They think they know me all so well,
But behind this mask I secretly dwell.
I hide my thoughts, my feelings too,
I hide so well from all of you.
...

I am who I am, I’m just plain me,
I’m the crazy girl that you all see.
I laugh too much for my own good,
I talk to myself like you knew I would!
...

Life is like a game of cards,
You play them right or wrong.
You either feel like you're in the right place,
Or feel like you don't belong.
...

I feel you in my heart,
Forever, always will be.
You are in my breath,
You are in my soul,
...

You promised you’d always trust in me,
I believed that'd always be true.
But behind that face of veracity,
You hid a different you.
...

I bottle up,
This love I’ve got,
That I know will last forever.
...

Why do I hear cries for you,
When I know you’re gone forever?
Why did you pretend to care,
When you knew we’d never be together?
...

Too much i gave
too little received.
I was deceived.
...

Springing to life, these glorious days,
Autumn still shows its soft chilling ways.
Amidst all the confusion of the summer divine,
Again and again till the end of time.
...

One flash of hope,
across you lips.
One single glace,
makes me twitch.
...

I toss and I turn,
I sigh and I yearn,
To kiss those lips of yours.
Wakeful dreams control my nights,
...

Trapped in fear of what lays outside.
Resentfully by the rules we abide.
Screaming for freedom, for freedom of speech,
But only our hearts will hear us weep.
...

...

Your words tangle my thoughts,
Winding them together so tight,
Yet giving me the strength,
To imagine possibilities,
...

Where is this place we all call home?
How can we tell who we are?
Are we the Indian restaurant around the corner?
Or the American standing at the bar?
...
