"Grieving in Silence"

For the past several weeks,
I've been grieving in silence.
Lost one of my family/friends
To domestic violence.

And though it pains me,
That you're gone away.
I'll be thinking about you--
Every step of the way.

"Lost Girl"

When I look in the mirror,
I don't even see me.
I see a lost girl,
Still trying to figure out who she wants to be.
I see a lost girl,
Just yearning to be free.

"Something's Not Right"

Something's not right--

I have to get back to my core.

And find all the pieces--

To my heart once more.

To get back to the girl--

That I was before.

"In This Game Called Life"

In this game called life--

I'm forever losing.

To live or to die--

Is what we're choosing.

And though decisions in life,

Can be very confusing.

You can't really win,

Without sometimes losing.

"If I Fall"

I'm going to show my heart,

And I'm going to show it all--

Because I'll need God to put it back together,

If I fall.

"Forget Me Not"

Forget me not,

But if you do--

 Always remember that,

I love(d) you.

"Before 25"

You didn't see 25--

Before you died.

Your friends, your family,

Everyone cried.
