| 2001 was a good year for me. I had a very stable relationship with everyone, including friends from school and my family. Also, I was excelling in school and it's no surprise that my writing should be fantastic. By this time, I had also been established amoungst the Cultural community group in my town - filled with mostly older people who had nothing better to do than meet. My fans actually reached outside of my class. Amazing! |

Untitled She fell into his arms And her world came crashing down All this time She had been survivng On the draining hope For a cause that seemed to disappear Yet here she was Caught in the sweet embrace That weakens her heart And drains the life out of her How could she make the moment Last for all eternity? The burning question Biting at her arms Asking of her life She only wanted to be closer To the warmth of his body But the pure emotion That surged through her soul Took that opportunity away He couldn't save her |
Untitled Years will go by My life will go on Always with you in my thoughts Remembering those simple days That we spent together While I was growing up Learning howto deal With a struggling world Yet you saw in me All the possibilities All the talents And how to bring them together You don't know How much you've touched my life So deeply Because of what you did for me Now I have been able to survive I can't describe how much You mean to me As I go on to better things You willalways be with me Your spirit is within me |

Untitled Life is full of disappointments Waiting for you at every corner While you think That with all your excitement Nothing could go wrong You hit a certain point And realize you're wrong The brick wall you just crashed into Crumbles on top of you As the dust settles Your hand hangs bare in the air You heart crushed. |
Quickly, the Voice is Gone I'm dreaming The light is shining brightly I must squing tightly Wondering why I can hear The familiar voice of laughter That makes my heart beat faster Walking quickly Hearing the echoes of my footsteps A warm sunny breeze Tosses my hair to the side Smelling the hyptnotizing aroma Of freshly cut grass Blooming in a field Somewhere far away I can't help but smile Hoping that I have finally found A place of pure pleasure In the glare of sunlight It's coming into view The bright blue skies Fluffy cotton ball clouds A vast field of wild flowers And in the distance I can still hear the laughter Who guided me to this place Still my heart beats quicken In anticipation of meeting The voice so dear to me I suddenly flet the grass beneath my feet with vibrant colors all around My field of dreams is true I have finally arrived Majestic purple mountains Painted in the distance A gentle little stream Flowing through my hands Glistening in the rays of the sun Calling me here I can hear the voice still Deep within myself Pounding in my chest Waiting to see the face Waiting, waiting to know How to share the laughter Come and appear for me So that I can thank the kind soul You've helped me find my way To a place I never tought I could find A place I only knew In a childish dream Silence fell And darkness came It was gone The voice was no more Then I realized I'm dreaming |

Untitled I hate changes I hate having to Lose the feeling of happiness That you're so accustomed to Why does something new Something you're not familiar with Have to come rolling by And make you lose What you had before You know you can't go back There's no way to catch it again For once, can't something Just stay there and never leave Can't I have one stable thing Never leave me feeling So alone and battered I'm so worn out From trying to keep up I just wanted to hold onto something Long enought to enjoy it I just wanted to catch it And hold it tightly will it ever be that way? |
Untitled The wind is blowing The trees sway from side to side And the sun is setting In the western horizon I'msitting ona cold bench On a familiar field From my memory Looking all around I see golden leaves rustling the worn out grass is light green The fence behind me still as it was So long ago I turned my head And I see the hills roll rolling down The parking lot is cracked and rigid but the school hasn't changed It's still standing, giving me life The darkening sky Is comforting to my eyes All I wanted Was to see if it still existed My home use to be here So long ago But time is so precious It has slipped away from me I have changed So as the shadow I dropping over the field I can hear the distant laughter I can hear the distant children On this backyard of a school Playing their games Smiling and having fun I can see myself So young, so innocent I can see a familiar face So gentle, so dear to me Shaking my head I realize I can truely hear foot steps Coming closer to me I quickly raise to my feet In disbelief Will my memories lead me to you? |

Untitled Tears glistening in the sunlight Memories floating like fairy dust A majestic world lies before me Waiting in wide open arms The flowers swaying in the gentle wind The trees standing taller than the mountains But myhead refuses to lift To take a glance at this breath-taking sight Aburning sensation in my heart Doubt A mystery leaves a residue in my soul Despite this wonderous view My feet are like fifty pound cylinders My arms are anchorted down my sides I can't move My surroundings are not truth To what ails my heart Regret Raindrops patter on the leaves Grayness lines the world One of the drops hits my cheek When I lift my weighted hands To wipe away the drop I threw it into the air And the drop glittered Maybe there can be A small truth in this dream world Maybe its hope that keeps it alive That keeps me existing in this wonderouls place But can this confused child That I have become Build strength from the hope To move on To fill inthe widening gap In my heart I have to find the one thing That can stop these raindrops on my cheek |
Untitled It hurts to be afraid of life I can't take this chance To be with everyone else I'm still shut up in this dark closet With the floating images of the distant past Always wondering how it all came to be Why must this mystery restrain me From stretching my had and asking for help? But where am I suppose to stretch my hand to When yours is not there And there's no other in sight? |

