Write Me or Draw By: Rachael

Writing is much like drawing,
drawing much like writing.
Both express your feelings.

When you are sad, you write.
When you are happy, you write.
When you are angry, you write.

When you are sad, you draw.
When you are happy, you draw.

When you are angry, you draw.

So you don't draw well.

Writing is your way of drawing.

So you can't get your feelings out with writing.
Drawing is your way of writing.

Express yourself in any way you like.

Swim for your life

I promise you it's not as
far as you think

Love

Love is strong, love is bright.
Love is infectious, something we cant fight.
Love is a feeling you cant hide,
There are no rules by which you have to abide.
Love can hurt, love can kill.
But without love, our hearts cant feel.

Tell him you'll guide him through darkness or light.

Never forget that "I LOVE YOU"!

SMILE!

Later that day I got to thinking about relationships.
There are those that open you up to something new and exotic,
those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions,
those that bring you somewhere unexpected,
those that bring you far from where you started,
and those that bring you back. But the most exciting, challenging and
significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself.
And if you find someone to love the you that you love,
well, that's just fabulous! - Carrie, Sex and the City

I think it’s time I start to...
Live
Unafraid of tomorrow

I wanna live
I’m so tired of waiting
There’s no more time to lose
So give me strength to move
To live

So What By: Pink
So so what?
I'm still a rock star
I got my rock moves
And i don't need you
And guess what
I'm having more fun
And now that we're done
I'm gonna show you tonight
I'm alright, I'm just fine
And you're a tool
So so what?
I am a rockstar
I got my rock moves
And i don't want you tonight

Hero by Mariah Carey

There's a hero
If you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid
Of what you are
There's an answer
If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know
Will melt away

And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you

It's a long road
When you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand
For you to hold
You can find love
If you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt
Will disappear

Lord knows
Dreams are hard to follow
But don't let anyone
Tear them away
Hold on
There will be tomorrow
In time
You'll find the way

And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth

you've got someone here, someone who wants to make it alright, someone who loves you more than life, right here. -Anonymous

You caught me off guard.

Now I am running in circles.

I cant find a place to land,
clouds towering over me like mountains.

Soaring around, looking for my friends.

Realizing I lost them, trying to find a way.

You need some one by your side, some one to love,
something to hold on to.

Flying across the world, looking,
searching for love in the smallest places,
forgetting to look at the big picture.

You were right in front of me the whole time,
as we stand in silence, waiting.

The sky closing in, feeling like the world is going to end,
I realize you were there all along,

through all the years I looked past you
when I should have been looking right in front of me.

Hearing you, finally getting that you were the one I was looking for all along.

Holding each other tight, feeling so right.

Looking back at my life, reading between the lines.

I missed so much, lost it all, 'till I found you waiting for me-to figure it out.

-Anonymous Friend

Poem From The Sky

All my life,
I never knew love.
And then you came down
from up above.

It's hard not to think
of an angel like you.
When you dance through my head
holding my heart, and reading haiku.

It feels like I'm sick,
sick with love fever.
I guess that now,
you're the reciever.

-Matt Wease

Relient K The Lining Is Silver Lyrics
Isn't nice to know, that the lining is silver.
Isn't nice to know, that we're golden.
Well I found a list of flaws, that I saw in myself and other people, and I threw it away because...
Isn't nice to know, that the lining is silver.
found a love in me. I always somehow knew that it exsisted, it just needed to be set free.
Isn't nice to know, that we're golden. Oh!

Thanks again for the support!

Over You By Daughtry
I'm better off without you More than you, more than you know.
I'm slowly getting closure.
I guess it's really over. I'm finally getting better.
And now I'm picking up the pieces.
I'm spending all of these years Putting my heart back together.
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
I got over you.

I heard this song, and it motivated me to get over that person. I finally believed in myself that I could just forget about that person and go on with my life. For anyone else who experienced heart beak, you know this can take a long, long time. But, if you motivate yourself, eventually you'll be able to feel whole again. - Anonymous

A Few Moments
by Fion Lim

Sitting here staring at the computer screen,
moments shared flashing across,
bringing me to the past,
your face resurfaced in my mind.

Listening to soft instrumental music,
memories built swirling around,
tugging at my heart insistently,
your warmth and gentleness hugged me.

Pausing all my actions in mid motion,
images locked unfolding once more,
stirring bittersweet emotions,
your presence never left me.

Shuffling among the good memories,
open conversations stimulating my heart,
reaffirming my love for you once more,
your sincerity kissed my soul.

Smiling sweetly at no one,
visions created mingling happily,
filling me up with hopes and wishes,
your future links intricately with mine.

"As long as people can change, the world can change."
-Two Weeks Notice

A Smile
by Author Unknown

Smiling is infectious,
You catch it like the flu,
When someone smiled at me today,
I started smiling too.

I passed around the corner,
And someone saw my grin,
When he smiled I realized,
I'd passed it on to him.

I thought about that smile,
Then realized its worth,
A single smile, just like mine,
Could travel round the earth.

So, if you feel a smile begin,

Don't leave it undetected.
Let's start an epidemic quick,
And get the world infected.

If you can imagine it, you can achieve it; if you can dream it, you can become it.
-William Arthur Ward
