Poet Introduction
Hey there, thanks for being here
The ways
Some people are so dense
And to me it doesn't always make sense
To that much I must confess
Some people on the other hand
Have problems we couldn't possibly understand
It digs deeper down to the bone
That simple cut of the knife
The one meant to end their life
They're suicidal
To that there is no denial
But sometimes they just can't do it
So they find the next best thing to it
It's not something I know much about
Just something I've seen throughout
People come close to death
But never seal the deal
They spend their life in...
And to me it doesn't always make sense

Lost love
The words I couldn't say
Each and every day
They were the ones pushing you away
When I wanted you to stay
You wanted to go
I wanted you to know
I couldn't even show
The things you needed to know
So I lost you
And all the strength I had too
I loved you still love you
But now I can't have you
He found a new girl
Him kissing her makes me wanna hurl
I wanna be his girl
But we already gave that a whirl
I'll never let him out of my heart
To me he'll always be a part
Even when we grew apart
He never...

The human race
Why are humans so complex
We burn holes into the tiniest flecks
We all tend to over think
Then to solve our we're dumb enough to drink
Humans don't want the truth
We just use what we wanna hear as proof
Nobody will admit they're wrong
And others just go along
We're so concerned with things that don't matter
We pay no attention to the things that do
One day we'll realize our mistakes
But by then it'll be to late
The human race will be long gone
And it will all be done and wrong
We burn holes into the tiniest flecks
We all tend to over think
Then to solve our we're dumb enough to drink
Humans don't want the truth
We just use what we wanna hear as proof
Nobody will admit they're wrong
And others just go along
We're so concerned with things that don't matter
We pay no attention to the things that do
One day we'll realize our mistakes
But by then it'll be to late
The human race will be long gone
And it will all be done and wrong

No more than a memory
I went downstairs to get some tea
And felt like someone was watching me
Then all of the sudden I could hear
A song that sent me into true fear
I could hear the sound of feet
As well as at that point my own heartbeat
He said don't move or you'll die
I said I'll do whatever you want just leave the rest of my family be
He said he was hoping that's what I'd say
I'm going to take you far away
Now find a pen and a piece of paper
They will after all wake up later
Write that you will be okay
But something came up and you had to get away
Don't...

Mystery Guy
You outshine me in every way
The way you smile can brighten anyone's day
For this I've told you
But in this case you'll argue
I know your secret
I'm destined to keep it
I may be unique
But that's where I peak
You're kinda mysterious
But not to serious
Who are you mystery guy
Come on don't be shy
Let the world know who you are
Reveal your identity my shining star
I'll find out one day
Eventually you'll say
Because mystery guy
When I'm determined I'm not shy
So my shining star
One day I hope to...

Anything for you
One day you said you'd do anything for me
That was something I couldn't believe
Then one day in the past
It all happened so fast
This was all my fault
Not directly but still my fault
One day it all went downhill
I remember it still
It haunts my dreams
And will forever so it seems
We went hiking one day
On a mountain far away
Everything went great
Until I met my fate
I fell off a cliff
He called the sheriff
They said there was no way I'd make it
He said he couldn't take it
He said that he would never forgive...

Worth it in the end
Every part of me tries to be the girl he needs
But no part of me understands
Why he tries to give up
He says he loves me so
Then tries to let me go
I've always just been me
And I try to make him see
I've always been here
One days he finally gets it
After all those breakups
There's always been makeups
Then one day he finally says he'll stay
He's done running away
After all these years
I'm starting to shed tears
As what comes next shocks me
He got down on one knee
And finally asked will you marry me
I of course said yes...
But no part of me understands
Why he tries to give up

After all those breakups

I'm starting to shed tears

He got down on one knee
And finally asked will you marry me

Crushed
I told you that I loved you
I told you that I cared
But no matter what I did
You were always oh so scared
You didn't wanna hurt again
But by doing that you hurt me instead
I gave you my all
That's all that I could do
Is give my heart to you and tell you that I loved you
Everything I ever said
Just hit the back of your head
You said you loved me too
But sometimes I couldn't believe you
All the times that I'd been hurt
Are in the back of my mind
I swore I wouldn't hurt you
You said the same
But I tried to stay true
And keep...

Again
I have a trembling suspicion
this could be happening again
I'm falling harder than I ever have before
other than that i don't know much more
every time he says my name I smile
seeing him makes me feel like I could run a mile
everyone I know says it can't be so
well I say heck they don't even know
no matter what he does
he's still the best because
he may not be perfect
but I know for a fact he's worth it
this could be happening again

Death do us part
All I'd ever known I later learned was completely wrong
I didn't know until you came along
Since then you've been a huge temptation
My one and only inspiration
Your love took me by surprise
I was paralyzed
It took a while to realize it was real
Every single thing that I could feel
I was lucky you chose me
And to do this day I will strive to make you see
You'll always be special to somebody
Even though I know you think you are to nobody
And I'm honored to be the one in your heart
As the saying goes til death do us part
I didn't know until you came along
Since then you've been a huge temptation
My one and only inspiration
Your love took me by surprise
I was paralyzed
It took a while to realize it was real
Every single thing that I could feel
I was lucky you chose me
And to do this day I will strive to make you see
You'll always be special to somebody
Even though I know you think you are to nobody
And I'm honored to be the one in your heart
As the saying goes til death do us part

Sidelined
he doesn't even care
he just sits there to stare
I thought that he loved me
but I know I was wrong
he always just sat on the sideline
ready to get out when something came along
you feel like you're in a race
but you always come in second place
everything but you comes first
you keep on waiting
hoping he'll come around some day
but you know he'll never come around
he wants no part of you
it's just something left to face
in this world full of heartache
he just sits there to stare
I thought that he loved me
but I know I was wrong
he always just sat on the sideline
ready to get out when something came along
you feel like you're in a race
but you always come in second place
everything but you comes first
you keep on waiting
hoping he'll come around some day
but you know he'll never come around
he wants no part of you
it's just something left to face
in this world full of heartache

2 different worlds
hiding in the corner doesn't do us any good
we're crazy, we're different, we're misunderstood
but in the end you'll see
you're not so different from me
you don't even know my name but I know yours
I'm the girl standing behind closed doors
we're from two different worlds that don't really mix
but I'm dying to let that be something I can fix
one day I may get the nerve to say
what I've been thinking since the very first day
you were walking down the hall
didn't notice me at all
I'm nervous and shy when you're near by
I can't even manage to say...
