I TOOK IT ALL FOR GRANTED

I used to see you
every morning at school.
But now, I don't see
you at all.

And I used to be able
to call you anytime
But now, I ask to call
and when I do, you're not there.

You're out doing
what I'll never get to do.
You're having fun
like I no longer know how to.

And I can't help but be jealous
I wish for the life you live.
and hope you realize how
lucky you are.

I'm trapped to live
within my mind
and never to be set free.

I can't break through;
I don't have the strength.
So help me, I pray,
and don't take what you have for granted.


BETTER BECAUSE OF YOU

I feel like I do nothing that matters,
I feel so small staring at the sky,
but you make me feel otherwise.

I feel I'm too delicate to be in love,
I feel I'm of little importance to people,
but you make me feel otherwise.

I feel desperate for attention,
feeling I'm never noticed,
but you ALWAYS make me feel otherwise.

I think I'm so sad inside,
and hide it with my fake happiness,
but you make me think otherwise.

I think no one is proud of me,
and that I've done nothing worth telling,
but you make me think otherwise.

I thinnk I couldn't possibly know love,
and that I don't love enough,
but you ALWAYS make me think otherwise.

You are too important for me to let go
and I hope you realize; I hope you know
you make me a better person than I myself feel, think, or know I am.

To all my friends who have made life worth living. Thanks.
