The world is partly full of dreamers,
but of those parts,
of the world
how many
of those
dreams come to be?
when and if those
dreamers, dreams
come true
how
oh how.
you had your chance your chance
when we were young
my heart it was set
on you ,crushed by you
you would walk by i would melt
i'm sure you knew how i felt
i knew then i had set my hopes too high
and when they were painfully crushed
i felt i was gonna die
you had your chance your chance
when we were young
when we were young, young
you thought you were too good for me
too good too talk to me
look at me
too good to even make fun of me
you had your chance, your chance
when we were young
when we were young, young
now that we're grown you come to me
i hear your brain moan
you say you'ved loved me loved me always
i tell you how, oh how i want to believe you
but i cant not now i cant, cant believe you
how do you feel now that the tables
they have turned
you had your chance your chance
when we were young when we were young
its taken long but i've washed you
out of my memory
and my heart pain has faded
but
oh how long its taken
i'm sorry to say without regret
you had your chance, your chance
when we were young
when we were young
when we
were young, when we were young,
young.
I am the seed, the pine tree seed
the seed put in the package by a robot
The seed who is put on a shelf by
a man with cold hands
I sit on the shelf motionless
sitting for years apon years
I sit there
until the store has a going out of bussiness sale
I am sold to and elderly couple for two cents
they take me
Plant me in their backyard
care for me
I have now been in that same spot for 50 years
and have never been more happy
the tree split shattering to the
bitter, rigid ground
the fawn scuttled through the forest
rustling through the fallen debris
running for cover
the world once as known is gone
theres lightining and rain all around
dark clouds masking the mountain side
rocks tumble from the hill crashing against
the falling hail
lightining burst, the brush horendously
a blaze
spreading, buring, burining all thats
in the way
years pass, in time the sun may shine
glitering through the trees,
nothing
nothing, however, shall ever be the same
some of them, their children were in the same building
being watched with care
some other people were there doing business
the sky, it was clear, the birds were chirping
there in that bulind were hundreds of people
consisting of all races, ages, and religions
none of them knew that at any second there life to end
not a soul in that building knew
that when they said goodbye to their families that morning
that it would be
the final goodbye
you see there was this man, this man was filled with hate
hate for the government
so this man he built a bomb
he placed this bomb in a rented truck
the truck he put next to the building
then he left so he would be sure not to be in harms way
in a little while, there was, this blast
was felt and heard all around
those people in the builing never did a thing to this man
yet he hurt them and everyone close to them
everyone there that day they were just so helpless,
they were in the wrong place at the wrong time
this man with his bomb that made a blast so powerful
it goudged the side of that building, letting it
crumple to the ground
all the children, mothers, fathers, husbands, and wives
aunts and uncles, grandmas and grandpas, neighbors and cousins
boyfriends and girlfriends. all these people carried
love
this one man he carried hate
and this mans hate killed all these people
leaving nothing to the ones who cared, but
memories.
I have this feeling
That my body is dying
The tears aren't there
But my eyes are crying
There's a lump in my throat
And a pain in my chest
There's so many things wrong
That my emotions can't rest
I watch as my world
Just crumbles apart
And as the things people say
Go straight to my heart
If they don't care
Why should I?
It's cause it hurts so bad
That I can't pass it by
So I'll sit all alone
And work through the pain
To try to survive
Life's little game.
i hold a candle
in my right hand
i hold my heart
my heart does not beat
there is only one
who can light my fire
and kick start my heart
my one and only love
Why do I have to feel this way,
the feelings are getting greater every day.
Every night I talk to you,
I wonder, are my feelings true?
I never imagined this would happen to me,
I know if I was with you, I'd never want to leave.
I want to be in your arms,
safe from all the worlds harm.
Why can't I get you off of my mind,
i think about you all the time.
I can't help but feel this way,
you make me feel wanted more and more each day.
You always wonder if I'll call,
but, I can't figure if you care at all.
You don't have the same feelings as me,
but I wish I could beg you please.
I want to find a way into your heart,
to know we'd never be apart.
I wish upon the stars and moon,
that I could be with you real soon.
