| My Mask I never take off The mask I wear That's the only way A lot of people will care You always told me I was your friend Then you ditch me And lie in the end Why would you lie Telling me you'll be there And then stab me in the back When I take off the mask that I wear I trusted you too much I put my heart in you hand Then you tore it apart So I put on my mask again The people who are there And who care about me Are the ones I try to hide from I never take off my mask for them to see I do this because of you I do it because you lied You killed part of my soul And I cried and cried You hurt me more than anyone But you also made me strong I may have been sad But that didn't last too long You made me realize who my my true friends are The ones who really care about me That is who I trust now And i will take off my mask for them to see ~Kristin Maher 4/27/01 Me Expression What I do How I feel Rejected What I am No one cares Creativity Mine lacking But I see clouds in my mind Free I will never be Held down Ball and chain No escape Not meant to be understood Different Why I am rejected Not accepted Because I am me The only person I know to be Though shunned and hated I am me ~Kristin Maher 3/28/01 |
| Dream Affection In my dreams you hold me close Never let go We are happy Perfect Yet when I wake You are gone Who are you? Will we ever meet? In your arms Will I ever be? Must I sleep To see your face To feel your warm embrace I dream of you Every night Do you dream too? Of a girl perfect and sweet? Boy in my dreams Do you dream of me? ~Kristin Maher 3/26/01 True Friend (you know who this is for) We have not been friends for very long But when I'm around you I feel like I belong Always knowing your a phone call away Helps to brighten up my day We may not see each other every day But it's good to know You will be behind me All the way Whenever you feel you need a friend Know that on me you can always depend We will stick together through thick and thin Knowing that together we will always win Guys and girls will come and go Many of them we will never really know One day one of us may move away And our short lived friendship may end but I always want you to remember The words I am about to say No matter what happens No matter how far away You will always be my true friend Forever and a day ~Kristin Maher 11/10/01 Ocean Waves crash The sun goes down The air is a tad bit cold And there is no one around The seagulls quietly Circle the sky at night Everything is silent And the moon is shining bright You reach for a hand That you imagine is there Only to touch a pile of sand That fills your soul with despair In your mind you see perfection The person right for you Then the cold water splashes your face And you realize your dreams may never come true Did you realize the beach at night Makes everything seem perfect and right Then the perfection is shattered And you remember every flaw in your life At the first sign of morning light ~Kristin Maher 11/11/00 |
