Maybe Today Will Be Different She smiles to hide her pain She laughs to hide her tears She stays because running away don't solve anything She questions everything because she believes nothing She prays because her faith got her where she is She walks with pride because her journey has just begun But more importantly, she loves, because she knows that one day her tears will dry, her pain will diminish, her fear of trust will no longer exist and she'll be able to open her heart to someone who will love her in spite of all her perfect flaws!

Someday I wish I could have been the one You brag about to your friends The one you love with all your heart Till the very end. I wish I could have been the girl That you said you'll always love The girl you place on a pedestal The one you place no one above. Instead I'm just an option The girl that's sitting on the side The one you want as just a friend No matter how hard I tried. Someday someone will see me In a light that shines on me And love me for who I am And not what they want me to be.

Good Riddance Your words have cut me like a knife You have left me here in pain Your actions have scared the hell out of me And I'm slowly going in sane. You have given me guilt You have taken my heart We cannot be together Now that we're apart. I'm tired of trying To show that I care I'm tired of giving And getting no where. You can deal with your problems Good luck with all that I'm working on me And getting me back!

Why I'm searching for an answer To the simple question why And all I see are bruises That you have laid upon my eye. I'm searching for an answer To a question I shouldn't have to ask Wishing I could go back in time And not have to wear this mask. I'm searching for an answer That I will never see To the simple question why You put your hands on me!

Another Day Another day alone Another day by myself Another of looking At your picture on a shelf. Another day of tears Another day of questions Another day of hoping That I have learned my lesson. Another day without you Another day I fear Another day that's closer To being thankful you're not here.