To me this is all too right,
but why am I still alone at night?
In my dreams I am with you,
showing you my heart is true.
Whenever I was lonely,
You stood by me.
Whenever I gave up hope,
You made me see.
Whenever I needed to talk,
You were always there to listen to me.
Whenever I was in search for love and care,
Your heart opened up and our friendship bared.
Whenever I was in pain,
Your support got me through.
Whenever I was lost,
You would lead me to a path that you always knew,
Filled with happiness and joy.
Whenever I was in need of a friend,
To help me with my worries,
I met a friend like you.
The friend I'd always long for,
I friend I could truly love.
Happiness shall never leave,
For true friends shall never part.
The memories of happiness together,
Will always remain in my heart.
True friendship is a bond,
Which strengthens two friends
Closer together,
Forever and ever.
Walls around me black as night
Walls around me filled with fright
Where is the door that leads me out?
Somewhere near I have no doubt
I search and search the walls around
Then I fall silently to the ground
I'm going crazy . . . I'll soon crack
Maybe I really, really am trapped
He looked at me with blank, cold eyes.
Eyes that had once sparked with excitement the moment they met mine.
Eyes that had once smiled whenever he laughed.
Eyes that had once so captivated my heart...but now made me afraid.
His eyes spoke volumes.
They spoke not of happy things that we had once shared.
They spoke not of pleasure, but of dispair.
They spoke of unhappiness...unhappiness with me.
and then my heart broke.
I pleaded with my heart, my words, my outstretched arms and with MY eyes.
"Please, forgive me."
He looked at me with blank, cold eyes.
What was I to do?
I quickly closed my eyes...I made a wish...I even said a prayer.
Slowly I opened my eyes.
I pleaded again with my entire soul.
and then I saw the glimmer...a small one, but it was there.
I saw hope.
I saw that my wish might be granted...my prayer would be answered.
But I knew it would take time.
He looked at me today...with softer eyes.
He tried to tell me I make too much of things.
But his eyes had spoken what his heart had felt.
Even if he never did speak the words.
but I will take these softer eyes.
and my heart will heal.
i know you don't want me
i know you don't care
i know that life is too unfair
but i you don't want me then why do you pretend
i am filled with anger my anger will never end
i refuse to play along anymore
before this feeling pulls me into the floor
my life is a mess now
i thought that would change
then i found out you were using me
in your adolesent ways
it isn't fair
i thought you cared
but you don't
your just another guy
well,
at least i've learnt something,
guys like you will never change
but pretend no longer
you will get nothing from me
your just another guy
i'm just another girl
i'm feeling something i've never felt before
oh well,
life's rough
but you have brought new meaning to the statement
that life sucks
I have dark hair
yet i am not dark
i get good grades
yet i am not always serious
people they assume, assume way too often
those who know me best,
will beg to differ what people think
I am crazy and hyper
Colorful and silly
so i ask all of you,
all of you who judge
to not treat
all faces as one
a person
a limeaide
none of which will ever happen is uncertain
to take one path is to take a chance
to take another path that is the opposite, is unknown
the first path holds possible rejection
the second carries loneliness
if chosen, the first having two effects
the wanted of being love and admiration
the undesired may serve up hatered
the second path is safe
but that path is so boring, it is just so plain
Not hardly traveled by but more than one soul at a time
the others they have no worries, they would not be turned away
from the first
for this soul the outcome may differ
with choosing the second, unfortunately the truth,
it may turn out to be crystal clear
one day the second may fall into the first
making one path
but
if that is to happen, that is not certain
neither paths have an absolute ending,
but
the hypothesis for both is near to the truth
which way shall be chosen?
which one should be chosen?
do you choose plain with no harm?
or
bold happiness with possible heartbreak?
maybe the lone soul does not yet know
must one path be chosen over the other?
that is not clear either, and this may never be clear
That is the Unknown
We met nearly three years ago
yet it felt like I had known you an
Eternity
I had hoped to know you an eternity more.
I had put my trust in you
You were the only one of your group
the only one who treated me like a human,
Treated me with respect, like your
friend
What a fool I was,
I realize now, it must have been
an act
You meant the world to me
had you known that?
