The Friend That You've Outgrown

Here's to the friend that you've outgrown.

The one whose name is left unknown.

The one who wiped away your tears,

And sough to hold your hand.

When others turned the other way,

No beginning, just an end.

She's the one you turned to,

The one that you called friend.

She laughed with you, she cried with you,

And felt it was her duty,

To remind you of your worth,

And all your inner beauty.

When others' eyes could only dwell,

Upon your exposed outer shell.

They saw a fat girl steeped in braces,

Not seeing you they turned their faces.

But she was there to whisper,

When others didn't care.

She held your secrets in her heart,

That friends like you could share.

You never had to be alone,

But now she is, 'cause you've outgrown

Her for those others whose laughs you share.

As you run carefree through the air.

Time has eased your form and face,

But she's the one who knew your grace

When those who you now call your friend

Saw no beginning... only end.

- C.S Dweck

All I Can't Say

There's so many words I can't say
when I look into your eyes.

Maybe you'll reject me
and shatter all my pride.

Each day my love grows stronger
but I won't let you know

There's way too much behind my smile
that i can never show.

I'd hold you for a lifetime
if you would take my hand.

I'd love you like no other
but you don't understand.

Every time I see you
you're holding on to her.

The pain cuts like a dagger
making wounds that never cure.

So I'll dream of us together--
of how good it could be.

And I will keep the secret love
you could have had with me.

-Nina Yocco

With Honor

If I have to be your best friend
If that's all that i can get
Then I'll take the job with honor
I'll be the best one yet.
I'll offer you my shoulder
I'll show how I care
I'll be there when you need me
I'm not going anywhere.
If I have to be your best friend
The one who hears you cry
Then I'll take the job with honor
I'll take the job with pride.
My love for you is stronger
Than you will ever know
But for you to ever love me
I will have to let you go
You need time to find your purpose
You need time to sort your thoughts
But when the course has ended
And the face is finally run.
Remember it's your best friend
Who has loved you from day one.

-Erin Kelly

Someone Speical

There's someone special in my life
Who doesn't know I are
I wish I could let him Know it
But let it show, I wouldn't dare.

I don't want to even risk it
I don't want to even try
For if he knew I felt this way
I'd feel insecure and shy.

I never thought I'd feel this way
I never thought I'd care
There's something in that smile of his
That makes me stop and stare.

How can I feel if he likes me?
Will he ever look my way?
I'll keep my feelings hidden for now
And save them for another day.

- Olivia Odom

Illusion

I though I saw you look at me,
I thought I saw you stare.
Do you know I think you're cute?
I like the look you bare.
Are my eyes deceiving me,
when I see you standing there?
Are you playing tricks on me,
just to prove I care?

Are you an illusion,
is it only my mind?
Do you look at me,
as I do you,
to see if you can find
a little bit of interest,
a stolen glance you way?
Will you come and talk to me,
or watch me day to day?

You may have taken notice
that I'm not very shy.
I like to tell my girlfriends
when I like a certain guy.
I do not mean to scare you,
but I've thought of you a lot.
and now I simply want to know,
do you like me, too-- or not?

- Julian Arizona

Alone

I didn't want to admit it,
It was easier to life,
And hide the hurt and emptiness,
To smile instead of cry.
I didn't want to face the fact,
My life is full of pain,
And I long to stop my bleeding heart,
And maybe smile again.
'Cause I feel oh-so-forgotten,
So betrayed and so alone,
Without a trace of forgiveness,
And no soul to call my own.
I didn't want to admit the facts,
I cannot spread my wings,
And my happiness had melted,
Into tears and other things.
It's hard for me to hide the fact,
My wishes have no home
And return to anguish,
Bow my head and cry alone.

-Becca Woolf

Dreaming Of Me

He's out there somewhere,
Waiting for me just like I'm waiting for him.
Feeling the same things I'm feeling right now,
Thinking there many never be an end to this loneliness,
The longing,
The void that grows with each passing minute.
He's out there,
Somewhere,
Dreaming of me.

-Miriam Perez

I Wonder

I wonder,
What I could do
Or day
To make him like me.
I wonder,
What or who
I need to be
To be his.
I wonder,
When just being me
Will be enough.

-Miriam Perez

Forgotten

Here I sit, all alone.

But you don't know

Because you have forgotten me.

It hurts to know

But there is nothing I can do

Because you have forgotten me.

You used to think about me

And used to talk to me

But not anymore

Because you have forgotten me.

There is no way for me to grab your attention

But I won't mention it, because there is too much tension,

Because you have forgotten me.

I know if I have forgotten you

You would be blue.

But I'll stay true,

Because you have forgotten me.

