Its not safe out there.
For you or me.
Its not safe out there. In the streets.
People feeding their addiction. Others beg to be something..
That they are not.
When I see your face it's only but a blur, I can't even recognize you anymore I can't breathe, yet I remain calm I feel the sting in my chest I just want to rest.
Dear my old self,
I wanted you to see the sunrise again,
How the freedom to stroll through Denver in the mornings,
Became like your second home.
Depression,
you're so strong,
you leave such a great impression.
PLEASE! Leave me alone!
Leave me alone so I can go back home.
Today, I caught a sadness.
It started by waking in a room with no sun,
no arms around my waist, whispered promises in my ear.
It spiraled up my legs as I walked out the door
I do not need your book definitions
Or words that lack emotions
To explain who I am or what I feel.
There is no one clear picture of me,
Michelangelo could do his best to paint my soul
Believe in yourself,
and what life has in store.
Just never forget your past,
and remember what you live for.
You have touched the hearts
of the people around you.
You are loved by so many;
No, I'm not a Babie girl
I'm not the fastest swimmer
I'm not the smartest student
I'm not the best daughter
I'm going for the top
I got it on lock
Its no crock
I'm sturdy as a rock
That will never crumble like a stock
This is why I have a flock
They would follow me around any block
So don't be in shock
Cut your hair boy,
Why are you bald.. you are a girl.
You do not meet expections,
but it isn't you, it is just the world...
Yes hunny it is ugly.
I am not going to explain the scars on my wrist
Or size of my waist to the ratio of my hips.
I’m not going to apologize for the way my ribs protrude
As I hear the pounding on the door and learn who is there,
I think, "No, no no."
As I am told to come downstairs to be told what happened,
I say, "No, no, no."
I wish I was the person I was,
I wish I was the person I was.
Wait a minute,
The person I was, is the person I am.
Forever changed by events called life.
The person I was is hard to find,
Little kids
with sticky hands,
rush toward their superman.
Begging for a taste,
begging to be set free.
A hero.
A leader.
Someone to look up to,
they stand above everything.
Keep Spinning
Life is a broken Merry Go ‘Round,
Continuously whirling in blurry rotations
They always want more from youYou can never give them enoughYou can try your hardestAnd do you bestBut it will not be good enough to themThat is when you need to leave
You can do itLife gets hard sometimes
But you can do itJust keep going
Do it for yourselfBecause you are important
You must give your life meaningEven if you feel like nothing is left
A single tear holds the most sorrow
A day was here, next there's no tomorrow
A dreamer lost up in his cloud
Reality had to bring him down
Who holds the future now?
Take a deep breath and brace yourself. Take your steps 'til accomplishment is felt. Move ahead three steps at a time or what works best for you. Don't ever stop or miss your cue, because success doesn't move without you.
Instead of chasing balls with friends
I was focusing on something else instead
In four months time
I would find
That dishes only what you can handle
It's rather scary for a 9 year old to go under the scalpel
