If when you wake up in the morning,
And the hurting is so great,
You don't want to get out of bed
And face a world of hate.
If everything in life goes wrong
And nothing you do seems right,
You just try a little harder
And soon you'll see the light.
For every person who has put you down
And filled your life with pain,
You must strive to achieve greatness
And show them you can win.
For every disappointment,
For the times you are let down,
There will be a better moment
And your life will turn around.
Because everyone feels heartache
And everyone feels pain,
But only those who have true courage
Can get up and try again.

The Final Act
Screeching tires, shattering glass,
Twisting metal, fiberglass.
The scene is set, is all goes black,
The curtain raised, the final act.
Sirens raging in the night,
Sounds of horror, gasps of fright.
Intense pain, the smell of blood,
Tearing eyes begin to flood.
They pull out bodies one by one.
What's going on? We were only having fun!
My friend is missing. What did I do?
Her belongings everywhere,
In the road there lies her shoe.
A man is leaning over me and looks into my eyes,
"What were you thinking, son?
Did you really think that you could drive?"
He pulls up the sheet, still looking at me,
"If you'd only call your mom or dad, you'd still be alive."
I start to scream, I start to yell
But no one can hear me, no one can tell.
They put me in an ambulance, they take my away.
The doctor at the hospital exclaims, "DOA!"
My father's in shock, my mother in tears,
She collapses in grief, overcome by the fear.
They take me to this house and place me in this box.
I keep asking what is happening,
But I can't make it stop.
Everyone is crying, my family is so sad.
I wish someone would answer me,
I'm starting to get mad.
My mother leans over and kisses me good-bye,
My father pulls her away, while she is screaming,
"WHY?"
They lower my body into a dirt grave,
It feels so cold, I yell to be saved.
Then I see an angel, I begin to cry.
Can you tell me what is happening?
And she tells me that I died.
I can't be dead, I'm still so young!
I want to do so many things
Like sing and dance and run.
What about college or graduation day?
What about a wedding? Please - I want to stay.
The angel looks upon me, and with a saddened voice,
"It didn't have to end like this, you knew you had a choice.
I'm sorry, it's too late now, time I can't turn back.
Your life is finished - that, my son, is fact."
Why did this happen? I didn't want to die!
The angel embraces me and with her words she sighs,
"Son, this is the consequence you paid to drink and drive.
I wish you made a better choice, if you did you'd be alive.
It doesn't matter if you beg me, or plead on bended knee,
There is nothing I can do, you have to come with me."
Looking at my family, I say my last good-bye.
"I'm sorry I disappointed you, Dad.
Mommy, please don't cry.
I didn't mean to hurt you, or cause you any pain.
I'm sorry all your dreams for me have all been ripped away,
The plans for my future now buried in a grave.
"It was a stupid thing to do, I wish I could take it back.
But the curtain is being lowered now.
So ends my final act."

Nightmares
A new dawn emerges
with its layers and layers
of pinks and yellows.
As the sun swallows up my
bedroom with satin rays of sunlight
I wake...
sweaty and screaming
foolish and alone.
And so I continue on...
living each day
feeling his sweat...
and hearing his heavy breath
in the back of my mind
every time silence creeps up on me.
Later I watch the sun, so naive
crawl under the horizon...
and I get restless as dusk approaches
for I know that when my head hits
that pillow...
the fight begins...
and he always wins
in the end.
Carrying my innocence off
holding it up to the moonlight
kicking and screaming until
...finally...
he leaves it and walks away
while is it raw and naked
shaking on the cold ground.
...until a new dawn emerges
with its layers and layers
of pinks and yellows...
Good morning.
A new dawn emerges
with its layers and layers
of pinks and yellows.
As the sun swallows up my
bedroom with satin rays of sunlight
I wake...
sweaty and screaming
foolish and alone.
And so I continue on...
living each day
feeling his sweat...
and hearing his heavy breath
in the back of my mind
every time silence creeps up on me.
Later I watch the sun, so naive
crawl under the horizon...
and I get restless as dusk approaches
for I know that when my head hits
that pillow...
the fight begins...
and he always wins
in the end.
Carrying my innocence off
holding it up to the moonlight
kicking and screaming until
...finally...
he leaves it and walks away
while is it raw and naked
shaking on the cold ground.
...until a new dawn emerges
with its layers and layers
of pinks and yellows...
Good morning.