Untitled It's not fair Why is the only question That always pops into my head. Swollen from crying Poudning constantly I don't deserve to suffer like this Stuggling ina world that harneses my future I can see all around me The normal lives Who have never seen half the pain My heart has. Even though I tried to build that for myself It comes crumbling down Flat on my face When will my life Find the peace so many already have? Is there a life out there waiting for me? I can't help but shiver Tears trickling down Why is the only question I have |
Why does it have to be this way? Hear me screaming? Don't you wonder why Doom provokes the worst kind of fear It's cold hands slivering Creeping, seeping Up my stomach and my shivering chest Dripping a cold, greasy sweat My breath taken away I can't help but feel Alone Confused Scared I don't know what to do I can't breathe anymore Gasping, I realize I'm dying That hands of regret holding onto me tighter Do you want to know why? As I watch you slowly turn away from me I can't beat to let you go Why. . . |

Passing Throught the Crowd I have a dream That someday I would see you Walking down the busy street I'll recognize a face in the crowd Findingthat its and old friend I haven't talked to in years I'll walk right up to him Pushing through the people Anticipating th esmile as I call his name Knowing that he's just as happy as I am Embracing all the years away And talking like we were continuing a conversation We had yesterday Catching up and laughing our age away Back to the youthfulness we had possessed Talking for the same hours about the nothing we use to think was something When the time comes We'll embrace the years back Turning to find that even as we leave We actually never left each other Secretly smiling as we walk away Disappearing into the crowd. |
Protected Innocence The words cannot come to my mouth Standing in front of a person I've been yearning to talk to Feeling his absence in my life Days had felt so long and dreadful Though I realized there's a life out there You can't erase the pain I could go on for fifty years Passing through the days Traped within my world of depression Wondering if he remembered I don't have to, anymore I'm standing in front of him again Gazing as all my questions are answered Seeing that his were answered as well As I observe the joy in his eyes I can't bring myself to tell him The new pain I've been bourght with We're not the same people Who stood together once before We're older as time punishes our mistakes We're different, sperated into our own lives All I want is to see that innocent joy It hurts so bad To still be feeling his absence in my life As he stands in front of me. |

A Hero is Born It honestly hurts To look at the New York skyline And now that you are missing from my life You comforted me And saw me grow Through all my troubles But as I watched you fall so easily And saw who you took with you I was sad you had no choice You were special and unique The symbol of the American Dream The rise to sucess; the fall to death Yet marking a turn in our society You'll guide us ina wayno one thought before Proving that you'll return again To show the world what Amercia means You'll return into our memories In our war cries against terrorism In our history books of the future You'll help society realize That life is precious in every moment By bring back the love, the moral, the value You'll be a hero. |
Can You see the Snow-capped Mountains? Can you see the snow-capped mountains? The clouds are slowly streaming Over the peaks that stretch so high Covered int he frost's magical dust I'll sit here on my rolling hill top Pulling my sweater closer As the clold wind blows on an Autum evening The field below are covered in faded green Swaying in musical silence Edging upon the dusk's horizen My ice blue eyes gazing in amazement those tall mountains in the distance Stretching so high Wathcing the clouds hover around them Keeping me company in my lonliness I'll think of all the people in the world Who aren't here with me To see the beauty of this picture Their cold hars winds Have led me to this place Pulling my sweater closer Wishing for the warmth of someone's comforting hand To land on my shoulder As the sun quickly disappears The stars begin to appear I'll wish that I could see them In this land of lonliness Without the painful tears so blue The frost of night coming quick Pulling myseather closer still Shivering in the wind I love thos snow capped mountains Whose clouds remain so near They will stay warm With the comfort of an extra white blanket Faded gree keeping the silence inthe land With frost falling tears to mourn along thos mountains My hands will only shiver My voice will only quiver The moon comes out in the night to land a light I'm so alone, so hurt Sitting on my rolling hill top With no warm hand to comfort me My heart longing for the winds to switch direction Leading me to their arms But as the night runs on I'll come closer to the snow-capped mountains When I close my eyes To dream of you. |

Untitled I've tried so hard And no one cares I foudn that I'm alone To survie a battered world Seeming so worthless to me now I'm weak Cause the beat me Made me bleed til I couldn't move Striking pain in my consciousness Pounding harder, harder I fought back Kept my pride strong Worked so hard for the things I earned I loved, appreciated In the end, I saw what a waste I was Lying limp on the ground The world of black all around |
Untitled I'm screaming Louder and harder than the rest This insecurity building along Ambiguity A world I fear as much as dread Nothing is safe from persecution I'm a target because I won't fight But the anger consumes me I'm gasping for a breath The thoughts twirling The walls closing on me Why can't they leave me alone the demons make my thoughts twisted Raging, uncontrollable madness And everything in the world scattered No end Don't trust anything percieved Behind every corner lurks your enemy Once a friend so dear All you can hear is the wash of rain Warm and red as it drips down your head A jump start to your heart Screaming louder every second Cleansed of all hope They're gonna catch me dead And I'm not going to be able to stop it |

Whispered Secret Hero. . . Whispered from my mouth Intensity running through me Feeling it in my heart I've just told you my secret A thousand voices speaking at once Finally reach their destiny I watch the intensity in your eyes Anticipating your reaction What are you thinking? Curiousity is all that stops me from crying Why are you so quiet, so contempt? The words you've spoken The ways you've helped me Acts that seemed so simple All you did was dare to listen Dare to stand next to me Dare to search for one another in a crowd That was all it took to make the difference To pick me up when I was down To understand Even though you knew my thoughts all along You still whispered. . . Thank you. |
