IF THESE WALLS COULD TALK,
OH THE STORIES THAT THEY'D TELL,
FROM THE LAUGHTER,
TO THE PAIN,
SO MUCH HAS BEEN SHARED WITHIN THESE FOUR WALLS,
THE EVIDENCE IS IN THE WRITING FOR ALL TO SEE,
BUT, THAT'S ONLY A BEGINNING TO THE STORY,
THE STORY OF MY ROOM,
KISSES AND HUGS,
AND SO MUCH MORE,
THE MANY MOVIES WATCHED,
THE TEARS THAT WERE CRIED,
THE GAME OF DRESS-UP TOO MANY TIMES TO RECALL,
THE LONG PHONE CONVERSATIONS,
THE SLEEPLESS NIGHTS,
LISTENING TO MUSIC,
STORIES WRITTEN,
SONGS SANG,
QUOTES QUOTED,
FIGHTS THAT DID NOT END WELL,
PICTURES TAKEN,
INNOCENCE STOLEN,
MEMORIES REVISITED,
OH THEY SAY, IF THESE WALLS COULD TALK,
BUT, MINE CAN,
IF YOU JUST STOP AND LISTEN.
THIS WAS WRITTEN JUNE 19TH, 2006.
AND SOMETIMES I CRY
LIFE CAN BE BEAUTIFUL
AND SOMETIMES IT CAN DISGUST ME
AS A QUESTION I ASK GETS ANSWERED
I TURN AROUND AND ASK MORE
IT SEEMS SO SIMPLE AND EASY TO WALK THROUGH LIFE
BUT, REALLY IT'S ALL ONE BIG MYSTERY
I LOVE LIFE SO MUCH
AND YET SOMETIMES I BEG FOR DEATH
PEACE IS ALL I WANT FOR THIS WORLD
BUT SOMETIMES IN ANGER, I SEARCH FOR A FIGHT
THIS WORLD IS NOTHING BUT: IT'S THIS AND YET IT'S THAT
BUT HEY, AT LEAST IT'S SOMETHING
BECAUSE SOMETHING IS BETTER THAN NOTHING
SO WHY NOT DO, SAY, FEEL, AND BE EVERYTHING?
~I WROTE THIS BECAUSE I FEEL THERE ARE TWO SIDES TO EVERY STORY~
THIS IS AN OLD ONE, BUT, STILL ONE THAT HOLDS A LOT OF TRUTH FOR ME AND MEANS A LOT.
