crystal ruth

You said that I deserved better,
so you told me that it was over.
But I don't deserve better;
I deserve you and only you.
...

On a cold chilly night
I sat and watched
my one true love
slowly die.
...

As we continue to grow
we will learn many things
and one of them is that
every good thing
...

Always sat alone.
Always thought to myself.
I'd never said a word.
I'd never been outspoken
...

For fourteen years
all that I was known
was that I had a mother
I didn't know of.
...

All I'll ever be is me.
I'll always be Crystal Ruth.
And I'll always be the girl
who they continuously pick on.
...

From time and time again
you proceed to state
how you expect more from me,
how you expect me to reach
...

As you continue to stare at me
you'll see that there is only one me,
but if you choose to,
to dig down deeper
...

The past is the past.
So, learn and build from it.

The present is here, right now.
...

Does your inspiration
come from someone
who lives and breathes darkness?
...

Everyone wants to be better
at something they do or to be
a better version of themselves,
but to be your best there has to be effort
...

I've seen the way
they treated you.
I've heard all the mean things
that they've said to you.
...

Please save me from this nightmare
because I can't bare to keep on going this way.
I didn't know that this world could be so cruel.
...

If you live in the past
sadness will reappear.
If you forget the past
You can't learn from it.
...

The time has came.
Today is the day.
It is here upon us
and there's no going back.
...

...

Everyday is a journey.
Everyday something is learned.
Everyday each one of us is loved.
And everyday is a brand new day.
...

There was you, heather, and I
this feeling of intact inside me
but so young into our lives
we've become departed,
...

There once was a man that said
he'd loved all his children no matter what.
And if that's so and if we choose to believe it
then why can't we accept they way others love
...

If I can't be your soul mate.
If I can't be the one you love.
If us isn't meant to be
at least I have you as a friend.
...
