Costumed
I costume myself in different wrappings,
I cover myself in different clothes.
I watch to make sure no one sees,
and take them off to be just me.
But my wrappings must go back on,
for I see someone who has been there all along.
I walk to her and say hello,
she looks at me and tells me no.
I ask her, "What? What do you mean?"
she looks at me and tells me the wrappings can come off.
I take a closer look and see,No covers, no wrapping, just plain me.
I look and see beauty and talent,
the person looks just like me.
but I was so busy wrapping myself to please others,
I never noticed my talent and beauty.
So I ask myself,
why do I need all these wrappings?
The plain me is better than all the wrappings together.
I decide that I'll be me.
I'll stand tall and free.
No wrappings more,
just me I'm free!

If you could see my thoughts
If you could read my mind
You'd know what I was feeling
Feelings I want no one to find
How do I say I'm scared
How do I tell you my fears
I still can't look you in the eye
Not even after 7 years
Where do we go wrong
Why are we drifting apart
Maybe we're just screwed
Screwed from the very start
Two destined for each other
But spread apart so far
Two unreachable by words
And unthinkable by car
Destiny is cruel
and fate is just a myth
Love makes you wonder about
Who you'll share it with
Some are scared to love
But us, we were too strong
I said we'd be forever
It turns out I was wrong
True love comes once in a life
I thought that's what I'd found
But the words so loudly spoken
Shared nothing of love's sound
Words so deeply rooted
Inside my heart for good
I guess we'll never make it
No one thought we would
My heart is not done healing
Don't ask for a friendship so quickly
Our love was like a candle
That just ran out of wick!

Rachel and Emily
Whenever I hear our names together,
I think of all the memories we've shared together,
They are imprinted in my heart forever.
Together we shared our ultimate dreams,
We thought we'd always be great friends as it seems.
We laughed, we cried, we bonded.
We had a great childhood friendship,
We use to play capture the flag,
Dog catcher and David Chase Us.
I remember most nights sitting up together,
Talking about all the things we would share in life together,
But now it's all seemed to vanish forever.
I hate to think we aren't great friends anymore,
But I'm lucky to know what it's like to have a friend like you.
I know that bond will always be there,
Because I know we both do care.
We still have time to bond again, still have time to care again.
One day we'll be the same little kids we once were,
Sharing dreams together, living them out together, and caring for one another
forever.

Nothing
The absolute silence that fills your mind in loneliness
The split second of clarity that is lost to common sense
The point of no return when you're forced to decide
The decision that is neither right...or wrong
The tiny piece of reality you hang to,
Where there is no dark and no light.

Deceived
She glimmered with beauty
But beauty was a disguise.
Her acts of perjury
I began to despise.
She lived in perdition,
Only her eyes would show.
A new revelation,
I wanted everyone to know.
Her ways became sinister,
As the truth revealed.
Heading for disaster,
Looks of evil were unsealed.
Nowhere to run,
Nowhere to hide.
The devil is loose;
No beauty inside.
