Why I love you, you’ll ask,
The real question should be why wouldn’t I?
The way your eyes glisten and light up when your talking about something your interested in, or how the fact your constantly so energetic and confident even when your not feeling yourself you always make me smile and laugh.
And then when I look into your eyes and you get mad that I keep staring but I can’t stop your just so b...
In a town where secrets hide and shadows creep,
Four perspectives intertwined, a story to keep.
First, a woman's tale, eyes wide with fright,
She saw a man rob a bank, a criminal in sight.
She tells the details, of how he held her captive,
His actions so brutal, it seemed so massive.
But doubts start to form, as the story unfolds,
Is this perspective true, or merely what she molds?
Perspective t...

Please!
Why won’t she stop
What’s she doing
That child of mine
She’s going to break something

Please!
Just one more
One more time
Then my brain
Might shut up
One
Two

What?
Why’s she talking
To herself
Is she kidding
This isn’t normal
One

What?
I’ve forgotten
Where I was
Just to be safe
I’ll start again
Then I snap
Then she snaps
For goodness...
I was not there when it happened.
I witnessed the plane hit. It was rapid.
The towers stood tall, but now they are flattened.
I was just one year old.
There were two other attacks, I was told.
Rescue workers were quick and bold.
I was far away from the events.
The belongings in my bag make up my parent's contents.
Who knows what all this devastation presents.
I hear about it every year on the a...
off she goes.
they sent her away
and i know
it’s awful to say
but isn’t the timing
awful convenient?
how she was crying
about how it was a secret?
they both found out
at the same time
and now they doubt
that i wasn’t lying
what if they think it’s me?
think i’m the problem
what if they can’t break free
of the thought it was them?...
If you’re not happy
Do something about it
You’re not a tree
You’re not grounded or have roots to keep you in one place
No one is forcing you to stay where you’re not happy
Go where you’re not wanted
Think real hard before making the leap
If dreaming of something or someone else makes you smile then go be happy
Remember you’re not a DAMN TREE...
Nervous sweat covers me
My crush was my friend
How could this be?
You just asked my to be your girlfriend
Been 20 minutes and I
Don't know what to say
I'm so nervous do I
Have to answer today?
Mom doesn't full approve
Says to ask my friend
That moved
If I should be his girlfriend
Agh, what should I say
Yes or no?
Do I have to say yes today?
I don't know!

20 minutes, no answer
What will sh...
The times I had with you,
Ahhh, how I had no clue
I loved you, that I knew,
Can you feel all the truth?
You made me feel brand new
The emptiness around your pitiful self,
I can hardly imagine I liked you
I’m ashamed of it, honestly, that I fell,
But I hope you don’t know that...
Whatever happened to the Mary Celeste?
Who encircled the globe in the 1870s
Abandoned off the Portuguese coast bereft
Of her captain, crew all lost to the sea
Her hatches asunder, her quarters a mess
November 25th the ship log’s final entry
Was she the victim of betrayal and theft?
Some look for answers in piracy
Other blame nature for getting her best
Waves, spouts, krakens are the top three
