Out of Place

What did you say to me

Back when we weren't in hell

When the clouds are whiter

And the sky was brighter

I was suffocating in second hand smoke

You were huffing and puffing

Didn't you notice my blood shot eyes?

I let go

Every minute ever made

I try hard to concentrate

But my pureness you filtered

Now I enjoy nothing.

Hotline

It's so hard to concentrate

When all I see is you

It's so hard to to think straight

When the view is askew

All the cubicles are aligned

All the phones are ringing aloud

My attention is focused on you

Good thing it doesn't show through

I used to think you're stupid

I used to hate your guts

But when I got to know you

I had to take a couple of steps back

You confidence is what captivates me

Your humor needs a bit of work

No matter what I say or do

You're always a gentleman, it's true

I appreciate the times you waited for me,

Held the door, and smiled at me,

These little things you do nonchalantly

I put a little malice for my fantasy

How I would love to spend more time with you

Starting as friends, then best friends, maybe even lovers

I'm getting ahead of myself, woe

I'm content even if my name is all you know

A Little Bit

I was played and cheated

I was hurt, but I didn't cry

Adjusted myself a little bit

Moving on with my adventures

Watching the streets stand still

Every car keeps rolling, everything is moving

It's going slow and it's going fast,

Everyone is going forward all the time

Put your hands together

Reach out to the sky

Step up, stand tall, smile wide

Lift your life, start fresh

Kiss me, leave me

I'm through with your goodbyes

How To

Let me tell you a little secret

Lend me your ears, zip your mouth

Don't be surprised, keep your poker face

Hurry up before they return

I hear footsteps approaching

I'm a little paranoid, you observed

I'm going to tell you a little secret

Please don't betray my trust

There is something that you do not know

Till now I never really told anyone

It's eating me inside like a gnawing worm

I want to know how to confess it to you

Earnest Living

The ice has already melted

The milk turned as sour as grapes

My purse is empty and bare

But I'm still having fun

Today is another day

To make my mark on the world

Today I'm feeling fine

I am making it work

You may not stop me

You may not care for me

I reach for my goals

I make myself proud!

Nineteen Years and Four Days Old

I have been blessed this I know

Showered with love, gifts, and toys

My family is always beside me

They hug me tight and kiss me sweetly

I long for the days of the past,

But I look forward to the days ahead

It's been rough, twisted, and discouraging,

But I'm still standing, loving, and breathing

I've always been proud of myself

I've always hoped for the best

My dreams, I make them come through

With help, I'm growing even stronger

I still have habits I need to break

I'm working on myself still

I'm progressing day by day

I need to learn more, earn more

I love my mother, my father, and my sister

I love myself even more they say

That's okay, they understand me best

They know I'm forever myself.
