Thinking about my past.
I would change everything.


We were so innocent... Was sacrifice the price we payed?
Back then we used to think eighteen was our magic number.


Just as children should we thought about swingsets and hide n seek.
Trying so hard to forget it all, we would long to grow up..


We would of course, So much faster than I would have ever thought.
Mistakes behind us and more to come.


Love may have past us or maybe it's up ahead.
We won't realize a thing.


It's such a shame we wasted nearly twenty years dreaming and not realizing it all.
If I could go back..If we all could go back.



We would change our past.
Everything.

When we are born,
we don't have a choice.
Our parents will love us,
we listen to the voice.
As we grow older,
we then start to wish,
toys,nice food,nice home and love.

We go to school,
at first,it's not nice.
If the building is old,
we might even see mice.
Towards the end of our schooling,
we start to realize.
That wishing and hoping,
not happening,before our eyes!

A baby is born, what do you see?
A baby dolphin swimming in our sea
Swimming and swimming day by day
After a few months comes time to play.

Playing and playing day by day
After a few months the babe puts on display,
Jumping and diving day by day!
What fun it is to see such array.

After a few months the babe has grown all bold and strong.
Swimming, diving, hunting with joy, living life day by day.

After a few months all settled and alone exploring the world is what should be done.
Meeting others and being with friends is life and how it could be done.
One day or more the time will come a baby is now something more
A parent, an entertainer, maybe a hunter too, in the end we find our purpose so they say and by then we do what our hearts have to say living life and living it proud.

Could there be a caveat
Instructing little girls
To stay close to their protectors
Or to find a sentinel?
Little girls do not know
What spurious means,
That a man can appear
Immaculate;
Yet, really be pernicious.
If I knew what a spurious person was,
Or was given a caveat,
Or was provided with a sentinel,
Would my life had gone differently?
Now my heart has been stained,
All I see
Is spurious
Written on every person.
I still look
For a sentinel
To protect me even today.
In my torpid modes,
I lye on my bed
Praying for strength
To one day be free,
And no longer doubt
The goodness of people.

She walked to the schoolhouse every day and every day
zshe wore the dress.
She walked through the Naarrows, past
The bulfield beyond where the wildflowers grew
The dress ws one of two she owned the other Sundays best
.She walked with head lowered missing the world growing around her.
On poetry day she stood before her mates
trying to balance pride and shame..
The dress hung heavy, each check a burdensome weight,
She struggled, trying to maintain her dignity.
One day she ran from the schoolhouse beyond where
The wildflowers grew and beyond to Jenny pond
She threw the dress into the pond, the grave for gingham dresses
the weeds digesting the Gingham dress
She resched for a stick laying in the sun.\
zand a smallfigure could be seen in a white cotton slip
Skipping along the dirt road drawing pictures of freedom on the earth’

All the tears he made you shed, all the times he made you feel like you was nothing to him or anyone else. Then again we live in a cruel and dark world. I believe everything happens for a reason, and if that means you and andy wasnt meant to be, then maybe thats why all this is happening. Even though you loved and cared for with everything you had, he showed no remorse on putting you down and disrespecting you. And that right there shows that hes not a man at all. Just a child who lost his way.I know there are days you would stay up all night and you would keep asking yourself '' what did i do wrong? Why do i stay up crying trying to convince myself everything will be okay? why me?!'' He didnt cherish every single moment he had with you. He didnt take the time to look in your eyes and say to himself, wow. i must be the luckiest guy in the world to have the best girlfriend ever'' And thats what lead to him losing you. Man,just to be loved by someone.. thats a gift itself. Some take it for granite, others embrace it. Ive been trying to find the words to express how i truely and honestly feel about you. After last night, after what you told me about what happened, after you told me how your feeling and how you cant stop crying, It really awakened my true feelings towards you. Feelings i thought i could acually suppress until we saw eachother again. I want to be the one who holds you tightly and never ever let go. The one who wipes all your tears away. The one that you was always searching for. All these years.. All the times we talked lead up to this very moment in my life. I remember the first time i met you. Gosh you were so adorable. We use to be parterns all the time when it came to group activites. That was the year i acually looked foreward to going to school. Just to see you. I still remember i lost a friend because i always wanted to be around you instead of him.I was so sad when you moved away. I always wonderend if we would ever see or meet eachother again, then about three years ago it happened. At lacey's graduation party. At first I sort of didnt reconize you since you was more mature. But that night, I couldnt of been more happier. I was acually happy for weeks and that day made me believe in wishes. I remember making a wish a little bit after you moved away. I wished we could meet again and it happened. You really do make a impact in my life.It just overflows with joy, happiness, and inspiration. I dont know how to describe it. Wow, you just dont know how much you really mean to me. I look at you and all i really wanna do is hold you soo so close to my heart. There is so many things i want do do with you. Like take you to the beach and watch the sunset together. Lay on the rooftop and look at the stars together. Take a walk through the park holding hands. Staying up all night and constantly telling you how beautiful and special you are. What I mean is that I want to make you the happiest girl alive.

I used to believe in illusion.. there was a time when I would close my eyes and believe that the stars were shining only for me I would carry my illusions with me, as if they were a child in a womb imagining.. that with their birth I'd know complete happiness I would let go of reality within every breath I took. for illusions walked within me like clouds wander the sky - I would ignore it all- but one day.. maturity came to visit, and I was certain that just like innocence it would be harmless and precious. I was wrong.. It walked inside, and stole my illusions.. breaking my heart and fixing it at the same time. For I realized that reality as much as illusion is senseless.. and I'll forever remain an illusionist to my soul.

Years have passed, we may have moved away
But the scars you left us are forever there to stay
Years have passed, but I still remember it well
My only safe place, called home
Turned into a living hell
Day after day I was scared to enter the home door
Scared of the broken glass, yet to be found on the floor
Will it be another night of pain and tears?
Or will he be sober and spare us of our fears?
This question over and over, day after day
Hoping for the demon inside my father to go away
But he kept drinking and screaming
Giving alcohol another meaning


My mom and sister started crying
A huge fist slams on the table, silence came
But on the inside we were terrified, slowly dying
I did not have the strength to stand up against him
Knowing how strong he is, my chance of succeeding would be very thin
Once in our beds we hoped he fell asleep downstairs
So we could sleep peacefully, without any violence and flying chairs
We had our peacefull moments when he was asleep
Those were the times we could safely weep
That thought had to wait
Since he was coming up, he's back to make us afraid
I covered my ears, not wanting to hear
Any horror that might happen, shivvering in fear


The sun finaly arrived, giving me my first embrace
Quickly I remove the tears on my face
And prepare myself for another day at school
Time to put on another fake smile and act all cool
As if nothing had happened

Sat on her lap till age eight or above, my mother taught me how to love. Sunrise sunset not afraid of the dirt my father taught me how to work. "Dont back down, when your right, your right" my grandma taught me how to fight. "God comes first every day all day" my grandpa taught me how to pray.
