  It’s a moment frozen Forever in time, Preserved for eternity As life flies past you And hard as you try To hold on, The clock hand Slips out of your grip And keeps turning Ever faster. But in the confines Of this frame The second hand stops. There’s no moving forward, Nor looking ...

  Black clouds rolled in the heavens opened up five minutes into the game. On the sidelines 50 umbrellas went up almost simultaneously. For 35 more minutes we all slipped and slid across the mud puddle we call Lancaster field number 10. It's half time now, and all 16 of us are huddled in a tight...

  Date With a History Book

  

  By shoopshoop3713, Litchfield, NH

  I pick you up ‘round 7:00 Hoping you won’t keep me up too late, And I know that as hard as I try You won’t let me forget our date. I’d hoped to be able to go out, But you’d rather a night inside, So I’ve got nobody to talk to And nowhere to hide. You leave me in silence; I can�...

  Tell Me

  

  By shoopshoop3713, Litchfield, NH

  The rain splashes down, the light’s washed away, Been thrown in this new word and I am afraid Of what lies ahead. Can I be brave? For I face the music for mistakes that you made. And I wonder… REFRAIN: Can you tell me Who I am and where I’m going? When will this all be okay? And will...

  Running for my Life

  

  By shoopshoop3713, Litchfield, NH

  He dragged me along so I could see this through, And I didn’t know what I was getting into. When he wipes the smile right off his face I start to wonder why I’m in this place. My head’s screaming “Run!” but my feet won’t move, And he’s got other plans and a point to prove. So we�...

  Nerds Unite!

  

  By shoopshoop3713, Litchfield, NH

  If those who mind don’t matter And those who matter don’t mind Then why is it that Everybody’s trying to find Their link to the in-crowd That perfect cookie-cutter mold While the ones who make the difference Are the different and bold? So quit pretending you’re what Everybody wan...

  Liar, liar

  

  By shoopshoop3713, Litchfield, NH

  Well, it shouldn’t surprise me that we’re here right now. I want to believe it, but I don’t know how You can say that you’ve always cared About me when you’ve never been there. Well, why would I think that you’d be on my side? You don’t know me ‘cause you’ve never tried. Th...

  Is It Worth It?

  

  By shoopshoop3713, Litchfield, NH

  Running away on the double, Trying to stay out of trouble, Leaving behind everything I know, Breaking away from the status quo. Gotta’ be something better than this. I’m not someone that they’ll miss. REFRAIN: If I had a dime for everyone who told me I was wasting my time, Yeah, I...

  All good judgment, sense of reason flies Out the window when a thousand eyes Build up the pressure to burn a hole Through your skin, deep into your soul. The weight of their stares, their expectation, Heavy enough to break your concentration This situation’s where your pride is found, And t...

  Where I Go

  

  By shoopshoop3713, Litchfield, NH

  When everything is falling apart And nothing is what I thought It should’ve been, There’s a place in my mind Where I can find Some peace within. So I take a deep breath, Forget the world, and disappear. But nobody knows where I go. High on a mountain. I can see for miles. The ...

  Converse Shoes

  

  By shoopshoop3713, Litchfield, NH

  I see you standing the moonlight, Never looked more beautiful than tonight, But this is all so strange. Why did you have to change? Your actions seem so weird, you see. The reasons are unclear to me. But what I wonder most about you Is what ever happened to the converse shoes? Who are you,...

  Chameleon

  

  By shoopshoop3713, Litchfield, NH

  You look right on through me, walk on by. Don’t stop to say hello or wave goodbye. Well, I guess that I am invisible to you. So I sit here alone. What else can I do? ‘Cause I’m a chameleon, human chameleon. Who’s that kid in the mirror staring back at me? I know she’s there but no...
