I rather be surrounded by my loving family,
than popular people who hate me.
I rather be surrounded by popular people who hate me,
than friends who secretly dislike me.
I rather be surrounded by friends who secretly dislike me,
than be alone.
I rather be alone,
than being with someone and think I’m the only one.
I rather be the only,
than no one.
I rather I have no number,
than you send me a wrong text.
I rather I have no phone,
than I call and see waiting.
I rather I didn’t join Facebook
than write “I love you” on your wall.
I rather not go through this today,
than talk to you at all.
I rather I be heartless,
than to be in love with you now.
I rather me, than you, so go along.

Why did you bring me here? The innermost parts of my being cry. Like raging floods, the bitterness wells up inside. Drowning? No. Paining? Yes! Why drown in others' sorrows? Why cry because you're present but forgotten? My mind paints a still life of illusions My heart thumps like drums at Independence time Worried? No. Crazy..........? Still, still, time hold still! Let me shake you until rainbows change to pregnant clouds Let me flip you so that never-ending mountains shrink 'til beggars stand and preach high words to lofty minds And from the earth the spilled blood grabs the feet of two-faced men 'til mothers stop rocking cradles to calm screams but look, ask why I try to stop the world For when the baby stretched, his hands did break the crib And when you rocked, my screams grew louder. So pick me up before I waste away Do not leave me here!

My love for you is as cool as the ocean As we walked through the waves with love and devotion It’s your personality that shines to me

Maybe a little romance is needed Lightening our days in all this grey To place a smile on our faces

People say I am vain,
Too into myself and that's just insane,
Somehow I wish to disagree,

Loyalty, trust, faith, friendship?
You'd think they were true
Their laughing faces as they smile
When you turn your back they are laughing , yeah at you!

"Have you ever been there?
Where the clouds are never in motion...
The birds are stuck in mid-flight....
Waves never break on the shore...

His eyes are green and beautiful,
His lips an angel's touch.
His heart my one true castle,
Can anyone ask for so much?

My eyes are so red, They burn as I stare at this page, Confused, so out of it in a daze. I can't seem to focus.

As days go by
Life flashes
Time passes
An eternity is what it seems
