"Hurricane"

I wasn't always like this,

I used to be carefree.

Until a hurricane--

Sucked the life out of me.

"Trauma"

Trauma, trauma--

Surrounded by drama.

It turns out you're ill,

Just like your mama.

"Wait A Minute"

Wait a minute--

Think before you do this.

Wait a minute--

You're surely someone I would miss.

Wait a minute--

I know the days are getting tough.

Wait a minute--

I know that things are getting rough.

Wait a minute--

Just give it some time.

Wait a minute--

You'll see you're going to be just fine.

Wait a minute--

There's something out there for you.

Wait a minute--

There's something you can do.

Wait a minute--

Just have patience please.

Wait a minute--

As I say a prayer on my knees.

Wait a minute--

You can do it, just hold on to hope.

Wait a minute--

As I find out ways for us to cope.

Wait a minute--

You'll be okay.

Wait a minute--

You'll have your day!

"Stuck in Isolation"

Closed ears,
Closed mind,
Stuck in isolation.

Closed doors,
Closed heart,
No visitation.

No one,
Nobody,
Left all alone.

Not here,
Not there,
She's all gone.

Knock. Knock.
Who's there?
She sees no one.

"Under Her Skin"

Under her skin

Is a beautiful soul.

She's trying so hard

But she just can't let it go.
