"This is what they see," I'll say
As i'm staring into my reflection
Against my will the smiles there
The strength of my protection"

"If your parents never had kids...chances are you wont either..."

I talk to absolutely no one.
Couldn't keep to myself enough.
And the things bottled inside have finally begun
to create so much pressure that I'll soon blow up.

If you can read this...thank your teacher...

I feel diseased
is there no sympathy from the sun?
The sky's still fire
but i am safe in here
from the world outside

so tell me
what's the price to pay for glory?

-FINCH

Maybe one day my secret will be out
maybe then you'll really care
but for now ill hide my wrists
And keep saying, "I'm Okay, I Swear"

-from my "I'm Okay, I Swear" poem

-even though i knew it couldn't happen, i still had hope, and hope is what destroyed me..-

*^*Crow*^*

I'm sorry for the person I became.
I'm sorry that it took so long for me to change.
I'm ready to try and never become that way again
'cause who I am hates who I've been.

-Relient K

This is my last time to fail
The last time to see it in your eyes
The hatred, dissapointment,the fear
Leaving you with the goodbye of goodbyes

Tears of hope run down my skin.
Tears for you that will not dry.
They magnify the one within
And let the outside slowly die.
