Freedom, Alas

Free from these chains that bind me,
some say I'm too young to stand tall,
but I say Be True, Be You,
love yourself any which way.

love me or hate me,
care or not,
I know I'm more than this,
and more than you.

I have friends who love me,
a path to follow,
faith to hold me strong,
and peace to free me.

I speak my mind,
I will become new,
my mind is open,
and I choose to let it be.

Hiding Behind Pain

To wonder is to dream,
of all the possibilities,
just look at them all,
waiting for you.

But you just close your eyes,
without a care,
you don't even see,
who's standing there.

You say you have no hope,
no strength or truth,
but my dear,
it's all within you.

You have a choice,
to let the truth burn,
but instead you say,
'Maybe on my next turn.'

Mirror

Who is that person,
that keeps staring at me,
whenever I go to look,
in a mirror?

I don't know her,
for who she's become,
I only know her,
for who she was.

She was so kind,
and thoughtful before,
but now she hides,
within the deeps shadows.

She's not who I thought,
she would become,
if anything she's,
the exact opposite.

Birds To Fly

A day,
a love,
a smile,
a wink.

You make me smile,
you make me cry,
you make me laugh,
you make me get by.

I feel love at the sight,
I get lost in those eyes,
I feel pain knowing there's no 'we, '
I get lost by your words of love.

You make my day,
you always have,
you make my tears,
you make them hurt.

Save Me From This

A tear forming within my eye,  
As I just sit and pass time by,  
You will never know how I feel,  
Not even during your last breath.

My heart breaks because your gone,
I never thought you would,
Leave and never return,  
But it seems I was wrong.

We were great friends,
And I'll never let it go,
We did share everything,
But now I really don't know.

I love you cuz your my sis,
But now it's hard to know,  
If time will go back,  
And free you from the lies.

Never

minds unfolding,
hearts racing,
the clock ticking,
as I just sit and wait.

waiting till time ends,
till I'm free,
free from these chains,
and free from the pain.

somewhere it's safe,
someday I'll be too,
but until I find it,
I'm stuck here without you.

you were my freedom,
my sanctum and hope,
but now I don't know,
where have you gone?

Now I Know

Now I know,
the love in your heart,
that yearns for me,
as mine does for you.

I never thought I'd see it,
all of this love,
that you've kept hidden,
for what seems like years.

I never would've guessed,
I'd ever smile so much,
but knowing you feel,
the same makes me smile.

It's funny really,
how I thought wrong,
how you were always there,
right behind me.

I Begin To Fall Apart

I begin to fall apart
as you just stand and stare
if only you knew
then you'd understand me

a single tear starts to shed
as you walk by
you don't seem to notice me
but yet I've noticed you

today the start of a new life
I open the doors and wonder in
I will no long see you as I did
for I start a new chapter

I'll miss you truly
things will never be the same
if only they could
and I get my fairytale ending

Faith

Faith grows stronger,
day by day,
with or without you,
here to stay.

Faith is love,
that only some share,
faith is life,
in which can be fair.

to me faith calls you,
you must listen,
as wind rushes by you,
pay attention to that hissin'.

love joy hope and peace,
they all come together,
you must find them all,
to become freed forever.

Leaving Me

do you remember that day,
when you tried to say goodbye,
then you said you'll stay for me,
because I almost cried,
you gave me this smile,
not because your staying,
but because you'd be missed,
just the thought of you leaving,
it makes me want to cry,
thinking about the time we shared,
and the time passing by,
it'll hurt more when you do leave,
so why even bother?
we have shared laughs,
we've shared hours,
but I can't let it go,
I can't let you go,
I'll miss you too much,
and I'd hope you'd miss me,
just saying goodbye isn't enough,
