Invisible

As a child

I always wanted  to be invisible

Wouldn't that be cool?

If no one could see me

Then I couldn't act a fool

No one could laugh

No one could hurt me

Being invisible

Would be the perfect life for me

I could stay out of sight

And be happy for once

I could live my life

How I always thought I should

Maybe it is not much of a life at all

But it happens to be something I want

Because what I am living

I would hardly call a life

I get through everyday

Just waiting for the next

But I should enjoy the day

Not struggle through it

I should feel comfortable in my own skin

And love who I am

But I can not do that

When I feel judgement all around

Broken Promises

There was once a girl

Who made a promise she could not keep

She tried so hard

But she became so weak

She promised him her love

Now and forever

They wanted to have children

Though they never

She was in and out of the hospital

Time and time again

She was told to say her goodbyes

Because she was near the end 

How could she tell the truth

About the fate she has come to meet

How could she break a promise

That she always intended to keep

"My dearest love,

How do I tell you...

I could not keep the promise

But know that my love was true."

Desperate Measures

There was once a time
In which a child was stuck
He had to make a choice
That was just his luck

He did not know what to do
He was trapped within his mind
There was an answer awaiting
That he just had to find

Most of the time
He struggled with the thought
Was it worth it
Or was it not

He took desperate measures
Always trying to please
So that one day
His mind might be at ease

As the years passed
The child became weak
But through his darkest hours
He remained on his feet

Mountain after mountain
Sea after Sea
The beautiful child discovered
What it takes to be "me"
