    I stare around, not really caring
    As the teacher rambles on
    I feel myself just staring
    Nothing seems so wrong

    I look around, check to see
    If something will catch my eye
    Looking to my left, then over to my right

    I think of the boys I cared about
    And now know I cannot love them
    Those did not compare
    To the one I truly found

    Yet still I stare at that one person
    That used to be my crush
    Their angelic face and wide, broad shoulders
    Once seemed to be quite lush

    Although I now know someone else
    I love quite well
    I can never let this person know
    That I used to have a deep infatuation
    And how my blush did grow

    I try to turn away
    But from the corner of my eye
    I see him staring at me
    Blue peircing brown in the sky

    I wonder why life is this strange
    Why here, why now?
    I can't help but simply stare
    I don't understand right now

    I remember their innocent smile
    Their pearl white teeth
    I knew he was close
    But he's not the guy for me

    can it be for a group of persons rather than just a single person?
    can it be just a description of a place?

    Dreamer: Be As You Are (If you like it I'd love comments so check out my profile)

    She knew there were miracles but she couldn’t touch one.
    Freckled face with sun-kissed hair, she couldn’t see beauty.
    Blue eyes sad like the ocean longing for the faith of the sea.
    Broken heart shattered along the glass road of eternity.

    Pastel skin dimming lights that were golden in her eyes.
    Wheat fields used to be her dream escape from her reality.
    She needed the open sky where clouds were cotton candy.
    Billowing sails from boats releasing ties from the shore.

    She knew there were miracles.
    God never showed her much grace.
    Dying inside without the light of flames igniting her world.
    Couldn’t see that girl who lived within her. Who they saw.
    She desired for the islands maybe a ranch out west
    Where you can be as you are.

    UNHEALED WOUNDS...

    I can see the swarm of people there,
    all are aloof and no one is cared.
    lost in their own world of pains,
    they are hurt and thats the reason they are here.

    In the wine of their glasses,
    they find their faces unknown.
    its hard for them to identify themselves
    as they are so aloof, so alone.

    They cry out their words so loud,
    and burst out their anger filled-in.
    they try to vommit their heart out of their mouth,
    but keep on drinking whisky and gin.

    They swollow every peg of drink down their throat,
    and bring them out through their crying eyes.
    the tears are not just salted droplets but,
    its the pain and grief which lies inside.

    People come and forget themselves,
    by talking to the strangers they never know.
    shouting "cheers" so loud to hide their pain
    their grief is lessen and pain is so low.

    Some come here bcoz they are cheated,
    some to reduce their grief.
    some come here to forget their beloved,
    and some come here for ease.

    This place is a world to them,
    where they can do what they wish to.
    they are away from this world so cruel,
    which gives them the pains and unhealed wounds too...

    to the silent "stranger"

    why're you sitting there
    staring at me
    why dont you say something
    for a change

    any one word
    can make the difference
    dont just sit there
    staring at me

    this is the fourth year
    of you in my classes
    of you staring at me
    with a word of anything

    maybe this is your year
    just talk and tell me
    what you wnat
    and maybe ill give it to you

    so my dear you're sitting
    there thinking of me
    so how about coming
    and talking to me.

    ~No Emotions Shown~

    Nothing sketchy, nothing fake,
    no more lies, too much at stake.
    Everything I say is real.
    What I say, I feel.
    Too much time wasted arguing,
    too little time spent on important things.
    I've let too many people slip away,
    but this will all change one day.
    When I find that one who truly sees,
    all thats good inside of me.
    But until that day I wait alone,
    til' that day no emotions shown.
