Backwards.....
We always forget memories we said
we would remember,
and remember the memories we tried so hard to forget.
We never get around to doing the things we love to do
we end up doing the things we will someday regret
We always say the things we were not supposed to repeat
and forget to say the things we were supposed to have
said
we will do whatever it takes to keep our own reputations
and we do anything to ruin others reputations instead
we end up saying tons of things we do not really mean
and never say the things that are locked inside our heart
we always finish up things that do not mean a thing
and things that are important we never even start
we get all the songs we hate stuck in our heads
songs we love always get stuck on the tip of our tongue
young adults just wanting the chance to just be older
adults always wanting one more chance to be young
We're always chasing the one's that run from us
and run away from the ones that chase us around
we end up being alone when we need someone the most
and are surrounded by people when we don't want to be
found
we run from problems we will one day have to face
and get in the middle of others problems when we don't
belong
we always let others know when we are right
and can never admit to anyone when we are wrong
it's too strange how everything is so backwards
but we have done things that way so long its hard to
change
I have always thought the ways we go about things
thought them to have always been just a little bit
strange.

Wonder
Do you ever wonder what i'm doing at any moment
does anything ever remind you of me from before
do you ever miss me so much you would do anything
and would drop everything if i walked through your door
do you ever imagine how life would be if we were still
close
if you hadn't moved away and you were still right here
and that all this time we've lost since we've been apart
was somehow forgotten or could just somehow disappear
i know all things happen for their own significant reason
and somtimes those things we want just aren't meant to be
things must take place when they are supose to take place
and should just be left up to fate and to destiny
but what we want so much are things we cannot change
and we don't know what we have until its gone away
then we regret losing what we never payed attention to
and wish it were given back to us somehow, someway
I can't help but wonder what your doing at certain
moments
and being reminded by things of you from the times before
i can't help that i miss you so much i would do anything
and i would drop everything if you walked through my
door.

Life
Gentlemen, ladies, girls, and guys
truth, fibs, and millions of lies.
Betrayal, hurt, sadness, and blame,
nobodies, somebodies, fortune and fame.
Friends, lovers, aquaintences, and enemies,
honesty, faith, the people that no one believes.
Good times, bad times, and those times in between,
beauty of new places we never have seen.
Birth, children, life, and old boring places,
changes, same, familiar, and strange faces.
Sunrises, sunsets, skies, moons, and stars,
scratches, cuts, bumps, bruises, and scars.
Broken hearts, tears, then moving on with our lives,
parents, siblings, babies, husbands, and wives.
Life, death, depression, and grieving,
here, and there, arriveing, and leaving.
Family, true love, and blessed with one true friend,
life has a beginning but every beginning has an end.

Inside
I do not understand how and why life is this way
how is it that life can get so twisted in one day
the ironic yet messed up things that people do
to those good people such as myself and you
its always the kind, genuine one's that get hurt
for no reason we get our faces shoved in the dirt
stabbed in the back by who knew, our own best friend
forced by them to put our friendship to an end
people mistake me for some kind of drama queen
but what is inside my heart and soul has not beem seen
if you knew how much i hurt, how much i've been through
You would say oh my God i'm so glad i'm not you
so don't judge somone solely on what you have heard
your an idiot if you choose to believe every single word
rumors are just rumors but you cannot say they are true
words aren't always truth because they are spoken to you
people medle in other peoples lives rather than theirs
instead
who cares who gets hurt, as long as a rumor gets spread
be more cautios because often nothing is as it appears
and you never know how many you've hurt or brought to
tears
a lesson to the wise, just words to the ones that are
slow
remember there won't always be water that lies below
you're not always going to have somthing to keep you
afloat
so go back and read again every single word I just wrote
