" I close my eyes but I can't rest. My body is tired, my mind is wandering. From the past to the east to the west. Trying to take up the blame, you've already taken from me. Can anyone tell me how we learn to live with ourselves?"


when the break comes you’ll know its for the best
but whether you survive that’s the ultimate test
don't you wish you had a hero to help you through the days
don't you wish you had somebody that knew what it takes
the light at the end of the tunnel, keep getting farther and farther away
but as they say and as i know
feelings can be hard to show
down in this cage i call a heart
things need to be mended it's falling apart
i need a bandage i need one soon
before the sun sets deep in the afternoon
who can be my hero the one
the only who can save me from this burning sun
perhaps it is you-time can only tell
i need to be saved from my own fiery hell
for now i can only hope and wish
for you are the one to give me the kiss
i love you i love you by far
yet i don't know who you are


The author's comments:
this was a song that i started writing at the beginning of high school. it was really difficult because my best friend and i had just ended a five year friendship because she had changed. i couldn't seem to make anything work, and i felt that i had no friends. then, i met Ray, one of my close friends. before, i had only been able to write the first part (until the light at the end of the tunnel part) but he finally convinced me to let him read my writing, and then he helped me finish it.
i guess you could say, he was my hero.

OMG..... JANA who knew that you could right like that!!! Maybe years from now you'll be an architect who rights poetry and then you'll design my house in Caly and then paint a poem- mural style- on my wall!!!!!!
