The one I thought,
For once in my lifetime,
Understood me,
Was the one
Who misunderstood me the most
In my life!

Some days I wonder what my life would be like
If I opened the door here
And closed another there
Some days I wonder how the match didn't strike
Yet if I wonder enough
Can I see a new me?

*Chapter1*I stood still,Never thought of being' shaken, taken for, coz love was granted.
Lost I am,
Deep within the wounds,
Wounds of situations I wish would end soon,
Lost I am,
Confused and hopeless,
Struggling to find myself in world of "nope-ness"
Lost I am,
Why Follow Your Dreams?
Why Follow your dreams?
Follow your dreams because you want to have a better life, follow your
A single walk in the woods is all I really need
to clear my mind of awful things I have felt and have seen.
A lonely crow sit delicately on a stump
watching me dilligently as leaves under me, crunch.
From Your Father:
I was not raised to be what you need.
I will never love you
And I left to spare you that pain.
I was never ready to be your father,
And so I chose to never be one to you.
Losing you wasn't a part of the plan...
It's hard being me but god didnt plan to make it easy.
Dear Math Teacher,
I know that 2+2=4
So instead of reviewing this 2nd grade lesson
Teach me how to have at least a decent credit score
Dear History Teacher,
I must have asked myself a hundred times
If this was going to work and I must admit that
Hope was keeping me company, but then
I should have known better.
I should have been wiser, but I learned.
I am just an ordinary guy.
No special talents,
Good fortune,
Recognized name,
Extraordinary abilities,
Or good luck.
Yet from life,
I want so much more than most ordinary people.
Teach us to think.
Not on what to think, but on how.
Test us not on the knowledge, but on the application.

" I've been studying this world and so for I ain't impressed ,
Where do we belong ? were all just trying to progress ,
That's why our elders say we growing up to fast our generation looks a mess ,
Remember not to party,
And never come home too late;
I know this seems kinda corny,
But i don't mean to hate
Remember to always study,
But not the night before a test;
Illness infection disease
Look at the change you've brought me
From eating to sleeping
From walking to running
From cleaning to working
From sports to school
My disease my illness it has changed me
It’s true, I am old, and I am going out of style
That’s why I don’t listen to the music for my FM dial.
But I beg of you to stay, sit, and listen for a while,
And look at this wonderful world through the eyes of a child.
Tears fall down my face, what is this, another heart break. At this point in time I am giving up. There is no reason to try with this kind of luck. If only I could find one special person who knew how to treat me right.
What you run from stays with you longer
And what you fight eventually becomes stronger
This pessimism is taking a toll on me
It's like I can't even see who I set out to be
Cherish the little things
right now
or you'll wish you had later.
Tell the people you love that you love them.
