Dreams

Dreams randomly appear in one's head
No one can control it
Day dreaming awake or asleep in bed
They flow naturally throught the mind

They can be sweet but don't seem to last
Some dream of the future
While others, the past
They can be the wildest dreams come true

No one notices the details in dreams
They float effortlessly along
Not looking at the seams
That bind it together

Simply, all see what they wish
Enjoying the moment
Letting sleep grab their wrist
And lead them into perfection

The New World

The bright, shiny new place
Picture perfect semblannce
But there are cracks at the base
Though everything seems okay

I'm in a new environment on my own now
All I can do is blend in and adapt
If only I knew how
I must trust my instincts

As I'm warming up to them I seem to be doing fine
I find others that I fit with
Who aren't straight in line
They're different, like me, finally

Those I can relate to
That know me so well now
As opposed to those I knew
It seems like a lifetime ago

I was a pawn
Not able to be myself
Thought I kept some friends as I moved on
I lost the ones untrue

Vibes

Everything has a pulse,

Nothing is silent.

Like water rushing by.

But not every pulse is violent.

There are small waves of energy.

Vibes, one might say.

All things give out something

In their own special way.

Some people are always happy,

So they give off good waves.

While others spread gloom

That makes others want to hide in caves.

Animals can sense them, too.

If the owner is sick, the pet stays close by.

They also sense fear and anger

When the room is tense, they will hide.

Everything has a pulse, vibe, or some kind of energy.

No matter how it’s said.

Everyone sees the message.

It’s not just in their head.

Stress

When one is under stress,
They become aware.
They see every mess,
Every detail, every hair.

The pressure builds until it hurts,
One gets shaky, nervous, or will cry.
Their emotions burst.
Desperate, they sink inside as they try to hide.

Soon one goes insane,
And they feel so lost,
They scramble their brain,
Or face the problem and pay the cost.

Change

Things happen in the blink of an eye,
Good to bad, bad to good, live or die.

Everything goes wrong but can come together,
But there are twists and turns.
Perfection won't last forever.

Things happen so fast.
They never last.

When life is great, it can fall apart.
You can't stop it.
Tragedy strikes like a dart.

Thing happen, life is crazy,
But we keep moving when the road is hazy.

The Two of Them

The Two of Them
I’ve never been so confused about you,
And what about the other one, too?
You and I were there so long it’s like a daze,
But he and I are just a blank page.


What do I do now?
How do I figure this out?
I might still feel for you but I don’t know.
But what about him? I can’t leave him feeling so low.


I can’t control my feelings at all.
I don’t want to make anyone fall,
But I feel the way I do,
Too bad I can’t read my feelings, and neither can you.


Someone throw me a life line.
And I’d say that I’m fine,
But really I’m not.
I’m getting dizzy and the room is feeling hot.


Weighing my options has never been so hard,
I’m keeping them in, my emotions are jarred.
They are both so sweet,
All this tension is raising the heat.


With one, I’ve had all the fun and laughs,
And I’ve known all through my past.
But the other is waiting for me,
We’ve become great friends, but should we risk that so early?


I am so confused about guys,
I really don’t want to lie.
But if I hurt someone I’ll feel bad for them and me,
So I’ll just have to wait and see.


So many questions without any answers,
My curiosity spreads like cancer.
I wonder “which will be my guy?”
As I look to the clouds in the sky.

One Little Secret

Stricken with guilt, I cannot move.
I must tell what I saw so all can be smooth.
A dirty little secret between the boys,
It’s as if they were just playing with toys.


They trust to tell only one,
But that one told me so I’ll ruin their fun.
No more lying for you.
It’s time to do what you’re supposed to.


I will no longer feel bad,
And though they will be mad,
I must let loose,
And tell the truth.

Moving On

I will miss my best friends,
Who were always there until the end.
As I leave my old school behind,
I hop high school will be just as kind.
A tear jerks me eye,
As I take a final glance and say goodbye.

Graduation

The day has come, it's finally here,
I get butterflies as they cheer,
The big eighth graders leaving at last,
We'll move on, but remember the past.


Walking with my class as parents smile,
As memories flash through my mind for awhile,
Walking has never been so hard, as I leave my school,
Pushing on, but feeling like I'm in a whirlpool.


