My Foggy Crystal Ball

I look into my crystal ball
To predict my future
But why is my ball foggy?
Is it because my future
Will never be foretold?
Or is it because
I have no future
And this is my destination?
Shall I know?
Not until
My crystal ball
Is foggy no longer

Human With Flaws

All I am
Is a human with flaws
You can't change me
You can't me no
And you can't erase my problems
Just a human with flaws?
I guess, this sounds
Normal
There is a person
Behind the flaws
Can you see her?
She's beautiful
Smart, Happy... Perfect
But no one sees her
Do they?
So, yes, all I am
is a human with flaws
But everyone can change
And so can I

Older Brother

As if my day
Couldn't get much worse
My 'older borther' comes along
And makes it horrid
The tears are starting to crash
I want to scream at you
But I'm choking inside
If your supposed to be my brother
Why don't you protect me?
Support me, Help me, and hold me.
Instead you hurt me more and more
And make my heart tear
Little by little
Some older brother you are
When you make me feel so small

This is dedicated to my, not geneticlly related brother, Dakota

Pink Coat

The pink coat
She put on when it was cold
The pink coat
That was hung up when she was home
The pink coat
That kept her warm
The pink coat
That witnessed her first cut
The pink coat
She wore when she was crying
The pink coat
That knew her plans
The pink coat
That saw what happened
The pink coat
She had on when she walked in front of that truck
The pink coat
That witnessed it all
The pink coat
Had no one to keep warm, now

They're Noticing

I sit
An average day
I roll my arm over
He notices first
What happened to your arm?
I look at the cuts
That are freshly there
Nothing my cat attacked me
I say
He smiles and turns back around
But it's not my cat's fault
It's my fault
I made the cuts
With my old scissors
Next, She notices them
What happened?
I look at my arm
With the healing scars
Nothing, My cat
She smiles and laughs

This Guitar

He keeps his sercrets
Under his shirt sleeve
And hides his face
In his black hair
It hangs in his eyes
And all the girls think he's so cute
Why can't they see it?
Sometimes
He hides behind the school
And plays his guitar
It's so beautiful;
The rhythm he plays
No one notices what he does when he goes home
Because his mom's always drunk
And his dad's abusing her
And the boy tries to step in
To stop his mother from getting hit anymore
But it doesn't work
His father hits him instead
And he goes to his room

As Fog Would See It

A tear sheds from my eyes
And I keep attaching myself to people
And they just puch me down
And then there was you
Peering out of the fog
I barely saw you
So I tried ignoring it
And denying what we could have
But when I passed you in the halls
You would stare back at me
You appeared again
The fog growing thinner
And I pretend I didn't see anything
And you look down and miserable
That I don't see anything yet
I sit in the corner of my bathroom
Crying
And there the fog is
It's gone now
There's nothing left
