Jesse McCartney
We met in class,
You walked by me.
We would always lock eyes,
My heart would skip a beat.
You looked so gorgeous,
You looked so great.
I knew at once
I'd take you on a date.
A dilemma appeared,
My shyness came back.
It's one thing I hate,
The confidence I lack.
I found your name
On our school's site.
I found your Facebook,
Messaged you that night.
The next morning in Autos,
My phone made a noise.
My heart skipped a beat,
I held back my voice.
We talked for hours,
We told eachother...
You walked by me.
We would always lock eyes,
My heart would skip a beat.
You looked so gorgeous,
You looked so great.
I knew at once
I'd take you on a date.

Justice To be Served
I remember last fall,
You ripped out my heart.
Right out of my chest,
And tore it apart.
We stood in the forest,
Leaves danced on the path,
We looked at the pond,
The water like glass.
We walked through the woods,
Right up to a hill.
You then took my hand,
Your touch gave me chills.
We walked and we talked,
We laughed and we cried.
But the sun was setting,
We said our goodbyes.
The next few days,
We talked and weŽd text.
I felt like a million bucks,
But what happened next
It broke me...
You ripped out my heart.
Right out of my chest,
And tore it apart.
We stood in the forest,
Leaves danced on the path,
We looked at the pond,
The water like glass.
We walked through the woods,
Right up to a hill.
You then took my hand,
Your touch gave me chills.
We walked and we talked,
We laughed and we cried.
But the sun was setting,
We said our goodbyes.

Questions for Us
1) Why are unseen consequences never predicted?
2) Why are we encouraged not to question certain aspects of society?
3) Why do we feel the need to sacrifice our happiness for others' happiness, if we know the end result hurts?
4) Why are we as a society so afraid and unaccepting of change?
5) Why do the smallest things mean the most?
6) What are emotions? Just a reaction to an event? Or something much more?
7) If we are all human, why can't we all just live in peace?

A Heart's Definition of a Heart
A blood red landscape
Is where I reside.
I'm the center of love,
The center of pride.
I used to be open,
Just like the sea.
My love was endless,
for someone loved me.
Now here's where I am,
Beat up and marred.
Covered in cuts,
Covered in scars.
I do not know,
How much more I can take.
A few more rips,
And I just might break.
This landscape of red
Is where I await
The girl who loves me,
Who changes my fate.
Who mends me together,
And fixes my scars,
With nothing but love,
For I...
Is where I reside.
I'm the center of love,
The center of pride.
I used to be open,
Just like the sea.
My love was endless,
for someone loved me.
Now here's where I am,
Beat up and marred.
Covered in cuts,
Covered in scars.
I do not know,
How much more I can take.
A few more rips,
And I just might break.
This landscape of red
Is where I await
The girl who loves me,
Who changes my fate.
Who mends me together,
And fixes my scars,
With nothing but love,

Can You Love You?
If you are surrounded
By friends and family
Who love you,
Why don't you love you?
If you have a special someone
Who loves you dearly,
Why can't you love yourself too?
In our society,
We are trained to think
Higher of others,
But lower of ourselves.
But have you ever tried
Loving yourself?
Accepting who you are?
Why can't you love yourself too?
By friends and family
Who love you,
Why don't you love you?
If you have a special someone
Who loves you dearly,
Why can't you love yourself too?

But lower of ourselves.
But have you ever tried
Loving yourself?
Accepting who you are?

Flowers and Hearts
After it rains,
Flowers can grow.
Only the heat
Will melt the snow.
For flowers to grow,
You need a seed.
For a heart to grow,
It needs to bleed.
It takes some time,
To see a sprout.
Just as it does
To love with no doubt.
When it's cold outside,
A flower's petals close.
When a heart gets cold,
it's owner sinks low.
When it's warmer outside,
A flower's petals bloom.
When a heart feels warmth,
It's scars are healed soon.
A flower gets warm
From rays of the sun....

Differences
Is there a such thing as evil?
It seems to be
That our perception of the word evil
Is the definition of differences.
We as a race see something we don't like,
Or something that drastically differs
From our way of life,
And we push it away or attack it.
It's human nature,
Is it not?
No one likes drastic change.
The threat of this change is enough to bring humans,
Brothers and Sisters,
To destroy each other in a quest for dominance,
Because one side has a different view of the world.
Does this mean wars are just clashes of differences?...

Brick Wall
He longs for her,
For her he waits.
He's closer to breaking
With each breath he takes.
She's the one,
He swears It's true.
But he's scared to tell,
Scared to give a clue.
The thick wall of friendship
Must first be scaled.
Those who do not,
Have always failed.
He doesn't dismantle
The brick covered creation,
For he knows it's still
His crucial foundation.
One to save and hold him up,
To catch him if he falls.
For if there's no foundation,
He could lose it all.
Friendship is a blessing....
For her he waits.
He's closer to breaking
With each breath he takes.
She's the one,
He swears It's true.
But he's scared to tell,
Scared to give a clue.
The thick wall of friendship
Must first be scaled.
Those who do not,
Have always failed.
He doesn't dismantle
The brick covered creation,
For he knows it's still
His crucial foundation.
One to save and hold him up,
To catch him if he falls.
For if there's no foundation,
He could lose it all.

Chance of Love
Chances..
Funny how those work.
It's kind of like
A lottery.
But all odds are against you.
So you, the lottery player,
Are now thrown into a heated battle
Of obstacles, insults, threats, and temptations.
Eventually
You will lose the will to fight
Or sometimes
Forget what you are fighting for.
That is what I fear.
So I will wait
For the reinforcements
Of love.
Then I know
I can win the battle.
Not what we think is love.
But then again...
What it is love?
How do we know when we feel it?
Love certainly does...

She Who Knows Not
Close your eyes, you are loved.
Open your eyes, and love him.
Let him heal you,
let him heal your limbs.
Let him tell you
How amazing you are
Listen to his words
Let them heal your scars.
Listen to him,
While he lets you know
That he wants to hug you
And never let you go.
Listen to him
Believe what he's saying,
Because every night
For you he is praying.
He prays you listen,
He prays you know.
He prays for success,
For his love to show.
She lies in her bed,
Conflicted, confused....
Open your eyes, and love him.
Let him heal you,
let him heal your limbs.
Let him tell you
How amazing you are
Listen to his words
Let them heal your scars.
Listen to him,
While he lets you know
That he wants to hug you
And never let you go.
Listen to him
Believe what he's saying,
Because every night
For you he is praying.
He prays you listen,
He prays you know.
He prays for success,
For his love to show.
She lies in her bed,
Conflicted, confused....
