I sit in the hallway,
my body shaking.
All the while,
my mind is contemplating.
...

We all endure troubles in this life,
but we move on.
Knowing that there will be strife,
some things are bound to go wrong.
...

It happens to 1 out of 3
high school students.
Like a bad dream
they don't expect to go through it.
...

My mind is a river, my thoughts are its bed.
Made up of words left unsaid.
Flowing across the land,
this river carries so much pollution and debris.
...

Going a day without seeing you,
can really make me feel blue.
When you're not around,
It makes me want to cry.
...

I'm a girl with glasses,
the one they call a freak.
I'm a girl who never smiles,
'cause I've got brace on my teeth.
...

A sister is someone to look up to
she gives you the strength to stand,
even when you're feeling blue.
...

Sitting here in study hall
nothing left to do.
I stare at blank walls,
there's a world I go to.
...

There's no freedom,
so why even try?
It's not like,
we're gonna get very high.
...

I talked to God last night.
I asked him to give you,
the most beautiful pair of wings.
Maybe even a halo
...

She says she's okay, she says she's alright.
She says she has forgiven you
for all the hurtful things you said that night.
But you hurt her, can't you see?
...

I had a dream last night.
Instead of yellow, I was dressed in all white.
What I saw was quite vivid, I wish I could have lived it.
The day a little girl grows up to see.
...

Take a chance, never let go.
Risk everything, and lose control.
Cry in the rain to hide your troubles.
Or just simply dance in the puddles.
...

You are the Master,
I am the puppet.
Caught between your grip,
and a sight of reality.
...

You said you needed your space,
I wasn't where you wanted to be.
I walked away,
I wanted to be happy.
...

It took you all that time,
and I could never get you off my mind.
I stared at old photographs,
slept in that shirt you left.
...

I'm sorry I have been so Far Away
I had to go through Little Things
Before I could let God Bless the Broken Road.
Now that its been faced I'm Ready to Love Again.
...

I never had the chance to say "I love you"
or to tell you how much I care.
I never got the chance to speak to you
and promise that I would always be there.
...

Taking a bath my brother and I,
when out of the blue…
A lonesome floater passed us by.
He was just a brown little log,
...

In the car I take a seat.
Mommy buckles me up.
It's okay though I have my sippy cup.
The radio turns on.
...
