Being a child,
with adventures everyday,
building high spirits,
making a new mind grow.
...

In a terrible fog I once lost my way,
Where I had wandered I could not say,
I found a signpost just by a fence,
But I could not read it, the fog was so dense.
...

Stop it now
It's only the innocent who get hurt in war

The soldiers
...

This world we live in is an up hill struggle,
Everyday we live with our guilt,
Our heads full of anxiety,
All the time we have our own personal wars,
...

Think about it
Isn't it funny?
The world we are living in is just a dream
We are bad
...

Looking for a man who can....

Looking for a man
who can make me giggle
...

When I look into these eyes
I find things no one else ever catches a glimpse at

I see this fear of judgement
...

This morning I made my mom's breakfast in bed.
I tried to be careful, but burnt all the bread.
I tried to make sure that the coffee was hot,
by boiling the bit left in yesterday's pot.

Everyone tells you,
they are the best years of your life.
The thing they dont tell you,
is they are all full of strife.

People are so bored, bored
Bored
Bored

Somewhere in my dreams tonight
I'll see you standing there
You look at me with a smile
'Life isn't always fair'
...

Being a girl is where it's at.
I'm proud, sometimes loud, and I know how to have fun.
I am who I am (and then some) !
...

I m working on a poem thats so true, I cant show it to anyone.
I could never show it to anyone.
Because it says exactly what I think, and what I think scares me.
Sometimes it pleases me.
...

I have always seen life for what it really is.
Ever since I was a child growing up, hard times are all I know.

I had to sit back and watch my mother work from sunset to sundown.
...

Filled with emotions
Can’t seem to find a separation
Deep within myself
...

I have just got up from my study-table:
I feel exhausted!
I am dumb-founded!
And I am longing for some kind of excitement.
...

There is a part of me
That feels I am different from everyone else.
Something that I can't quite see,
Something that I can't quote feel,
...

As childhood friends, we grew up together,
Swearing to be friends forever and ever.
Sometimes we would argue and fight,
Other times we would laugh and stay up all night.
...

Life is full of choices
Make sure you pick the right one
Don't listen to the voices
Hear only yours and you have won
...

You told me in a dream you always loved me.
I wept with joy at what with joy you said.
My sadness was not there. It was so lovely.
And with you was my darling, also dead.
