Today I write this poem for you, so listen hard, and true It's a poem to sing about your life sending silky echoes through the air A poem to speak of your unjustice- life just isn't fair? Your home is chilling, body cold mothers criticize your hair Stop using me as an example; just be happy standing there I'm listening to you, fannatic I'm enjoying your great smile just give it time, life gets better try to give it a while? Your eyes are brilliant, those tears don't suit them your hands so warm for me to touch let me hold them for a while, and things will cool down, just that much My friend, you're life is fine, but you, m

Would anybody like to learn a lesson, here, or two? Would anybody like to learn what she has done to you? She's thrown you up and tossed you out, and yet it's still to her you come to pout She's led you on and cut you off, and still when you're thirsty, you'll go to her water trough I can't believe that you have fallen so far for this baffoon I can't believe that you have run so hard to praise her raspy tune She is the reason I've thrown up the one I'm cutting out This lady has no drink for me, I won't run to her spout her "voice"- it cannot captivate me because I am really listening I hope you've a lesson learned, a problem

hidden in the dryer waiting for it's rotation impatience is the word as the giggles burst and I try not to be heard waiting for someone to come and find me it wobbles as mother opens the door "Shhhh!" Walk away quietly my neck is bent my back is aching but I'll sit here, just keep on waiting it's too much fun to give in now as mommy looks at me a silent knowledge for only her and I to see Come on and open up the door you're sure to find me I can't be lost forever what happens if you press the button? Will I go round and round in a swoosh of warm, dry air or will I die waiting for you to rescue me I hyperventalate The

This boy, he says to the girl says that they're over, he's done with it can't lead her on, it wouldn't fit Says he just doesn't care not that way, not anymore not in his heart; never there He lets her cry right on his shoulder lets her choke on this broken boulder it's stopped beating in her chest Says he loves her still just in the wrong way asks if he should stay And she says Why? She wants for so much more to let her voice go free but he's no right to hear because as he's leaving, as she restrains her love stained fist, he asks- no, dives, for one last kiss. One last stab, one last gloat She would have been okay,

Shivers running up my spine knowing that there's never time Wondering when I'll see you waiting 'til I get my high Patient for the kick The caffeine, it won't come I'm really not an addict guess I'm just over-run Come on coffee, wake up and give me my day.

Let me write and let me write let me write tonight We all know I can't live without these broken words written in my head Without these shattered feels tossed on down like needles they've caused these scars, may they never heal. Why won't I let them heal? Please just let me write pouring out the lines makes everything alright ink onto the pages fingers to the keys Makes it all so real passed from you to me to you know it comes from me. Make it all okay, it all go away the jumbled things are in my mind bouncing about where I can't hide Don't tear me away I have to write I'll fight, I'll scream- I'll bite I Must Writ

Just don't leave I know we've been through this before but every day, I say it more and more The rain is falling in my eyes; a never ending, false disguise And I know we've been through this before so why not again? Why can't you ca-an't you tr-y? My voice is choking, throat- it whispers and these things you say- they keep on hitting me Just don't leave me again I can't deal with pain again I gave us up then sought us out so what's going on? Are we enough, or are we out? How many times have we tried, without you on my side How many fights have we fought unspoken and unsought So Please Just don't leave I know we've b

Do you like it? Being twins, that is... I don't know, is it different? Hey, this is my story, NOT HIS Is it hard, him just like you? What are you saying with him there, I'm nothing new? Have you looked at me- I'm a girl. If that's not different enough you've got some problems with seeing don't be so rough. This is my brother not my joint mind step off, don't bother there is no "my kind" This is my brother: he's nothing like me, he wears all black... and I'm named after a tree. But now, in the end I see what your words are saying even if you aren't This is my brother he's not in my mind yet he knows all my thoughts c

I am simply just an only girl just an only me So when I'm staring into this great big world it's hard to understand, and kinda hard to see How am I supposed to know? What I want, Where to go? How do I do whatever I do and when can I come back and will I find you? Simply some girl there are too many paths to travel I'm too young to know which hole do I leave and which ones do I sew? I don't understand how you did this and how you expect me to I asked if you had any dreams and if any had pulled through and you said yes, but no But me, I have dreams even I don't know them and I don't want to be like you it's hard enough t

There's a ghost in the window I can't seem to shake her every time I pass her by she's watching me, her eye level to my eye It is a she, that I can be sure her and I- we've got a lot in common we like to stare, we like to watch and when they come, we're both satisfied She stares at him, I stare at him when we glance back to eachother Hair falls from my ear she tucks it up behind hers Lonely stares, every time I pass her face has fallen pale she's not alone, but in her eyes... she looks at only me and I look at only her And in her eyes there is a stare that can't let go of those around her a stare for hunger, a stare for fear