You helped to rise my wings
I never thought you would
be there to help bring them down
how could you?
I always thought you would be there,
I was miserable when you weren't
when you were in pain, I felt
I was always there for you
You had too, or so I thought
I truly hate to think
this might be it
It would have been easier
if you treated me like a nobody
but you didn't
You never did.
I suppose, if you were my wings
then
I guess I have now
None.
My dear friend,
I care for you so,
More than you will ever know.
I hate to see you hurt.
I hate to see your heart in pain
The first time
You did not learn you're lesson
Neither with the second
By time the third rolled around,
You said you had,
I truly had hoped to believe you.
Time it had passed,
And I really thought you had.
But today,
I hear you are going to let it happen again,
Maybe this time won't be like the others,
But you know it will.
So,
Please, my friend,
Stop now before you are hurt once again.
When I've lost all hope
Will you be there
When I need a shoulder
Will yours be the one
If I fall
Will you be there to help me up
If I go away
Will you bring me back
When I am down
Will you bring me up
If I am pulled back
Will you push me forward
When I'm old and gray
Will you be my colors
If I have the world on my shoulders
Will you be there to take it off
If my bubble has burst
Will you be there to blow it up again
When I need you
Will you be there.
My dear friend
when
will you realize
That I don't love you because your cute
I dont love you because you are popular
I love you because you are you
You mean the world to me
Last night I had my heart broken
And you were the reason
I saw you dancing with her
It would not have hurt if
If I Had liked you because you are
cute
Or because you are
popular.
It hurt because you mean the world to me
I wish you knew just exactly how I feel
maybe you do but
I dont think you Really know
you have never left my heart
Not once since the day we met
she has dumped you many a times
I know you think she is cute
but she has not always been there
My dear
my dear friend
I have and always will be there
I will love you always and forever.
I look at the past looks
staring at me through
A book.
Back then it did not matter
it did not matter who you were
Or who you hung out with.
We all looked so young
we all were so young.
Our lives have change a great deal
In such a short time.
we have grown to hate each other
We have grown to love each other.
There are the ones who have been there
since the first day nine years ago,
Then there are those of you who I have known
Only a few years less.
but
We all have something in common
A bond, a common thread
we have all nearly grown up together
We all have spent half of our lives together.
I think into the future
in a year
We will probably not see half the people we know
Ever again.
some of us will keep in touch
Some of us will end up going to the same schools
But for the rest,
after next year
It might be the end.
I only know two things for sure
One is E=MC^2
And the second is
You are always going to be in my heart.
When the sun is hot
I will be your cool.
When I am gone you will still live in my heart
I'll love you Always and Forever.
You are like my brother
You are my friend
You are my love
You are the light of my life
The apple in my eye.
I want you to always know
You are not a crush
But, instead
You are a permanent structure.
You entered my life
and you have never once left.
Without even knowing it...
you eased my pain,
When I was gone, you guided me back.
you found me,
When I had disappeared,
when I felt like just one of the crowd,
You shined a light on me,
when my hope was nothing more than a mere
Grain of sand,
you took that grain and built a castle.
Everyday you give something new to my life
you've done all these things
And
you know what...
I don't think you ever knew.
life a lot of the times sucks,
life a lot of the times is unfair.
opportunities missed,
maybe they are signs
signs,
to make us forget.
the world has its plan
maybe in the plan for me,
it does not include
he.
if you were to die today,
i bet you'd have a lot left to say.
if you were to be told,
would you have enough time,
i bet you wouldn't
we leave this world with so much unsaid,
everyday things unfold,
that brake us,
and make us
so watch what you do...
watch what you say,
because
if you were to die today
i don't think you would want to leave,
with a lot left to say.
