The Story of My Life


Mother Earth

In the end what do I see?
Everyone staring and laughing at me.
In the end what do I do?
I bow to the ground and belong to you.

Mother Earth can you hear me calling?
Mother Earth can you see me falling?
Can't you lift me up to the sky?
Cause, Mother Earth, I don't want to say good-bye.

In the end, oh what do I see,
Everyone is staring and laughing at me.
In the end, oh what can I do?
I bow to the ground and belong to you.

Oh Mother Earth can't you hear me callin'?
Oh Mother Earth can't you see me fallin'?
Can't you lift me up to the sky?
Oh Mother Earth, I don't want to die!

    For The Life I Carry Inside

    If not for the life that I carry inside,
    I could care-less if I live or die.

    I don't understand why things are,
    I do so much and I try so hard.

    Yet it all seems to be in vain,
    For everyday I still awake with this pain.

    This pain that grows and grows inside my heart,
    It's as if the world is determined to tear me apart.

    What else must I say, what else must I do,
    To allow, for once, my dreams to come true?

    Last night I wished upon a shooting star,
    Yet my hopes and dreams still seem so far.

    I would have wished that I could just curl up and die,
    If it wasn't for the life I carry inside.

    Life

    Life can cause a person so much pain,
    It can make you feel you're going insane.
    My life has torn my heart apart,
    I somtimes wish I could make a new start.

    Though sometimes I say I wish I would have died,
    when I attempted suicide.

    I think back on all the things I would have missed,
    those precious moments, like my first meaningful kiss.

    And though sometimes I still say I wish I could die,
    I can feel my future within my pride.

    And though my future will be a hard road to go down,
    one day it will turn my life around.

    The people who have helped me the most are my friends,
    because they will be with me until the end.

    Though I have said some harsh things to people I know and love,
    I will get forgiveness from the lords above.

    This was not made for people to feel sorry for me,
    it was just to show them how terrible and good life can be.

    Just open your mind and listen to the words that I send,
    for if you understand them, your hearts will also mend.

    Feelings We Hide

    In my heart there are things that cannot be said,
    But in my eyes they can be read.

    Deep down I can see that there's something you hide,
    Something I hope and pray I can find.

    When I see something written that tells how I feel,
    Then I know that my love for you is real.

    In this world there are a lot of things that I can miss,
    I just hope one of those things isn't your kiss.

    The Summer

    Though we are different in many ways,
    We often agree with what one another say.

    We have only known each other for a while,
    Yet to this day you always make me smile.

    Just knowing no matter how many times you leave,
    You'll be back within the summer's breeze.

    As summer begins our feelings start to grow,
    Until the season ends our feelings will flow.

    But once the coldness starts to set in,
    Our feelings die and we continue being friends.

    The reason for this I do not know,
    Maybe with the coldness our feelings are afraid to show.

    I have decided to no longer hide,
    The feelings I have for you inside.

    I know you and I may never follow through,
    With this relationship I've tried to find in you.

    But whatever you do, please don't overjudge me,
    For what's inside is much different than what you see.

    Tell Me Why

    Tell me why you cheated, tell me why you lied,
    Tell me all the things you keep bottled up inside.

    I wonder if you know,
    That you've destroyed my heart and soul.

    I wonder if you even cared,
    But evidentally not because you just left me there.

    You left me in that place all alone,
    A place that I thought was our home.

    I guess I was wrong,
    But you shouldn't have waited so long.

    You should of told me the very first day,
    That you found someone else and wanted me to go away.

    Instead you let me suffer, instead you let me cry,
    I ask you now ~ Tell me why.

    Words of Love

    There's so much I really want to say, but someone or something always seems to be in the way. Alone with you I still can not tell you what I say. I don't even know if you are interested in me, I don't know if we could or ever will be. I wish that I could read your mind, so that your thought of me I could find. Then I'd know if you ever thought I could be more than your pal, if so I'd be able to tell you I want to be your gal. But for now, I sit back and watch you come and go. Wondering, waiting for your feelings to show. Hoping my love for you someday you'll know. Praying you feel the same way so these good feelings can shine through and grow. I'd be honest with you, I'd be true. I'd do my best to cheer you when you're blue. No matter what I'd be there for you.

