The Girl Inside

How could you tell if she was in pain?
She showed no signs of despair.
But the pain soaked through her skin,
and it started to eat away at her soul.
Would she make it without cracking?
Could she hide the hurt inside her?
She tried to remain strong,
but how would she last?

The constant teasing from the boys,
caused her confidence to die.
She was confused, growing up was hard.
She knew of no one to console.
How could life be so hard,
when life was just barely mature?
Was all her pain really worth it?
It seemed too much for her to bear.

Could she ease her pain?
Could she make it on her own?
She questioned all her morals,
she even questioned her faith.
She had always been a good girl,
but now times were getting tough.
How would she make it through,
when she was all she had?

Then one day, she met a boy,
who understood her pain.
He made her feel important,
she had never felt this way.
Slowly he helped her rebuild,
her life so she would be happy.
His words meant so much to her,
even more than anyone's had before.

So as her life changed for the better,
she thought of him each day.
So even when they parted ways,
he was always in her heart.
How could she ever forget,
the boy who had saved her soul?

Why...When...And...

Why are there days
When it's all bright and sunny
And all you can do is cry?

Why does it hurt
When someone else fails
And you feel it's your failure?

Why is it painful
When you don't hear from a friend
And you know they're just busy?

Why is it hard
When you watch the love around you
And you don't feel it inside?

Why do you still laugh
When there's nothing funny
And you just can't help it?

Why do you smile
When you feel all the pain inside
And you hide it from the world?

Why do you cry
When things could be worse
And you can't hold back the tears?

Why are you hurting
When God is there?
And he always has been
And he always will be.

Yesterdays

Breathe in and know where you are
Must in the air
So much dust
Where I keep my secrets
Awake the memories that hide deep in the room
Reluctantly the feelings escape
In a time when I have no time
I'm seeing tears on my memories
Today, the todays that became yesterdays
If you don't take time to remember
Long files of memories could be gone
The pictures are faded, but I remember
When I was happy just being with a friend
Closing the albums, I go back to when I was
Six and full of zest and excitement
Has that child disappeared, or is she still there
Time has made her shy; she's only shown to few
Because my life has changed, now she hides

A World Without Love

Imagine a world without love
Did you feel different
Oh it was awful
Lord, I cannot live without love
In a world without love
I feel nothing
You have more wars
Watch a world without love
Take its own life
Yeah, it's not pretty
Remember when there was love
I am in a world full of love
On any day at any time
Everywhere I look there is love
Sunrise and sunset, both full of love

Innocence

Melodies called out to me
Could you hear them
Only few understood
Little children love to hear the sounds
Their innocence beckons
They squeal and squirm
Like bolts of lightning
Sweet songs keep calling
Where do they come from
I kept them close to me
Like an entity of my own self
Can I still hear them
For I am getting older
Could my innocence be gone
But is that why I heard the songs
The harmonies were intricate
The song was so clear
But can I still hear it?
