You'd never forget me
Well, I just saw
You did.
...

Some things just aren't
Worth it.
You fight, you cry,
You even get lost in
...

I will always
Be who I am.
What you see is not
What you should expect.
...

Pretty smiles are nothing
And pretty words can
Only lead people astray.
...

Of all the things he could have said,
That popped out instead.
'What? ! ' I cried.
He was surely fried.
...

It wasn't you who worked and studied;
It was me.
You didn't give
Four years of your life
...

I'm defensive;
You're defensive.
We will never agree.
...

Child of the Devil
That I am,
Why am I
As happy as a clam?
...

Life has burned me out,
Though others may not see,
Life passes right on through me.
I might as well not be.
...

Perfect is something I'll never be.
At least to you does that ring true.
You pushed and prodded for the
Best grades of everything.
...

I'm never one to tell the truth;
I'm never one to tell a lie.
I never thought omittance
Would change this.
...

When I look around me,
Al I see is no one,
And all I feel is empty.
Mixtures of light and dark
...

I hope you're not staying,
'Cuz your presence is chafing,
And I know you hope
That to The House I go.
...

Behind every picture perfect family,
There is a picture perfect Hell.
Walls painted so prettily,
Scream in agony
...

Some would say that
I'm ice cold.
Truly, I love as
Deeply as I hate.
...

Knees trembling, hands shaking,
You smiled and the world faded.
Your eyes, so piercing, twinkled
With a mischievous light
...

Oh! Algebra, I cannot count the ways that I hate you!
Is it all your rules and principles?
Or the word problems and the organization of information.
Perhaps it's the way you make me feel,
...

I'm so tired of trying to,
Shine this halo for you
'Cuz I think all of us already know
That I've fallen too far for you to see.
...