    There's really no need for words, just take my hand. Let's take a walk along the beach in the sand. Look in my eyes, read my heart. Know I'd never want us to part, put away your shield, let our love start.
    These are words of love ~ straight from my heart!

    Don't Let Me Lose You

    No matter what I'm always here for you,
    Yet you go and find someone new.

    I don't know why you do the things you do,
    All I know is I want it to be just me and you.

    No, I do not love you, but I do care,
    One question ~ is this a feeling that we share?

    You just seem to have this everlasting charm,
    It makes me just want to run to your arms.

    There's really not much more I can say or do,
    I guess our relationship is now up to you.

    There's just one thing I want you to do,
    No matter what happens, don't let me lose you.

    Will She?

    There's many things being said,
    But through your eyes the truth can't be read.

    What am I supposed to do?
    All I ever tried to do was love you.

    Was my love not good enough for you?
    Or is it that your heart just can't be true?

    So many questions with no answers at all,
    With every step towards you it seems I trip and fall.

    I find no hope, I find no life,
    I only dreamed of one day becoming your wife.

    It seems you don't want this dream to be,
    Maybe you do, but with someone other than me.

    But let me ask this to you,
    Will she always be true?

    Will she give you the love that I gave?
    Will she make the sacrifices I've made?

    Will she give you her heart?
    Will she let nothing tear the two of you apart?

    Can she look in your eyes and honestly say,
    I will always love you, come what may?

    Me and You

    When the night is silent, and ooh so still,
    Dreams of you become so real, I finally tell you how I feel.

    But then I awake to the clearness of day and realize the dream was too far away.

    I think of how much I love you,
    It becomes plain that love can be true,
    So true that I just don't know what else to do.

    Now I know that love can cause pain, cause I love you so much it's driving me insane.

    Your handsome brown eyes can really make me see,
    Just how wonderful love can be.

    Most people don't know what to do,
    But when I look at you, I know there's a chance someday it will be just me and you,
    Walking together ~ knowing what to do.

    The Alarm

    I know you found someone new,
    But why you left me I still don't have a clue.

    There's so many feelings I try to hide away,
    So many things that need to be said that I don't know how to say.

    Everyday I sit thinking of how I could ask you why,
    Knowing that with your answer, I would only break down and cry.

    Everyone else sees something in you that should make me turn away,
    But what I see in you makes me want to stay.

    I dream that I am laying in your arms,
    But then I awake to the sound of an alarm.

    The alarm awares me that what I dream may never be true,
    But all I can do is hope that one day it will be me and you.

    I guess it's time for my thoughts to end,
    But I need your love for my heart to mend.

    The Ivy and The Rose

    Life is like Ivy, it winds and turns,
    But unlike Ivy, life burns.

    That’s when life becomes the Rose,
    And yes, there is a problem with those.

    The thorns; be careful how you pick,
    Or else your finger they will prick.

    Just like life, it will throw you down the hill,
    Make it seem as though your dreams cannot be for filled.

    But never fear,
    Something else is drawing near.

    Look to the Ivy, for it grows and finds a way through,
    Not only that, but it’s beautiful too.

    For life, that would be love,
    For nothing touches it but the Gods above.

    Our Bond

    In the beginning they can be your biggest fear,
    But I promise, joy also brings tears.

    From the moment I saw her face,
    Many of my fears were erased.

    In my arms there lay,
    The most precious gift that can ever be made.

    Even though a lot of fears were still there,
    I knew, somehow my little angel would receive good care.

    I can’t believe she’s almost two,
    She’s grown so much, yet there’s still so much to do.

    It’s hard to accept that’s she’s almost done being a baby,
    She’ll a big girl soon and then a little lady.

    I hate to let go,
    But deep inside I know.

    I am a part of her, and she is a part of me,
    That means our bond will forever be.

    Happiness

    Happy is a look in the eye, a feeling in the heart,
    It lets you know that your world is no longer falling apart.

    It lets you see the sunrise and enjoy the afternoon,
    And at the end of the night it allows you to bask under the magic of the moon.

    It lifts your spirits way up high,
    You feel as if you could touch the sky.

    The wind that hustles through the leaves,
    That's happiness for those who believe.

    If you believe that happiness is grand,
    It will always be in the reach of your hand.

    So does happiness truly shine?
    I do not know, for that feeling has never been mine.
