Daylight
Without a doubt in my mind, Carly Ferro was one of the sweetest, nicest, and most genuinely beautiful people I have ever met in my life. On September 26, 2012 she passed away unexpectedly. With her passing, a piece of everyone in our senior class of 2013 left with her.
Senior Year Beg...
hey you, the girl with the looks
hey you, holding all those books
let me take those from your hands
none of these pages could make you understand
what i have yet to show you, my dear
but just give me some time, i swear ill make it clear
i just have to fight the world real quick, while i swallo...
You’re an awful mess, I’ll finally confess
And leaving you is for the best
I'll tear away and leave behind the heart from my chest
In attempts to avoid hurting and thinking of you less
And as for conclusions and goodbyes, I guess we’ll just forget the rest
This should be al...
the things ive never dared
to ever share before
are tucked neatly in order
right behind this locked door
and id be glad to show you
and get these skeletons out
i really need some space these days
cause its hard to ignore the shouting
and pouting and doubting of this life
b...
the atmosphere lifts up
and im high on the scent of you
the heat warms my bones
as we sink into our seats
just our first encounter
you got me beat
for lack of better terms
but i couldnt help but squirm
hoping to inch my way closer to you
while still looking calm and cool
...
youre so pathetic it makes me drool
im so glad we agreed on the rule
to not speak cause every day i can tell how weak you are
but im fine and you seem as closed off as ever
and behind that screen you think
your so clever
lets push this button and pull this lever
reality is about to flood the...
cant wait til your gone
so i can get some air
this isnt the place you belong
and this isnt fair
but im gonna stand up straight
and tell you i dont care
and this just isnt fair
you can stare me down
and ill shoot you back
but as soon as i hear the sound
of your voice i h...
I stand in the middle of the street
with people rushing by
i reach out to them
but im nothing but a figment of light
passing through the sky
i walk around some
and wonder what ive become
yesterday was the day i died
but the best day i ever lived
i heard how they all cried
i just looked at ...
I sit here alone
silent as gold
with more words in my head
than words i say
I always thought it'd be someday
just not this day
i always meant to say "hi"
but i always just walked by
you always meant to love me
i didnt mean to hurt
but you just smile and say
"its all in...
with the taste of blood
and swears in my mouth
i feel a flood from my stomach
empty out onto the floor
along with my hope of you coming
all lost within seconds
the reality hits my face
sweat flying into the air
im knocked out cold
by the hate you strike me with
just to put on a new face
...
i feel the cold in the wind
and the hurt in your eyes
i can hear the screams and cries
and the hate in your lies
im here and your there
and to us its not fair
if i could only be
exactly what you wanted from me
i think this world would be a better place
and this life
a quicker race
ive nev...
as hard as it is to say
i wish you were here
to hug me when im lonely
and to wipe away my tears
but your half way across the country
spending half my life
doing who knows what
in who knows where
and im stuck here
while your out there
and you make it clear that nothings fair
i wish you wer...
The car was dirt. As dad shoved himself in, i sighed. Another car ride, another chance to die. With my head down, i got in. Here we go.
Where we were going, i never know. Never cared enough to ask. Dad always got real mad and drove. I guess it was his way of running from his problems...or driv...
Dear world,
Do you ever just...forget about everything? Even if its just for a moment. Just take a stroll and let it all unravel itself like a ball of yarn in the hands of a incline. I think we all need a way to forget about it all, let our muscles know what dead feels like, and let our minds c...
Dear World,
How are you today? I see you shiver, so you must be cold. Though, with the anger you create, the stress makes it hot. Ive formed a cold sweat.
Where has everyone gone to? Is there a place in which we all are supposed to go? Where the good go to get away and the bad to stay ...
that old apparment smell
with the paint peeling off the walls
in what seems like elegant curls
the last attempt at decoration
but this place
this place was my detonation
my home i hated to be
i remember that feeling
every time so ready to leave
as mother lay
sedated by her own slow death
...
i hate how you look at me
i hate that you stare
i hate how i love you
when you dont even care
i despise everything you've done to me
and the pain that you give to me
i do nothing but wear
with my heart on the ground
you make me ride this ferris wheel
round and round
the cycle never stops
...
ith every slight look
i see the hurt
bleed from your eyes
in the form of tears
and my guilt flushes in
and your body lay
representing such a motionless being
and all together it presents
a sight i cant bear to see
you pay no attention to stare
forced to wonder
i wish i didnt care
your wo...
Loveletters floating in my left ear
And the cold breeze drifting past my right
As i stare out into the abyss
Of green leaves and individuality
Without being stood for
Or outspoken
The blank spaces fill the silence
With the smiles your beauty creates
The daring to be different
To be exactly ...
my body feels like glass
and with every step i take
im one foot farther away from you
but one inch closer to being okay
i feel vulnerable
in the dark
alone and here to fend for myself
but when i think of you
it feels like my hearts about to melt
thats not right and neither is this
i try to...
im only human
im inhumane
you came
you became
they saw
they never realized
she cried
when he died
and everyone lied
about that day
there was nothing else to say
and being only human
is and was my price to pay
as i lay
breathing the dirt
gravity pressing my chest against the ground
ph...
This year, a ton of teachers retired or quit, so our grade got new teachers. For the first day of school, rumors went around for who the teachers were. People were already interested in our English teacher because her name was Ms. Pringle. Personally, I pictured the guy on a Pringle's can to be our ...
A few years ago, I met one of my dad's friends. His name was Donald, but everyone called him the 'Big Kahuna'. They called him that because he was a big guy. He was a bouncer with my dad and his friends. That's not how my dad met him though.
Kahuna heard my dad on the radio and saw him at a bar and...
my left shoe united
not willing to reach it
my life slipping away
not willing to move
monday to fri.
i walked those halls
as empty as it became
when students crashed into walls
i was good with straight A's
but at the end of the day
i was a nobody again
the clock ticked on the 4
everyone ...
in life we wish to make an impression
some make a dent
some seem to fail
and fall into depression
they never payed attention
during the lesson
loosing all the teachings
on what to do
they lost their manual
on what to do
who to go to
and now they have no clue
them in a field of depression...
