Love is hard to handle
you gave everything
with nothing in return
your heart wide open
and others push you away
never knowing if the love
will fade...
holding on as tight as you can

I am trapped with no way out
I am fighting to be set free
banging on the walls
screaming at the top of my lungs
No one is here to open my prison
that I seem to be stuck in

I know what you think
you tell me every chance you get
all I hear from your mouth
is that I dont care, or how much
I am like her

Yeah...
I know what you think of me

I love it when,
you cant understand
the web I weave,
and how you never give up
to make since out of me
I love it when,
you seem to care,
even when I want you to leave
you are always there,

Will you promise to never hurt me
if I let down my walls
If I gave you my heart
will you miss use it

Will you walk away when times get tough
or will you stay and stick it out with me

I am sitting here
Staring out in space
Wondering where you are
And how you are doing…
Wondering if you even recall my name
My birthday…the promises you made

Please take my hand and don’t let go
With out you I don’t know what I would do
Take my hand and be my friend…
Promise me, the key to my heart is safe
It’s been locked away for so long

She smiles like nothings wrong
laughs like she's happy
yet you dont see
the child she is inside
her fears are everywhere
scaring her everywhere she goes
the pain behind her eyes

TYLER
By: Alisha

Freckles dust his face like sand on a beach
Dark brown eyes…full of uncertainty and love
His laughter is full of joy
His anger is something to fear…

Theres a part of me
that wants to love you
and theres another part
that wants to hate you
you left when I was young
choosing men and sex over your child
I dont understand you or myself

Looking so happy and free
The pain that was in your eyes is gone
Your skin is fair
No bruises are there
Something I always dreamed about

Laying on my bed
You’re standing there

My tears fall when no ones around
and my secrets are being found
I want to tell everyone to leave
I dont want them to understand the
web I weave
So leave I am safe inside my wall

I wish momma you could...
have saw me the day I rode my first bike
and wish you were the one to help me

I wish you could have helped me...
get ready for my seventh grade dance

Some times I wonder
why everything happens...

why does the sun shine
how does it light up so bright

why do the plants need light
to grow so tall
how do they absorb all the energy

I'm fighting for your approval
something that I really want
yet the more I fight the more
you push me away...
I'm fighting for your love
I wanna know you care
Why do I have to compete
