follow me i'll show you the way

There is a lot about me that no one knows. I think that is how everyone is though. If you stop and think really hard you could probably think one a few things that no one really knows. They may not be heart-stopping secrets or jaw dropping facts, but they factor into your life somehow and help make you who you are. One thing that only few people know about me is that I used to write poetry. I still do sometimes when I'm really bored or something pops in my head but not very often. I never thought I was any good, though the few people I have let read some stuff thought it was pretty good. So I figured I'd put some of my older stuff up here.

reaching out towards the light
knowing this is so not right
looking for your darling face
wishing to see your lovely grace
wanting you to hold me tight
tears fall down but i try to fight
not wanting you to see me crushed
i give out a sigh and all is hushed

sometimes i lie awake thinking about you
how we used to hang out and all the fun stuff we used to do
i look at the star lit sky
as a tear falls down i wonder why
why did it end how is it fair?
why aren't you lying beside me right here
i made a mistake everyone does
i cant believe you left me for good

i saw your face and it made me smile
my butterflies suddenly went wild
i tried to hold the excitement in
but as you came closer my feelings kicked in
i started to giggle and smile like a fool
but you smiled back and started giggling too
i got all excited but then looked again
you walked right by to another girl

Sometimes we fight and sometimes we fret
but there is one thing we cannot forget
the good times we have
the memories we've made
the stupid mistakes that make us cave
we have too much sugar and stay up way too late
but when it comes to our love it's the furthest from hate

My head is in a fog my thoughts are all unclear
people whisper all around me but i still hear
their words cut me deep but the scars you cannot see
i hide what i feel i don't trust people to see the real me
i want to open up but i fear that if i do my biggest fear will come true
that the ones i love won't love me any more
and id be left alone forever more

I hate these thoughts that haunt me lingering in my head
the tears that fall down i wish i were dead
i can never sleep I'm my own enemy
trapped in the past i don't trust my own memory
i hide in the hallways keeping my head down
no one notices or wants me around
one day i will just give up and disappear
just because no one cares

Look in my eyes, you'll see my soul
Listen to my heart, a the stories untold.

Make me whole again,
i really want to live,
get me outta this darkness,
help me see the light,
give me the hand i need,
and please hold on tight..

your standing over there
my heart is in despair
i don't know what to do
i screwed up now she's with you
we went together so perfectly
but now she's the only one you see
you've forgotten all about me
left me in your past
but I'm standing right here
and i don't know how long I'll last

lets stop all this bullshit
I'd rather hear the truth
give up the silly charade
look me in the eyes
tell me the horrid secretes
that make you tell those lies

the scares are a constant reminder
of the bad things in my head
the smile plastered on my face
hides my want to be dead
behind the scares and all the pain
is the hope that keeps me sain

this is how it works with you and me
the future is a blur the details we cant see
things are getting worse these days
we all live in such different ways
our paths don't cross as much as they did
and our hearts aren't what they used to be

i live in a world that changes alot
with every book comes a different new thought
im friends with harry potter and i've lived on a ship
ive gone to the moon and traveled with kip
when problems arise i just start to read
ive eaten green eggs and even green ham
ive traveled alot with my good friend sam
i sat next to lincolin when he was shot
scientists told me why lava is hot
a jazz quartet invited me to play
i love my little world its never the same

Well night ya'll.