I'm Sorry...
I'm sorry for all the times I lost my temper
For the times I was rude
For all the gifts that were given
And never received thank-yous.
For all the love you've given me
And I haven't given back
For all the times you were patient
A virtue that I lack.
I'm sorry for all the people
To whom I was so cruel
To all the people I laughed at
I acted like a fool.
I couldn't see past your imperfections
I couldn't see past my pride
Your feeling i trampled all over
On my high horse I would ride.
I'm sorry for all the times I lied
For the people I hurt along the way
Not a day goes by that i don't regret it
And I'd take it back any day.
The only person I cared about
Was me and only me
And now I'm truly sorry
I only wish I could make you see.
I'm sorry for everything I've done
For all the people I let down
I'm only asking for a second chance
So I can turn things back around.
I know that it's a little late
My deeds can't be undone
I realize now that I was wrong
And I'm sorry everyone.
I'm sorry for all the times I lost my temper

Numb
The sharp edge of the razor cuts my skin easily.
I'm numb to the pain,
Numb to the blood,
Too numb to realize what's happening,
To realize what I'm doing.
One cut follows another,
Till I can't stop.
The razor falls from my hand,
Blood drips down my arm,
Tears roll down my cheeks.
What have I done?
The sharp edge of the razor cuts my skin easily.
I'm numb to the pain,
Numb to the blood,
Too numb to realize what's happening,
To realize what I'm doing.
One cut follows another,
Till I can't stop.
The razor falls from my hand,
Blood drips down my arm,
Tears roll down my cheeks.
What have I done?

Another Statistic
I don't want to be another statistic
Some suicidal teen
Who makes a choice to kill herself
When the world just seems too mean.
She can't go on with life
Or so to her it seems
Reality has fallen short
And so have your dreams.
I don't want to be another statistic
Some pregnant little girl
Who met this great guy
And then gave sex a whirl.
She was only fifteen
But it felt so right
She thought they'd be together
For more than just a night.
I don't want to be another statistic
Some kid strung out on crack
Who started at a party
And now he can't turn back.
First cigarettes and alcohol
Now meth, crack and cocaine
He's been smoking it so long
That now he's gone insane.
I don't want to be another statistic
Some girl left in the rain
Who was walking home from school
Then raped and left in pain.
She can't tell her parents
And it hurts to tell her friends
She doesn't know what she'll do
To make this nightmare end.
I don't want to be another statistic
Some kid out of school
Who dropped out really early
And was acting like a fool.
He thought that it was boring
He thought that it was dumb
He doesn't have an education
But lives on the streets like a bum.
I don't want to be another statistic
Some stereotypical teen
I'm gonna make a difference
I'll finish with my dream.
I won't end up pregnant
On drugs or even dead
I won't drop out of school
Because I'll use my head.
I don't want to be another statistic
To fit into some mold
Of what society thinks of kids today
Because it's getting kind of old.
Not all of us are good
When will the world see us
And give us credit like they should?

That Warm Night
I was invited to a party,
a few roads across town.
I thought I'd meet my friends there,
but they were not around.
So I hopped into my beat-up car,
ready for adventure.
My mom came racing to my door,
I was ready for my lecture.
Instead she told me softly,
to be careful that warm night.
I promised her that I'd drive safe,
that everything would be all right.
I arrived at the locationi,
and accepted a small drink.
I didn't really want it,
but I didn't stop to think.
Soon I was gulping cocktails,
feeling lighter with each sip.
And I felt so free, invincible,
as I swallowed the last drip.
The room was spinning freely,
as I danced across the floor.
And I wondered why I hadn't ever
drank this much before.
Then, despite my happiness and fun,
my head began to ache.
I found my car keys in my purse,
'cause my brain was going to break.
I stumbled across the gardens,
unlocked my beat-up car.
Started up the engine,
headed across town once more.
But something tragic happened,
I didn't see the light.
I didn't see the people, either,
crossing that warm night.
As I slid across the pavement,
I knew my time had come.
My head just kept on spinning,
all this for just some fun.
The next moments were quite hazy,
as I lay mangled in the car.
Pain shooting through my body,
never thought it'd go this far.
Heard sirens in the background,
rushing to my aid.
But as I closed my tired eyes,
I knew it was too late.
As I saw the world below me,
my heart just filled with dread.
I saw the people that I hit,
and knew that they were dead.
I cried so hard on that warm night,
as I floated through the sky.
Knowing that it was my fault,
and I never said good-bye.
Now I'm floating up to heaven,
where I really don't belong.
Brought so much pain to others,
did something really wrong.
I killed six happy people,
four kids, a man and wife.
And I'm lying in a coffin,
because I lost my precious life.
I see my mother's upset face,
her eyes so filled with tears.
"This wasn't supposed to happen,
this is exactly what I feared."
I was just a normal teen,
who had too much to drink.
I had a boyfriend, did well in school,
but that night I didn't think.
So the next time you're invited
to a party with your friends,
Please remember this could be
the night when it could end.
I learned all this the hard way,
and made a terrible mistake.
So please don't do what I did,
and drink as much as you can take.
I had so much before me,
a great future straight ahead.
I wanted to be an actress,
but I can't because I'm dead.
It happened all so quickly,
didn't even get to fight.
Didn't know how fast my life could end,
I'll always remember that warm night.
