| I Can't Belieive This Is 16!!!! |
| Unmasked I see your face. I know your hurt. I hear your voice and know your pain. A face and voice once so happy are noe so full of tears. Tears never falling, never showing. I know your pain only not to the fullest. I've been there but not like this. I try to identify and fail, for I can only know so much and the rest, the rest I can only guess. And yet your voice and your face show everything -- every emotion unmasked. And I understand your pain and try to comfort you and I fail but not by so much. And I can only try to understand your hurt. |
| The Workings Of An Insane Mind On this last day, I should be happy and yet I am not. I was -- granted -- for awhile. In the time I was alone and then -- the inevitable -- humans interferred. No one seems to understand my mind, how it needs things to be orderly and abiding the rules. And one failure to do this sets me off. As usual it has happened, One small thing, obsolete to some, a big deal to me. No one understands and they never will. So I will just sit alone, alone in my anger and wait -- wait for my mind to calm and I will be happy once agian. |
| Another Friend Who are you? Do I really know you? I thought maybe I did but now I see I don't. A few weeks is not long enough, not long enough to know you. I guess I need longer, longer to figure out who you are. I hoped I know you. I hoped this would work and somehow I've failed -- failed before I have started. Story of my life, time and agian. But I'm not giving up. Not this time. Not yet. I'm going to fight. I'm going to make this work. I will not lose another friend. |
| Obstacles Overcome So many obstacles so much pain. So much to overcome and yet so little. It's not fair that your life is so hard. And yet you conquer it well. With the help of only a few, you strive and win. I can only hope that one day -- for your sake -- your troubles end and you become happy. When people accept you for you and you finally fall in love for the true and final time. When you find your true self and know your true path. I've never been prouder of anyone, never in my life. And as you come to each new obstacle you will know I will be there helping you with a hand when needed and words all others. And praying your happiness comes soon. |
| The End of Another Year It's the end of another year full of goodbyes and sorrow tears and grief. Regrets of things not done and maybe regrets of things completed. A new summer will begin soon in less than five hours. Full of parties and jobs, fun and mischief. Will we ever gather as one again? Will we all meet come August or will we be fewer? THe summer brigns the unknown and a sense of fear, not only for the new graduates but for those left behind as well. We now will leave, enjoy our summer -- free and growing -- then hope we rejoin as one when school begins agian. |
| Imaginary Heart Nighttime falls, silence ensews, dreams begin. Dreams filled with you. You and yet not you. The thought of you, the imaginary perfection of you. I dream of a happiness, a happiness unknown. Empty of the longing and doubt I feel now. Full only of the warmth of you, you and your arms, mind and soul. Each night brings a new image and each dawn I long to return. Return to the warmth of your imaginary heart. |
