ever be written.....

"wasted"
 
wasted, wasted, wasted all my dreams on you,
a nightmare was what i woke up to,
pulled me into a pit of my fears,that's what you seem to do,
I wasted thousands of my tears, just crying over you

"Accidentally"
We used to be so in love
I guess it wasnt meant to be
You want our friendship to be like it was
But you can't hide the fact that you're still the only one for me
 
 
When accidentally our eyes meet at the same exact time
When accidentally we stand by one another in line
When accidentally your shoudler brushes up against mine
When you fall back into my heart again and again,im sure its just an accident.

"Nothing"
Are you living?Do you breathe the air i breathe?
Are you listening? Can you acknowledge me?
Are you seeing? This tragedy i see?
I've never seen such coldness come from a human being
 
I WOULD GIVE UP ANYTHING,IT FEELS LIKE I GAVE UP EVERYTHING
ALL I WANTED WAS A LITTLE BIT OF SOMETHING,AND I GOT NOTHING
 
Are you feeling? Do you catch the tears that fall?
Are you caring?Or do you not do that all?
Are you angry? That i finally got some sense?
And now it's over,and im under, this pressure is intense
 

"Losing It All"
I'm losing my heart, i'm losing my soul,
and right from the start, i lost control
I'm losing my mind, what can i do?
I thought you were mine, and it's your fault too
That im losing it all

 

"Have You?"

Have you ever lost yourself, in someone elses eyes?

And you know that you cant be found, the truth never lies

That you wish you could breathe, without thinking about when

The last time it was that you were breathing beside them

"Last"

So i'm moving on, my trust is broken,

There's no way that i can,spend my whole life hopin,

That this time it might last, my future's clear as glass,

That you were my first love and you were my last

"Okay"

its okay, that it did not last forever,

its okay, that we werent strong enough for this endeavor

its okay, that we were blinded by this feeling,

and its okay, that I am still believing

that its not okay, to leave me here, so far away and away from you

that its not okay, for my heart to break, and you walk away with yours

that its not okay, that I feel this way, we both know it couldnt work

and its not okay, for you to say, that I shouldnt let this hurt

its amazing that it happened, it was great while it did last

and its okay that its over, we can put it in the past

its incredible--you changed me, that I wont forget

but its not okay that goodbye was the only word you ever meant

 

     *Poetry*

I was reading in a magazine the other day when i saw a quote from Dr. Phil.  "People Treat you the way that you let them" and it made me realize that there are people in my life that sometimes do things to me b/c i allow it to happen and not stay strong enough. As silly as it sounds, That quote from Dr Phil inspired me to write a poem, and it is a poem that i want to be motivation for me and anyone else who lets people treat them badly more than once

"Let You"

I won't let you be so hurtful, I wont let you control me,

I wont let you take my rights and all the things that set me free

I wont let you make me cry, or make me lie and say i'm fine,

And i say that i won't let you, but yet I let you everytime.

 

I wont let you make me angry, thats not how i want to feel,

I wont let you convince me that what you think is what is real,

I will not let you win this time, this is where i draw the line,

And i say that i wont let you, but yet i let you everytime.

 

I wont let you stop my living, and i will live long after you,

I wont let you trick me into doing things you want me to,

I won't let you make me a baby, I wont hide and i won't whine,

And i say that i wont let you, but yet i let you everytime.

 

I wont let you call me un-worthy, i deserve much more than this,

I wont let you make me unkind just because thats what you insist,

I wont let you take my dreams of having the life i want to find,

And i say that i wont let you, but yet i let you everytime.

Now I'm finished with these games, I dont want to play anymore,

I will take my broken past and i will walk right out the door,

I have finally got a vision, And i've finally made up my mind,

That the last time that i let you....... was really the last time.

 

 

"Drained"

drained of life, im saturated,

glee is thinned, and pain radiated

the holes within me, dark and black

show the weakness,for the strength i lack,

Theres shock deep within me

everytime i hear you speak,

This feelings got me trapped,i am just too weak

so as you will read this,

think about the night,

that tears poured down from me,

as i began to write,

drained of life, i am also losing sight,

& i'm giving up..i'm too afraid to fight

      "Poor thing"
 
 It happens to other people
 You say "how sad"
 You say "poor thing"
 But when its you
 Its something eles
 Its everything
 
 Started with something minor
 went from there
 To something worse
 The friends you loved
 And thought you knew
 Just disappered
 Felt so weird
 Half Blessing
 Half curse
 It happens to other people
 You say "how sad"
 You say "poor thing"

    "Drift away"
 
We cling to one another
Storm raging around
My head slips under water
You can hear me cry
So I let go
Drift away
Leave your comfort behind
Save us

    "poor thing"  (rape)
 
It happens to other people
You say "how sad"
You say "Poor thing"
But when its you
Its something eles
Its everything
 
Never believe the night mares
never know the pain you caused
never see the scars you left
the things you stole your staring role
In everything lost

You took my body
tore it in half
You took my child hood
My heart beat
My laugh
You took everything I kept for myself
and then your gone
I'm not your poor thing
