I thought it was real Someone should have told me not to feel You looked at me and said "I'll try" I looked into your eyes and began to cry You said "Why aren't you doing what you're supposed to do?" Confused I looked up at you Our eyes locked and I felt the bliss As we leaned in for that long overdue kiss Someone should have told me things aren't how they seem Someone should have told me I was having a dream Because when I woke up to find myself in my bed I wished I was back in my dream instead

I hear a song, a whisper in the wind, chimes in a window; the roar of the lake and suddenly I'm thinking of you. The shape of your face; the sparkle in your eyes; the passion in your words. I shake my head try to remove my thoughts. Play a new song; change my emotion. The wind changes direction I look behind me as if you'll appear but you never do. Will I ever see your face, that sparkle in your eyes hear the passion in your words? I hate to admit it. I live in my denial, that I miss our friendship. But I do. And maybe someday can never be but maybe just maybe promises can't be broken and this was just a new page.

"Why me?" Megan Voories asked, again. "We've already been over this, blondie," I responded, sighing and slumping in my chair.  "I pick people based on the harshness of what I think will happen to them.  If I could save everyone I would."  I picked my drink off the table in the commercial space station and took a chug, the action giving me time to organize my thoughts. Since humanity had begun using its advanced space travel and tracking technology to its fullest, we had discovered most of the galaxy.  Of course, after discovering this territory humans and all the other intelligent species within it began spreading out to new places.  With t

The store was not busy tonight. Customers wandered in and out, solitary dancers to the muzak that floated down the aisles. Cady watched them with unfocused eyes - her job didn't take a lot of concentration. "Good evening, ma'am, do you have Flybuys?" Hands moved automatically, packing groceries into plastic bags with unconscious precision. "That will be $11.90, thank you, have a good night. Good evening, sir, do you have Flybuys?" Her eyes focussed with a snap - he hadn't handed over a card. "Sir?" There weren't any groceries on the counter, either. "Sir?" The man's face was unremarkable, the kind of face that had passed her a hundred

Beneath the crying tears, Beyond the bruised ego, Is a girl, who's just like me. Fragile as always, Broken so many times. No glue can save her, Only she can save herself. She will move on eventually. Heart strong as ever, She'll beat them all, Love the loved, And hate the hated. Deep down beneath it all, The girl so broken, Is just like me.

I don’t walk the way the other girls do Softly and full of grace I’m not pretty like the girls in magazines I’m scarred and don’t look right I’m not slim like the other girls Beautiful and thin My thoughts are different from other peoples They won’t let me fit in I’m not tall like the models are Short while they are gorgeous I don’t act the way a lady should But ladies make me nervous So Imperfect I can’t do anything right So Imperfect I can’t bear to see my reflection So Imperfect How could I be wanted? So Imperfect What does Perfection mean to me? I don’t
