Chapter One
Life Life comes.
It goes.
Some love it.
Some hate it.
Life is like a roller coaster.
It goes up and down.
Sometimes I laugh.
Sometimes I cry.
Life comes.
Life goes.
I die.
I Smile ... I smile when you sing.
I smile when I think of spring.
I smile when you make me laugh.
I smile when you laugh.
I smile when you give an encouraging word.
I smile when you are sarcastic.
I smile when you smile.
I smile, because I know smiling says a lot.
I smile when you sing.
I smile when I think of spring.
I smile when I think of you.
Being Single Fancy and free,
Lonely and bored,
That is what being single means to me.
Forget being cuddled when you are scared.
There is not any one to care when life seems dim and
cold.
You are not caressed and told that everything is going
to be alright.
There is not someone there to make you smile when life's
journey encompasses your being.
Being single, it is not all that it is cracked up to be!
But hey there isn't a problem with going out, you can do
as you please.
You always wonder,
Am I ugly and why do men not like me?
The knots of another tying you down do not have a grip
on you!
You do not have anyone there to know what you do
when they are not around.
Sad, lonely, fancy, and free,
That is what being single means to me.
God God,
I love you.
I need you.
Here I am.
Do you see me?
You are everything,
You are everything to me.
God,
You are in my laughter.
You are in my tears.
I am not alone.
I am not alone with you here
God,
Please stay with me
Be my friend.
Do not leave me.
I love you.
I need you.
Have you forgotten me?
Outside My Body Outside my body I see the little girl weeping.
She is shattered lying upon the ground.
Weak little girl you are stupid.
Her body trembles as she feels her knees bending.
Twisted in her night gown, she sees her veins bleeding.
Outside my body, I hear her screaming.
Her voice trapped deep within her throat.
Damaged little girl quit trying.
Her scars are so deep within that no one sees them.
She is so scared and afraid that she feels like drifting.
Outside my body, I am safe and sound.
Roses are for maidens, her white flower is tainted.
Lay there little girl, there is no more sleeping.
Withered, stained, and torn her petals fall.
Destined for somebody to love her, but no one will want
her at all.
Outside my body, the little girl is barely breathing.
His odor is suffocating and is sucking her life away.
You are worthless little girl, and don't you forget it.
He kisses her forcefully, her energy is wasting.
She leaves her body to deal with his greed.
Outside my body is the little girl I must face.
Now it is my turn to take her place.