Beside me

Beside Me

Beside me I see my future, my hopes and dreams
The person I want to be with the rest of my life
Still scared of how it all is going to end

Beside me I see a hero
Someone to help me with my fears
My pains, my struggles. To help
Me with my troubles.

Beside me I see a mind reader
This person that knows everything I'm
About to say. Everything I'm thinking.

Beside me I see someone that holds my future,
He holds what's in me in his hands.
he helps pick what's going to happen next.

Beside me I see the man I'm about to
Marry; spend the rest of my life with.
The man I love

In the dark

In the dark there you lay

cold as ice in the clay

wishing to see the day

one more time to

Breathe the fresh air

Not thinking you're really done

That you never get to see

Your family again. Never get to tell the

Ones you really love that you

Love them. Hoping they know

You didn't really want to go.

But you felt it was time and everyone

Was pushing you away like you wert

Wanted anymore. All your hate was building up

And you had no clue what to do. But you should had of

Though again before you took that gun and brought it to the end!

Cars

Cars!

On the road with no where to go.

The tears are at a never ending flow.

You wish you had somewhere to go.

You just had a big old fight

And you tried with all your might.

He said he was done

And how you had won.

You're just having too much fun.

Now you're driving fast

And the gas won't last.

A car tried to pass;

And you try not to laugh.

Cars are coming both ways;

You start to daze.

You hit a tree

And try to breath.

Nothing would come out.

Where are your where abouts?

Now you felt bad

For the fight you had.

You didn't get to say good-bye to that man,

That had asked you hand.

You hope he knows you didn't mean it

When you said beat it.

There is nothing you can do now!

Your last thought is gone!

I try

I try

I try to e-mail you but it wont work
I try to get a hold of you and it hurts

I try to get you off my mind but I cant
I try to tell my heart its over but it cramps.

I try to stop all the feeling I have for you, but it wont happen
I try to break free, but your love was the most powerful weapon.

I try to run to you, but i cant move.
I try to get my eyes to move from your way but there stuck on you.

I try to tell myself its over, but i wont believe.
I try to tell you good bye, but it makes me want to bleed.

I try to stop the tears, but its you in need dear.
I try to tell you your wrong for what you did,
that's why you drink so much beer.

I try to sleep once again, to get you away.
I try to bear the next day.

The end

Have you ever wanted to tell someone that you liked them

And they were the one.

The one that you thought about all night

As you laid there in bed

With the kind hearted music flowing

You wish they were there

So you could tell them how much you care!

Would you dare?

But you're to scared

To even talk to him

So they don't anything about you?

Does he even know your name?

What a shame!

Your graduation is in a few days and you may never see them again.

You really should begin.

You may even win!

But you can't get the nerve to even walk up to him!

What fun it could have been

You just lay there on your bed

With a never-ending flow to your head.

Today

Today

Today is the day that I tell you how I feel

The way I watch you from around the corner

The way I hide when your by

The way you make me want to cry.

Today is the day that I tell you, you're in my dreams

The way your arms are around me when i sleep

The way you kiss me oh so deep

The you whisper in my ear, ever so dear.

Today is the day that I tell you how I see you.

The way you have your hair

The way you take a dare

The way you melt in the air.

Today is the day that I say forget it, I'm to scared

The way your looks make me fear

The way your smile is so dear

The way your friends make you cheer

Today is the day that I tell you good-bye.

The way you don't act like I'm near

The way you make me want to lie.

Today is the day that I lost the one I cared about.

Untited

Love

Hate

Fear for that day

Pissed

Annoyed

No where to turn

Alone

No home

Where should you go

Confused

Forsaken

Maybe your mistaken

Blood

Rage

It all feels like a maze

Here

Gone

Hopefully its all a daze!

Family

i don't fit in

i stand out

but not in shame.

I am different

im not the same

they all are lame

They do things in there lifes

but i cant not blame.

I wish they would change.

I'm the only one out of the chain

but yet, i feel the same.

Misunderstanding

A misunderstanding blown up
like a knife thrown into the sky
It falls down and hits me in the heart.
It hurts so bad.
You don't know where to start.
Go re-read misunderstanding.
I don't need you here.
You hurt me
You mess things up!
You can go away misunderstanding.
You make enough fear,
to fill up the earth.
Why do you keep following me,
I dont need you Misunderstanding.

Nope

You think I'm sad

But I'm not.

You weren't a big loss

I haven't cared.

Like you think I did.

Your nothing.

And never will be.

A sad one.

Red in the face

Blue in the heart

Purple on the skin as

The world falls apart

Brown hair that is no longer attached

Pink nails that have been detached

She just couldn't reach the latch

He went to far

Now he'll be behind bars

This doesn't feel done.. but its good enough for now.
