Who are you now
To whom am I talking?
What do I say?
I thought that I knew you
In every way
I loved the you
You used to be
The ones whose defenses
Through I could see
But who are you now
Strangers again are we
Starting over with a new you
And the same old me
You’re worth the effort
That’s one thing I don’t doubt
But I’m worried about
How things may turnout
But why? I must ask
Why do you want to change?
I loved who you were before,
So I find it strange
My point, I guess
Is that I’ll love you always...
What do I say?

Untitled... for now.
Broken, she sits, tears streaming down her face. Longing for how things were, she feels the regret that comes with all bad choices. Each tear is a thought for with each thought another tear is released making her internal pain finally visible… to the vacant room.
Forgive and forget. Forgiving is the easy part, she concludes. It’s the forgetting that’s difficult… Would it change things?
If only she could go back, but there are no second chances. No do-overs. However, just maybe she’d be lucky enough to be forgiven. Pain stabs her chest at the thought that she could...

Death, come to me.
I don’t want to live.
I want to die.
I simply cannot go on,
and so I cry.
Never fading
is the pain I feel,
and it’s all gone.
No more zeal.
The expectations surround me
everywhere I go.
They worsen my mood
creating many a foe.
None to care.
Nobody’s there.
They say they’re here,
but I say “where?”
It doesn’t matter.
It never will.
I know it’ll go away
when forever I am still.
It pains me to think
of what I’ve become,
but now my only wish
is for the end...

With you… for now.
I’m with you
until you do say
that we are done,
and show me the way.
You say it’s real;
I know that’s not true.
It doesn’t matter
to me or to you.
Loyal is what
I will be
until you decide
to get rid of me.
It’s a secret
or so you told me.
That’s what you wish,
and so it will be.
So, I’ll be here,
waiting for you,
looking for signals
as to what I should do.
I don’t mind.
It’s all good fun.
I’ll pretend to love you
until we are done.

Try to Have Hope
I try to have hope
that I’m not as bad
as I think I am.
I try to have hope
that they’ll be okay,
though it seems unlikely.
I try to have hope
that I can do anything,
but I lose my willpower.
I try to have hope,
in everything,
but I fail.
I try to have hope
that I’ll continue to hope,
but I fail at that too.
I try and I fail.
Then, I hate myself,
and I am hopeless.

I don't know what to do.
Why can’t you tell me
what to do,
how to stay
the best friend of you?
I miss you,
not that you
ever seem to
care.
I want to talk
to you,
but you’re always
busy.
I try to be
the bestest friend, ...

I wish I could know
I wish I could know
how to be me,
be confident and content
like they all seem to be.
I wish I could know
with whom I could be,
understand myself completely
and know they love me.
I wish I could know
that I’d always have someone there
to talk to whenever
I needed someone to care.
I wish I could know
how to avoid fear,
so I wouldn’t stay back
to watch them jeer.
I wish I could know,
I wish I could be,
but mostly, I wish…
…I could be me.

The Ignorant
Some people think there’s not
a care in the world,
Wearing lots of makeup,
Their hair perfectly curled.
The scream and they shout,
Cry over the silliest things,
Don’t even contemplate
the idea of wings.
So beautiful and complicated
is the world around us,
How can one be ignorant
when observing is a must?
There’s pain and there’s joy,
With problems everywhere.
They leave the thinking to some
which hardly seems fair.
A wish to make them see
the truths of society.
Then they could understand,
And like...

What's the point of a first love?
I used to spend my days
Looking for love
Longing and searching
For something
I knew nothing about
And then I realized
I wasn’t ready for it
If I don’t know
Who I am
Any relationship is hopeless
I’m getting closer
To where I want to be
I’m determined to find out
The person
I was meant to be
The truth is I’m scared
I fear love
I think it’s because
I don’t
Want to be hurt
I don’t want to hurt anyone
I don’t want the end to come
Though I know it’s ahead
They say
The first never...

Why are you everywhere?
Everywhere I am,
your name appears.
My first thought
is always of you.
Everywhere I look,
I see your face.
I’m always disappointed.
It’s never you.
Everywhere I go,
your non-existent presence
haunts me
from the interiors of my mind.
Everywhere, anywhere,
I am thinking of you,
trying to figure out why
my thoughts are stuck on you.
I have this longing inside of me, but
I can’t tell if it’s for you.
I can’t understand myself, so
someone, please, tell me what I’m supposed to do…

To Cheybear
I need you here
by my side,
guiding me
with every stride,
helping me see
what I have here,
focusing my goals
on what is near.
You’re there for me
when I need you to be,
clearing my vision,
so again I may see.
I try my best
to be there for you,
to be a good friend
in all that I do.
We’ve had great times,
and we’ve had bad.
One minute we’re happy,
and the next we’re sad.
I appreciate everything
for me, you have done.
Thank you, my friend,
I’ve had a lot of fun.

I fall, too.
They say people fall
because of their family,
but my family's just fine,
so where does that leave me?
They say people fall
because they have no faith,
but I am still a believer,
so why do I feel unsafe?
Most explanations they give
don't apply to my life,
so why am I unhappy
and feeling all this strife?
I simply don't understand
what is wrong with me.
I know I should be happy,
but happy is hard to be.
