Scared

once upon a time
i was just a little girl
too scared to be free
i was hurt by life,
so broken and bruised,
i tried to walk away from the pain,
but it followed me everywhere i went.
i tried to speak,
but the words wouldn't come,
i tried to talk,
but people told me, NO!
and so i did not talk.
alone, so so alone,
i crawled away crying,
not knowing what to do,
so i found my way
more or less,
to where i am now
and i guess I'm okay.

Lock And Key

They are bound together
By the fibers of my tears
Can't you see the pain etched in it?
Don't you hear
The sorrowful clank
Of metal against metal…..
It sounds like the clashing of swords
By two gallant knights
Braving another day of battle….
Or maybe it sounds like a prisoners chain
As he walks past his empty cell
And onto the gallows,
Dying for his beliefs….
Then again, it might sound like the pounding of bronze
To make a sword
That Is destined to take somebodies life…..
But maybe it just sounds like a lock turning a key

Wipe Your Tears Away

wipe your tears away girl
wipe your tears away
you've been thinkin' too much
'bout the things they say

wipe your tears away girl
wipe your tears away
he don't love you anyhow
so wipe your tears away

wipe your tears away girl
wipe your tears away
you need the change anyway
now wipe you tears away

wipe your tears away girl
wipe your tears away
you might need them someday
so keep your tears at bay

I'm Free

You're acting like an ass
to people who care.
What happened in your past
to make you not aware
of the people you hurt,
of the tears they cry,
you treat them like dirt,
and you make them feel like they should die.
I loved you boy
but you cut me down cold
you treated me like I was a toy
but I never believed those stories you told.
Did you ever think that I would lie
and say that I believed you?
Did you ever stop to think that I
knew the troubles you'd brew?
I'm sorry to say this,
but it has to be,
there are no chains on my wrist,
so now I'm free.

Rules

be true to who you are
never quit without a fight
keep your heart out of sight
you'll be doing all right

stand proud
stand strong
don't let any body tell you
that your wrong
and if you do this
you'll sing a new song.

speak up
speak out
you'll need to shout
to be heard above
the roaring crowd.

love life
live life

What Is It

What is it my angel,
What is it that you fear?
You keep looking over your shoulder
Like you're runnin' from the years

What makes you slow to love me?
What made you not trust my kiss?
You keep trying to forget about something,
What is it my dear?

What makes you weep so much darlin'?
What made you shed your tears?
You keep hiding from the world,
Like you are afraid it will smell your fears.

Whatever it is that plagues you,
Whatever pain that you have seen
tell it all to me,
Give your troubles to me.
I am here for you forever