Grade School, Remember me well,
On my short comings, do not dwell,
I feel hot tears,
As I hear the cheers,


I finally start to cry,
As I say my last goodbye.

Peace

Sometimes stress is here,
But it doesn’t have to be.
Just think of something without fear,
And maybe we’ll all see.
So many people fear and stress,
But just take your time.
When they pull themselves together and aren’t a mess,
We will be just fine.
When peace is here,
There is calmness in the air.
Serenity is near.
Go along without a care.

Whispers

nothing can stop them
"silence!" someone yells but still people speak
no one can resist
they must still utter silent squeaks

Hope

The one word that means the most
in the time of pain
when almost all is lost
and there is nothing left to gain


it can mean the most
when its from someone who cares
its all someone needs
when they are in despair


the one special word
one syllable that helps
when the depressed give up
and want to scream and yelp


the word is not love
though it would help those who mope
but it is that lifting word
and that word is hope.

Clocks

The clock ticks on
no matter what went wrong
there is always a chime
at every hour's time
no way to go back
the only thing we lack
is to keep time well
maybe to push back time to stop the times we fell.

Inspired

Why does it take so much effort,
Just to be inspired?
Why does it have to have so much thought,
And makes the mind tired.

Is it that hard to imagine?
Think colorful thoughts
And let your mind wander
That’s where the best ideas are caught.


Rather than stress to fill a deadline
Or think things too much
Just float and it will come,
Just let your mind get a clutch.


Keep your mind open
And don’t let someone limit it
Break through everything
Just so the light bulb’s lit.

Ocean

I don’t know how,
I don’t know why,
But life is an ocean,
With everything floating by.

Sometimes you have a ripple,
Which isn’t a big deal.
But then there comes a tidal wave,
That’s too overwhelming to feel.

Sometimes there are happy waves,
Calmly crashing when the pace is slow.
When everything is quiet,
As you watch the suns soft glow.

Other times it hurts,
A hurricane on the shore.
When all you want to do is cry,
Ignore others, and lock the door.


That’s why friends are here,
To keep you in between tides,
The ones who will stand by you,
Not someone who runs and hides.


Good and bad moods pass come and go,
Just as the seas change, too.
Loose yourself with friends when tsunamis come,
But when waves are small, save drowning friends near you.

Flying

I feel like I’m flying,
Living, soaring, I’m doing anything but dying.
Swooping down to have my head in the clouds,
Hearing the wind in my ears, so loud.


Then I remember where I really am,
I’m on the ice, swiftly skating and then stop with a BAM.
Pushing off the wall, I fly once more,
Nothing can get me off of this floor.


Destined to fly while on the ice,
Every minute I’m rolling dice.
Even if I ever fall, I know that something will catch me,
So I can again fly high and be a bird in a tree.


I will never surrender this feeling,
It is so amazingly healing.
I need to be this way,
So I can soar every day.

Friendship

We had our fights,
But we made it all right.


Your advice is so good.
Sometimes I don’t listen when I should.


Through boys, family, and school drama,
You cheered me up by talking about llamas.


Through the fun,
We laughed at lame jokes that will never be done.


You have been there for me,
Forever and Always, that is the key.

Tunnel

They say to keep pushing on,

But it’s just so hard.

I feel like I’m just a pawn,

Being moved again and again.



I can’t find the light,

There’s supposed to be an end to the tunnel.

Maybe they weren’t right,

It takes more than a day to get through life.



I keep pushing through,

Looking for the end.

Someone put me in this tunnel and I know who,

Where is the end of this twisting tunnel?



I still can’t see it.

There is a long fight ahead.

It will be a tiring fit,

For this period of my life.



Please let it finally open up,

Maybe I’ll see the light soon.

I can almost smell the roses and buttercups,

Even though I’m still lost in the dark.



It’s hard to push on and shine.

Sometimes I don’t think it can get better.

I think I’m running out of time,

Until I will someday find the light.

Message in a Bottle

Message in a bottle,

Hidden from the world.

I feel like I’m a model,

Waiting for it to unfold.



Trying to look perfect but so desperate inside,

It’s hard to keep it all in.

Wanting to share the secrets that I must hide,

Maybe I just can’t win.



Can I please tell someone?

