Life.

It's funny isn't it?
Life I mean.
You float along easily,
Suddenly an opportunity arises,
And there's a swift change in events,
You never seem to know where
you really are until you get there,
You want something so bad,
Then you finally get it;
And it's never as great as you
first envisioned it to be.
But that's just the way the
cards fall.
Sometimes it's ironic.
Or just plain hilarious.
Other times it's heartbreakingly sad.
But that's how we get up and
keep going.
Living through Life.
But you've got to admit.
It's funny isn't it?

What does it take?

What does it take to get famous?
Honestly I mean.
There are people out there,
Famous for almost no reason.
They were born into it.
They made fools of themselves.
They exposed themselves in public,
It seems that nothing is private these days.
And also that not many things are fair.
While those of us  with real talent
suffer down here in the real world,
those who are branded famous,
Simply need to smile and nod to
get out of or into any situation.
So tell me this,
What does it take to get real?

Laughter

It felt so good,
tumbling out of my mouth,
bouncing between us,
echoing through space and time,
It was so funny at the time,
and looking back it still is,
just so hilarious,
and even funnier when it
hits randomly at a
memory re-awakened,
bubbling up again out of nowhere,
and the looks those strangers gave us,
as if we were the crazy ones,
they were only jealous of
what they didn't have.

Love.

Just one look and I
could tell, that you could
see me for what I am, that
somehow you could understand
what I'd been trying to
say for my whole life,
you were the only one who
could see my soul as
clear as light, shining
from inside my heart,
and ever since that faithful
day, when at first you seemed
startled by someone calling
your name, but it was me
alone, and there was only
silence, somehow you felt
what I did, and with a
knowing smile we walked,
hand-in-hand, side-by-side,
into this small but perfect
piece of our forever.

Bad mood?

I guess all this anger's been
 bottled up, now I'm going over
  the brink,
There doesn't seem to be a
 cure, only blinding fits of
  rage.
So I apologise to those I've
 hurt, my mind has just gone
  berserk,
And I promise now I'll do my
 best, to try and give
  my voice a rest,
It's only after all this time,
 you still don't understand
  what's mine.

The Real Truth

I can see it written all over
your face,
All your thoughts and feelings,
You don't realise that I'm
reading you,
But it doesn't matter because
I do not judge,
I laugh quietly to myself,
Because I love how honest
you are,
There are no words or gestures,
But your expression tells me
everything.
Thank you for being true.

Tell me

Tell me what you think,
Your opinion matters,
To trust is to honour,
And I trust you,
So do not be afraid,
Just leave a note to let
me know,
And is it too much to ask,
That you don't crush my
spirit?
That you only criticise,
Not torture,
For one day it will be your
turn,
Some day you'll meet your
maker,
And then you'll be wishing that
you showed others compassion.

Journey

This is a Journey,
What a time,
to be free to do what we want,
all the chances that we've got,
And every moment I consider
how lucky I am,
how I couldn't have done
this without you,
And of course I will never
forget you.
All of this work is original
and mine,
Someday we will look back
and remember the time,
when we were only just beginning,
on this journey,
And I know, wherever I may
end up,
The journey will have been
worth it.

Missing chances

And there she stood,
all alone in silence,
her arms crossed,
She looked as if in deep thought,
but what was she thinking?
I guess you'll never know,
because instead of asking how
she was, you walked right past,
as if she was nothing,
as if she was not of importantance,
as if you didn't love her.
Let's hope she knew deep down,
that if you had another chance,
you would go back and talk
to her for hours, walk her
home safely and promise to meet
her tomorrow,
She could've been the one.
But I guess you'll never know.
Seems sad in a way...
But you can't loose what
you never had, can you?

It's simple

All you had to do was
whisper my name, and I was
broken, back in your arms once
more, like before all this
heartache began, before
the whole world felt like it
was falling apart, breaking
and bending, I'm falling
through the cracks but you
catch me before I hit the
ground.

Fear

I am so afraid, but I am not a victim,
I am so much stronger than that,
you cannot knock me down cruel world,
for I will rise with a vengance
and show you who I am ,
a girl with a story.
It will hurt to listen,
but it may do you good,
This is my world.
A world of Words.

Mercy?

Show you mercy?
Not a chance.
Never again, not now.
My tears should never
have been shed for you,
you shouldn't have made
me cry.
Did I really deserve it?
Did I deserve this?
Was it worth it?
Have you any regrets?
Just one.

Talking Out of Turn?: Just Smile

Talking Out of Turn?: Just Smile: "Just Smile, keep smiling and make me feel like it's all okay, Like my entire world isn't falling apart, Like all I have to do is bra..."

Just Smile

Just Smile,
keep smiling and 
make me feel like it's
all okay,
Like my entire world
isn't falling apart,
Like all I have to do
is breathe for everything
to be perfect,
Smile and hold me
in your arms,
So I can feel the
sunshine radiating
from you onto me,
So I can feel_yours
Again.
Just like once upon a
time, when life was a dream.
Can we just be here?
Stay suspended in time,
just the way we are,
So young, so strong,
so beautiful.
Loving you never ended,
I close my eyes and I'm in
your arms,
You kiss me so softly,
Like I'm fragile,
I forgot how it felt to
Smile.

Darkness

I feel so lost and helpless,
there's little I can do,
I know that there's a gaping
hole in your heart right now,
and it mightn't ever be filled,
but I can promise and try with
all I've got, my whole heart,
to fill the gap.
This saddness is immense,
I know, I've been there before,
And I know it seems impossible
but believe me,
this will pass,
nothing could be worse right now
but in the end I'm right,
the feeling's overwhelming but it's
Death that we must fight. 

Dreamer

If I told you I had a dream,
would you laugh or smile kindly?
would you encourage me or shoot me down?
would you cry in despair or in joy?
What if I told you I just wanted
to be noticed not famous,
acknowledged not ridiculed,
just seen plainly for what I do,
and all I love,
not for what I've left behind
and surely not for where
I'm going because I don't know,
I just know that this is me,
right here and now,
and I don't need anything more
or anything less,
because this is the moment
and I'm living in it.
All I think is happiness.

Time

With all these crazy thoughts
and crazy dreams,
I'm still just me,
A girl at sixteen holding
a pen that has a life of
it's own.
I wonder if in years to
come will I remember how
I was, how I am,
Will I smile as I remember
the days, the conversations
both  light and heavy, the
pictures of friends and places.
Well I think I will,
And I hope I will look back
on myself and think;
"She was so strong_ She did
what was right_ She was so
smart, so talented, so funny_
She was kind and loved by many_
She was beautiful, if only she had known it."

Something True

I hear it, the music rising and
flying through me like
nothing on earth,
The very thought of you just
sends my heart into convulsions
of happiness,
I feel like my whole body
is glowing for all the world to see,
It makes me proud that it's
only you that can make me
feel this way,
Because I know every single
note I hear is a part of
you,
And as I slowly close my
eyes the music rises then
falls to a lullaby,
It sends me to a dream
where I lie in your arms and
listen to your voice...
I sleep feeling safe,
with a smile on my face.

Talking out of turn?

Of course it would be my words that give me away,
fumbling, stumbling and tripping so many times over,
my voice not really my own,
shaking with emotion.
But what could it be?
Something that has driven me to this,
A feeling so overwhelming...
Is it fear?
Is it anger?
Is it a breakdown?
I ask myself how I let it come to this,
I held it cool for so long but now this.
I explode in a blur of movement,
words cutting the air,
your face drops, full of pain...
I look down at the pool of tears,
But they aren't yours,
They're mine.
