losers lie upon the
gory ground
their bloody battered
bodies die and fester all a round

corpses
sleep
where once brave men
did fight

our last f-a-r-e-well
to them we keep
as they greet their
eternal night

You think you know who your true friends are? Well wait until high school and see who's there for you when your ex boyfriend spreads rumors about you. Think you'll never do drugs? Wait until it's right there in front of you and all your "friends" are doing it. Think you're tough? Wait until you say the wrong thing to the wrong person see who backs down first. Think you're smart? Well wait until you have an English paper, science project, history test and a 10 -minute monologue due tomorrow just because you were absent for one day. Think you're cool? Well wait until you're the only one who doesn't make the cheerleading squad, see how cool you are then. You think you're popular? Wait until your parents just can't afford the new tommy hilfiger jacket everybody has. Think you'll never fall in love? Wait until a guy looks deep in your eyes and says he loves you. Think you'll never get your heart broken? Well wait until that same guy who said he loved you is holding hands with another girl. Think you wont have sex? Wait untill the guy you think you love says it will make you closer. What would you do then? Think you'll never have an eating disorder? Wait until everyone else in school weighs 100 pounds and you're going on 150. Think that you're always going to be your own individual? Well wait until one morning when you look in the mirror and you're just like everybody else.

There's something in a simple hug
That always warms the heart;
It welcomes us back home
And makes it easier to part.
A hug's a way to share the joy
And sad times we go through,
Or just a way for friends to say
They like you 'cause you're you.
Hugs are meant for anyone
For whom we really care,
From your grandma to your neighbor,
Or a cuddly teddy bear.
A hug is an amazing thing -
It's just the perfect way
To show the love we're feeling
But can't find the words to say.
It's funny how a little hug
Makes everyone feel good;
In every place and language,
It's always understood.
And hugs don't need new equipment,
Special batteries or parts -
Just open up your arms
And open up your hearts.

When the tears
try to introduce themselves
just smile.
Even if it's only for a little while.

this is your dance
live every moment
leave nothing to chance.
swim in the sea,

When I was young, the smallest trick of light, could catch my eye, then life was new and every new day I thought that I could fly. I believed in what I hoped for, and I hoped for unseen things, I had wings and dreams could soar, I just don't feel like flying anymore.
