I hear you laughing Your voice is always in the back of my head It always has been Always been there, ever since the day you left. Ever since the day you walked across that stage. I knew I lost something from that point on But I still kept your voice in my memories. I keep your picture in my nightstand. Trying to stop loving you has been the hardest achievement I have ever tried to accomplish. And yet, I’ve still never succeeded. You will never read this, But, in my heart I wi...

Days go by and I see your face. I stare at you, and look for a trace, Of an old love that we used to share, And to see if you really even care. Not that I love you again, and neither do you, I just want to know if I was built on lies or truth. Did you really mean it when you looked in my eyes And told me that you would never say goodbye? My heart is made of ice cold stone. And all you’ve done has just left me alone I wonder why you can hurt me so And leave me here with no place...

So, you lie once… no big deal. But why don’t you lie twice? Why don’t you just drag someone down with false hopes of being a friend? Do you know how much that hurts? To say that you want to talk to me, and never follow through. Ever… I know that I was never pretty enough for you… that’s why I always wear makeup. I know that I was never thin enough for you… that’s why I run and work out everyday, and sometimes don’t even eat. I know that I was never smart enough for you… that’s why I...

What does a smile mean? Does it mean “Hello”? Does it mean “Glad to see you”? Is it a sarcastic way of saying, “You got exactly what you deserved.” or “Look at where I am and look at where you are.”? Every time I see a person smile… I question exactly what it means. But when they come up and talk to you following that smile… you tend to know their exact intentions. They wanted it to be friendly and they wanted to be thoughtful. When you see someone smile at you, but they absolutely...

Pretending to be the person I’m not Wondering from here to there Having no sense of true direction No one to hold my hand No one to call me angel Only the empty faces The empty faces I see day to day Hearing their awful mockery Only when my back is turned But with my ears completely open What is so wrong with me, That I cannot amount to even be a friend? What have I done to all those empty faces The faces were never there and saw what was done. They never cared when they saw...

I have a friend… we are developing a relationship. I don’t know where it will lead us, but wherever it does I will be very happy. We decided a good way to develop an understanding of each other is to ask each other questions (I have done it before in the past and it really does work.). Well, I first sent him an internet survey. I filled out mine first and sent it back before he did though. One of the questions was, “Do you believe in love?” and my response was, “More than anything.” ...

On an empty hill side, Somewhere far away. Where the stars shine without a doubt, Is where I’ll live someday. In an empty house, Somewhere bright and new. Where I can wish upon every star, And never have to look at you. In an empty room, Looking at the burning flame. Wondering what I am going to do next, And why I am living in such shame. Sitting on an empty chair, Listening to the sound of death. Dreaming about those who told me goodbye, Wishing I would take my last brea...

Just be yourself. I am tired of people posing as people they know they're not. Don't pretend to be a musician... when you can't play music. Don't pretend to be a friend... when you're never there. Don't pretend to be a singer... when you choke on your own words. Don't pretend to be so strong... when you can't take the blame for what you've done Don't pretend to be so innocent... when it is you who has lied all along. Just keep on pretending that you've never met me... that is the w...

What are the benefits of being a vegan? From what I can see, it is a very unhealthy “belief”. Although… I do understand vegetarians who can eat the products from animals. They have a very healthy lifestyle, they get all the vitamins and nutrients their body needs… but might lack a little protein unless they eat beans constantly. They actually might be somewhat healthier than most people. But with being a vegan, all you can eat/drink is broccoli and water… you can’t (or at least you s...

This is just a warning for everyone who puts out bird feeders during the spring, summer and fall: don’t kill the birds. By not cleaning out the feeders once a month, you could allow salmonella to breed in the seed and poison all of the birds (especially Nyjer seeds, which have a high oil content). If that doesn’t phase you, then if your dog or cat gnaws at the diseased bird… they could get it too. And in turn, they could give it to you. So if you see a dead bird in your yard; get off yo...

Women are not as seriously thought of as the weaker sex in America as we are in the rest of the world. I think about women who are not as fortunate as I living a life of fear in Bulgaria and Egypt. They need help. That is why Valentines Day is also known as V-Day. V-Day is a worldwide activist movement that raises money for groups trying to end violence against women. It is not only celebrated on the 14th of February, but through February and March. V-day events are held periodically ...

Don’t tell me not to cry, When I see the anger building in your eyes. Don’t tell me you care, When I know you wish me to die. Don’t speak such kind words, Only to gain back my trust. Don’t tell me you really did love me, When we both knew you were in lust. Don’t look at me when you kiss her, Just to see me run and hide. Don’t tell me you’ve never twisted the truth, When we both know all you’ve done is lied. Don’t make yourself look so innocent, Like you haven’t done a...

What is wrong with me? Why can’t I be like her? Why can’t I be the woman of your dreams? What is so wrong with me, That I cannot even be a friend… What is wrong with me? Why can’t I be pretty? Why can’t I be thin? Why can’t I just be perfect? So you can hold me in your arms, And never let me go… Like others did so long ago. What do you see in her, That you cannot find in me? Why can’t I be good at anything? Why am I so worthless to you? Why am I so worthless to everyone? ...

Gloomy nights. The nights you walk alone. Having only your own hand to hold, And oh – how you attempt to act so bold. When the world is resting on your shoulders, And everything you have ever done has gone wrong. So mortal, what do you plan to do with your pathetic life now? Do you plan to live a glorious life bathing in your own feeble misery? What about a semi-brilliant future living a sorry excuse for a life? Forget it useless soul, you know not of what you think. The cruel world...