I’ll be okay if I let it out.

Not many, just one, and I’m done,

They won’t tell anyone, please don’t doubt.

Curiosity

VERSE 1:


There you are, there you are,

So close but still so far.

You look at me, standing here.

I look back with rising fear.

Feel butterflies, and give a smile.

Hoping you’ll stay there awhile.

Things get awkward fast,

So I leave before it lasts…



REFRAIN:


Can’t you see, sparks are flying?

And inside I might be dying.

I’m confused with what we have,

Is it good? Or is it bad?

Are we friends, or is it more?

Should we stay, or explore?

Do I like you? Do you like me?

You kill my curiosity.



VERSE 2:


I make my hair look nice,

But it feels like I’m rolling dice…

When you look, I get chills to the bone,

But nothings written in stone.

How do I know if you’re for real?

How do I know what is you’re deal?

Are we meant to be?

Is there something we can’t see?



REFRAIN





VERSE 3:


How did you figure this out? (Was it obvious?)

Did you think that I had any doubts?

You’re the one that I need,

So why are you making me bleed?

Or do you even know?

Or do I have to show…

That we were meant to be!


REFRAIN


FINAL VERSE:

Can’t you see, sparks are flying?

And inside, I might be dying.

Do you know how I feel?

Do you feel it, too? Is it real? (Is it real?)

Do you like me the way I feel for you?

Do you feel the same way I do?

Do you need me like I need you?

Do you need me like I do?

Beach

The soft earth below me is firm but gives way,

Showing my footprints as I walk each day.

Slowly and carefully I creep on the sand,

Avoiding each rock on my way back to land.



The waves and red sky lay before me,

Enjoying each moment is the key.

The calming breeze streams through my hair,

Wiping away my every care.



The setting sun is a dimming ember,

This place is public, no special members.

The ocean waves crashing, so strong and slow,

As I look down and see the different shells, below.



Small specks of sand dance around me,

This is peaceful and quiet, unlike the city.

My way to relax is this,

I am in my bliss.



I’m standing here, watching the night unfold,

The only sun left is a sliver of gold.

The day has come to an end,

I smile, reflecting, as I turn the bend.

Raindrops

Let it rain, let all my spirits fall with it

Let it wash everything down, to a clean start

For only a little while, it looks so depressing

But if you listen, you can hear the amazing sounds within

Let it rain, as I slowly look up

Let it cleanse me of all I’ve done

For only a little while, feel time freeze

But if you listen, you can still hear the rhythm

Raindrops fall with a steady beat

As if it’s drumming the ground

I hear the music within

Giving the world a second chance to watch

No one sees what I see

No one hears what I hear

The rain is soothing to only few people

It gives many people an escape they do not take

No one sees the world I see

No one hears the songs I hear

The rain is trying to help

It gives many people a song, but they never listen

Many are scared of it

Many are to busy to see it

It’s the simple pleasure of a second chance

That no one bothers to even notice

Many are annoyed by it

Many are mad at it

It’s the simplicity of rain

That no one bothers to even notice

Puppet Strings

I am a puppet on strings that longs to be free,

Controlled by one or another, I just can’t be me.

I get to be myself for a while,

Lost in my rhythms, away from exile.

But soon I’m pulled from both directions,

They are trying to show me their affections.

Pulled until the strings snap,

Pointed in so many directions without a map.

I’m okay, but not always with pride,

Maybe I’m being sucked into the tide.

Just a puppet on strings still sitting there,

Many people over flooding with care.

I can control myself now, but can you?

Trying to make me do the things you want me to.

Friends

We each have our own group of friends,

But we’ll be there for each other until the end.

It kills me that we’ve been growing apart,

But we can restore our friendship if we open our hearts.



I hope you feel the same way,

And we can have our old friendship back again some soon day.

Many has changed for the both of us,

Some things are lost under the dust.



I’m glad I have you back,

We need to make a pact.

That you’ll be there, and so will I,

Forever friends, until we die.

Sunset

The yellow is the sun setting down,

The red is the fiery glow around.

But the impact across the sky,

Shines on clouds slowly passing by.



Made from two different colors that came together,

An individual is made, but won’t last forever.

Not forgotten, the mixture comes back each day,

For an image that will forever stay.
