I write you letters that I never send
I write you songs that I never sing
I have things to tell you that I never tell.
It seems I'm living in some fairytale.
I'm in an endless dream
which I can not wake.
I reach out to you but you're not there
Everytime I think you're close enough
you slip away.
And I often think it's both of our faults,
because we never had anything to say.

"Dear Daddy"

I feel so close to you
yet I dont really know you
I can live without you
yet I want to be with you all the time.
I feel like I can tell you anything
But there's so many things I don't
I don't know why, so don't ask.
All I know is that everything is different with you,
and I know it's dangerous to care
for fear that you'll leave
And I'll fall apart again.

"Never Will Be"

This world is full of puppets.
Especially me.
I feel like I have to kiss up to everybody
just to get along with them.
Why is that?
I've got so much on me that no one understands
and I don't really want anyone to know
because they'll tell me things like
"you're only a child; you shouldn't be worried
about things like that"
or "it's not your place to worry about things like that;
your'e being silly."
Why can't things just fit together peacefully?
Why do things always fall apart?
I'm so afraid of everything falling apart again.
I don't think I could stand it.
I can't seem to let the past go.
Everyone, including me, wants me to just get over it.
It's not that easy.
I wish there was a way I could make everyone understand.
There's not though,
There never will be.

"Please"

Please, will somebody help me.
I feel as if I'm in a crowded room of people
screaming at the top of my lungs
but no one even looks up to see what's wrong.
All I've ever wanted is to survive
and be happy.
But the only thing that happens is pain and sadness.
Please, will somebody help me?
Please, make it all go away.

Makeup, boys,
movies, phone,
mall, summer jobs,
dress up, girl talk.
Finally!
No more screaming kids,
abusive parents,
neglect,
sorrow.
The pain I experience now is
something so simple as
breaking up with a boy
or flunking my biology quiz.
Teenagers really have it made.
I'm so glad I'm finally able to be one.
Finally!!!

"Love Is A Funny Thing"

Love is a funny thing.
It can make a woman remember her
teenage love and sigh with the thought of him.
Love can make a poor boy fall in love with a rich girl
and make neither of them care what people think of them.
Love can make it possible for a baby to be born
when there seems to be no hope
Love can make a wife be true to her spouse
years and years after his death.
But love can break hearts,
Oh Yes!!
Something so wonderful can cause you
pain for the remainder of your life.
So take heed.

"Wishes"

Among the stars I wish to be
or at one with the vast sea.
I wish for the icy cold wind of the Rockies
to pierce my eyes.
But oh, how the sun of the east can make me sigh.
I wish to be a bird flying free
and to be as strong and free as an
enormous stag black and gleaming.
I wish to throw all caution to the wind
like the mane of a great stallion
in the wind.
Yet I want to be as wise as the rabbit
and all of her gentilness.
Oh and to be in Love!
I wish to be like the doves, cozed together.
Oh, if I could have and keep the world!
These are the wishes of a young girl.

"Cherokee Heritage"

Once many, many moons ago
there was a great and powerful nation,
an Indian Nation.
For many hundreds of years the
Cherokee lived at peace with themselves,
mother nature, and their god.
Then the white men came with their weapons and
disease and killed them off one by one.
Some were able to live because they
were a strong and wise people.
Much indian blood has been passed down
among the generations.
And everytime I feel the wind on my face
and watch the beautiful summer lightening
I feel at peace and at one with nature
and I know it's my heritage coming through.
My great Cherokee Indian heritage.

How would the world be without
family and friends?
A world of loneliness
that never ends.
How would Christmas be
without your family there?
A christmas without memories,
laughter, or care.
What would a theme park be like
without your friends along?
Boredom, misery, everything
will seem wrong.
I have the best in both ways,
my friends are my family!
And we're always laughing,
caring, and gay.
I wish you my fortune of
family and friends
and I wish you love and
happiness that never ends.