The two of us we bonded at first site
I fell for you at first site
The two of us we have become very good friends
We flirt
We share our thoughts which for most people is hard to do
But it is not hard for us
I am a part of your life everyday
You are a part of my life everyday
We know each other well
You see me everyday at school
But I have a question for you
Do you See me
I mean do you truly see me
Do you see the light in my eye
Do you realize that it is burning for you
I know you have this girl by your side
Does she love you like I love you
I do not love your beauty
I love your youness
I love you personality
Do you see me
Do you see the light in my eye
Do you see it burning for you
Even if you never do
Our friendship is still so wonderful
That it makes up for
Every moment you dont see
Maybe you do see but you are just afraid
To say, if that is true I hope that some day
you will have the strength to admit it
I saw the proofs
for the yearbook
you were in them a lot
In all the pictures you were happy.
they were simple pictures
there as usual was a sparkle in your eye.
that day i was already half gone
i was not in any of the proofs
the stick girl you used to go out with was.
you have been the one to keep
me up
and i hate it when you bring
me down
why must you be so photogenic?
a simple thing
has broken
me.
today i did not regonize your voice
that made me fall
If the second hand on the clock
moves so slow
then why, oh why
does everything move so fast?
i try to make things smooth
as soon as the world becomes silk
you walk into the desert.
i try to express my feelings through
these poems
sometimes it makes me feel
oh so good
as if i could fly
but sometimes i fall,
fall futher
further.
there is someone
that if i am in a sad mood
if i hear his name
i feel things crash inside of me
and
the second hand zooms past.
life is not black and white
there are the inbetweens
not just popular or unpopular
pretty or ugly
liked or hated
loved or not
lonely or occupated
rich or poor
smart or dumb
sad or happy
fat or skinny
no one ever calls attention to
the middles of these things
no one execpt the few alike
to the world i must ask
open your eyes
to see the life
beside you
for the first time in a long time
your smile shone
on my face,
your eyes beautiful
gentile and magical
as the stars,
i here your voice talk to me
no one but me
i soak it in, enjoy it like a rich dessert
for it has been an eternity
since it spoke to me
you walk beautiful,
together we walk in unison
you do not fight
you do not push away
when we truly walk
honestly talk
it feels so natural
it feels so right
when we are together
it all comes back to me
all that i lost
comes back to me
all when we are near
because when we are near
i fill with joy.
You looked wonderful last night
I'd never see you dressed like that before
You acknowledged my existance,
me the not extremely popular girl,
and you the extremely popular guy
you talked to my group last night in front of all your friends
I hope you ditched right before they announced
because you didnt want to be seen with her.
when i saw you step into that suburban,
it was weird it was like
when you see the president stepping into a suburban.
outside it was dark and so was the tint,
but i could still see you,
did you see me,
i hope you did,
i wish if you have feelings for me
that you would PLEASE tell me.
all i want to do right now
is to be held in your arms.
I believe that if you were to ever come to me
I dont think I would ever be able to let go.
hug
not hide
admit
love
forever
ask
dance
limo
forever
together
caring
always
forever
you
us
always
together
forever
three
words
soon
till the end of time
forever
more
with every breath
why wont you see
love each other
forever
i hope that when you stepped into that car
and i turned that corner,
it wasn't the last time our eyes would meet.
I hope some day we will meet again
on that day i hope you will aknowlege me
I will never forget you, for i feel that is something
impossible to do,
however,
i will always miss you.
and i hope that somewhere deep inside of you,
you will miss me too.
Have a blast with high school
and follow your dreams
"its the end of something simple and
the beginning of everything else"
i dont believe in saying goodbye,
it is such a final morbid thing
for anyone to have to say or go through,
so the only thing i can say is
I hope to see you
soon.
i dont know what to do.
in the year we were truly apart
we spoke only once.
this year are together, we spent
a few months so close, i found out some
things i didnt want to know, now i know
i want to help, i dont know what to do, but
please just let me help.
we've been moved apart, but we are still so close,
just slightly out of reach
i cant hear what happens, and i need to know
because only then can i help
when we were together the old feelings,
they started to come back, just a little bit
i'm fightling to keep them in, but i am so confused
i kinda like having these old feelings, i exhaled
sometimes i think maybe the feelings are mutual.
we dont dare mention, the past, two years ago, which
i like.
you acepted my apology and that is all that matters.
if the feelings ever turn into relationship,
i wouldnt hide, i would
welcome them with open arms.
yes, i do care
I care.
