I am now of age
to go out on my own...

Go ahead and use me,
tell them all your lies...

I'm stuck on the sidelines,
feeling so lonely...

Ten year olds with cell phones,
Name brand clothes are worn by all...

You were always there to help me,
You were always so kind to teach...

I thought I needed others,
to carry on through the day...

The black pencil leaves a memory,
On paper of pure white...

My rusted emotions are straining in whispers.
The helpless desire left confusion in my eyes...

Heat comes off his back
Sweat pours down his sorry face...

A rainbow is so beautiful,
with its colors so bright...

Spare me your tears,
for no forgiveness I shall shed...

She awakes from her bed.
Slowly opening her eyes...
