    Keep in mind that I rarely write lyrics; this poem just kind of came out as one. I don't expect to win, for I know it's not the best lyrics, but I would like feedback if you're doing that.
    Have A Nice Day

    Story About A Girl

    Have you ever seen,
    A broken smile,
    Have you ever seen,
    Her try the extra mile?
    Have you ever noticed,
    How her makeup runs,
    Have you ever noticed,
    The look in her eyes that says 'I'm done'?
    And have you ever tried to help,
    Her lone and broken hert,
    And have you ever tried to help,
    Get her to the start?

    This story is about a girl,
    So lost and all alone,
    The story about a girl,
    Who can't find her way home.
    And have you ever seen,
    Her cut and break,
    And have you ever seen,
    How much her heart can take?

    Now see her there,
    Lost and alone,
    Now see her there,
    With no way home.
    She tries to live,
    But can't find her way,
    She tried to live,
    Everyday.

    Do you realize,
    How broken she feels?
    Do you realize,
    How she kneels?
    She can't carry her load,
    She's too fragile and small,
    She can't carry her load,
    She's begun to stagger and fall.
    But did you ever try to help,
    Her stand up on her own?
    Did you ever try to help,
    Her find her way home?
    And have you ever realized,
    She always says she's fine,
    Have you ever realized,
    How she's balancing a line?

    Now watch her silently,
    As she staggers and falls,
    Now watch her silently,
    As she crawls.

    And now I'm going to cut myself to sleep,
    Make it slow and make it deep,
    Make me dream of nights so bright,
    This blood, this dream, my kryptonite.
    Catch me as my body falls,
    Watch and laugh as I crawl.
    Watch me faint from weakness so strong,
    Watch me catch this sleep so long.
    Passing out and dropping fast,
    We all knew I couldn't last.
    Your confident in me has faded,
    So my body now has been traded,
    To a place so dark and evil still,
    It is the one place that loves to kill.
    My kryptonite so strong and right,
    I try to hold onto it with all my might,
    But it drags me far and drags me low,
    Into a place where I can not go.
    I look around this satisfying place,
    And notice what it is in haste.
    It scares me so to know where I am,
    To know where I have been cast into this repulsive sham.
    How oh how, can you do this to me?
    My dear, dear kriptonite has killed me.
    I thought I could trust you, dear razor blades,
    But everything I do seems to cascade.
    F**k it all and every bit,
    This time I'll give up and slip.
    Fall deeper and deeper into Hell,
    I tried to grab on but but instead fell.
    Forgive me kryptonite,
    For I failed to hold onto the light,
    Once again I've let go,
    And fallen into my ultimate low.

    It shoulda been an obvious choice
    Oh i coulda made it worth it
    If I had only listened to that voice
    that repeated itself in my head
    the sound of my mother in my ears
    tellin' me just to be careful
    but i ignored those words of love and wisdom
    and everyones a little less cheerful

    me and a buddy were off to a party
    I didn't think much of that
    me and my buddy were gonna start drinking
    oh it didn't seem that bad
    and as it got later,
    we thought we should leave
    grabbin the car keys, pullin up our sleeves.
    I hopped into the car, even though I knew I should stay

    It shoulda been the obvious choice
    oh I coulda made it worth it
    if i had only listened to that voice
    that repeated itself in my head
    the sound of my mother in my ears
    tellin' me just to be careful
    but i ignored those words of love and wisdom
    and now everyones a little less cheerful

    driving down the road,
    only 6 blocks to go
    we turned on the wrong corner
    we drove through stop signs
    we were speeding near the school streets
    and everything went hazey

    it shoulda been an obvious choice
    oh i coulda made it worth it
    if i had only listened to that voice
    that repeated itself in my head
    the sound of my mother in my ears
    telling me just to be careful
    but i ignored those words of love and wisdom
    and now everyones a little less cheerful

    I sit here in a wrecked car
    the air is growing thin
    I look over to my friend
    she's lying there helpless...
    breatheless
    lifeless

    it shoulda been the obvious choice
    i could have made it worth it
    If I had only listened to that voice
    that repeated itself in my head...

    Imprisoned Heart

    Escaping my prison, breaking the ties,
    Uncaging emotions I once thought had died;
    Finding true pleasure in love's sweet melody,
    Still hesitating to let my heart be free.

    (Chorus)I see your sweet gentle face as sunlight at break of dawn;
    All pain and confusion melts away forever gone.
    Your presence gives me strength to push on through the fears,
    And gives love one good chance to risk the heartbreak and the tears.

    A new life now I've found, to live for someone else,
    Forgetting my foolish pride, my fortress you have filled.
    Among God's heavenly hosts, no angel can compare
    To a spirit so beautiful as the one you bare.

    (Chorus)

    okay, about the craziest thing I could come up with, tahnk goodness the contest is already closed, anyway.

    Sing to the sky,
    Sing a song,
    Don't ask why.
    Ask for a miracle,
    Choose your heaven,
    Have a try

    CHORUS:
    Have a nice day,
    Sing a song,
    Sing a song,
    Don't ask why,
    Just sing, sing to the sky.

    -
    I haven't been praying,
    In a long, long time,
    Too busy singing,
    That's all Im saying.

    So sing for a miracle,
    sing to the sky,
    Ask for a heaven,
    To rain you manna,
    just try.

    Don't ask for material things,
    Don't ask for clothes,
    Don't ask for magazines,
    Or any of those..

    REPEAT CHORUS

    -
    Ive been walking too long,
    Ive been walking too tall,
    Now when I fall,
    I say my last prayer.

    Make it a love song,
    Make it bitter-sweet,
    Don't fall now, honey,
    Just sing a song.
    Don't ask why.
    Just sing a song to the sky.