Your eyes glisten through the brightest sun
What is on your mind
What is it you want to find
There is a chill in the air
But the warmth you give makes it all fair
I want to know your story
No need to be explanatory
Just tell me
Let it be free
Stare into the sky and make a wish upon a star
Is everything up to par
I sit here and stare at you
and I wonder where I am
I look back and see so many things
I remember where I was, I remember who you were
I see you over there
for awhile we parted with the sea
but now that is back
I don’t know what to do with these feelings
I don’t know what to see
Do I want to go soaring through the deep blue sky
or do I want to sit over there, see people walking by
and start to cry
I wish I knew, I wish I saw
what it is I should do
I really need the guidance, I really need the strength
What will ever come, who will ever know
We don’t know where the tide takes us,
we just have to go with the flow.
I look at you and me
and wonder what it is I used to see
all I know is the empty spaces you left deep inside me
I wonder if this is the final curtain
what I thought I knew is now uncertain
people they are looking at me funny,
honey,
they must think I’m a freak
‘cause I’m sitting here crying, you’ve left me weak
I’m in tears
I have so many fears
I won’t let this come to an end
I will forever be your friend.
I sit at this bus stop all alone
I wonder, I think what happened
you and me we used to be so close
I miss that, what went wrong
I knew you weren’t there, but in your own way you always were.
Dear I fear we’re growing apart
don't you see what this is doing to my heart
I want all that used to be back
Love, they say I am lucky, fortunate to have you as a friend
but do I?
I sit and recall all the good times we shared
I wish I knew you cared
sad song comes on the radio, says
“everything’s gonna be alright”
with all we’ve been through, I hope the song comes true
I want to believe
First I thought you were gorgeous
that passed
and then I thought you were my wings
Now to think of you it kinda hurts
I hope there is enough love between you and me that
we can climb over this boulder
Next year, different schools, ten miles away
I don’t want to leave us this way
I care, I hurt, I love, I feel
all I want is something real.
The songs asks, “how’s it gonna be
when there’s no one to talk to,
how’s it gonna be when you don’t know me”
I sat and wondered, the same thing
not too long ago
Figuring we would always keep in touch
no matter how many miles separated us
I new time with you would lessen as we grew
but I’d always though we’d be friends
Now I don’t have to wonder how’s it gonna be
I know how it is, I don’t like it
my friend, technically you are still there
but our friendship as I knew it is gone
will it come back
I fear I don’t know you any more
I don’t want to lose us
This feeling of not knowing you is tearing me apart,
I will never let you leave my hear
When will we be back to the way it
used to be
the way it was when we were
back to good
angel of mine you know this can’t be the end
you’ll always be my friend.
rain falls from the dark, starry city sky
steady and constant
a puddle has formed, in front of this puddle is
a huge, sharp boulder, the sun does not glisten there
not drying quickly the puddle, all alone
in the wrath of the dark boulder
finally people start to realize is a hazard
blocking the sidewalk, it would have to go.
The boulder is moved, the puddle
glistens in the beaming sun.
from up above appears a single storm cloud
more clouds then follow, just as the puddle has almost gone
a long steady rainstorm comes
morning comes, another puddle formed
right next to the first
The first sees the second as
someone used to be so close, but then
grew apart
Together the puddles are again
left to glisten in the sun.
I sit here wondering, if its really gonna be alright
I wish I had someone who really understood
I wish there was a guy who would tell me its ok
I sit here cut off from the world
I’m empty inside
I want to talk, but they’ve taped my mouth shut
I’m disconnected
Where have I gone, where is the hope
I don’t know, I’ve been shut down
I try, I try
when I do my best
I guess that’s not good enough
why can’t it be
why can’t they understand
they say they do
but they don’t they can’t
they’ve shut me off
I cry and cry
I wonder is it will do any good
that won’t connect me to the world
won’t give me warmth
there’s no faith, nor hope in tears of sorrow
of heartbreak and despair
I’m alone, I’m tired, I’m
disconnected
