Lost in Me

LOST IN ME

She’s always getting hurt and so she builds it up. She never has been able to forgive how it should be. She lets it go but always seems to remember. She goes every day smiling and fitting in with 3every one, but it’s sad she doesn’t know who she is. She doesn’t have the answers for her self. Some how she helps every one with their problems. She cries when no one can see or here her. She loves her dad and don’t understand her mom. She loves the best she can but seems to feel betrayed by every hardship handed to her by god. She knows there are people here for her know, but yet she’s convinced their here for some thing more ten she can give. She’ll break down soon and I want to be there, one more shoulder to bear. She’s cold but not alone I am also here. Feels like I can’t give any more trust or love. Almost gone in a world of no hope. I only love what I can, although my heart won’t give up, my other half won’t allow to much more…

Holocaust and Africa

Holocaust and Africa
By: Alicia

The similarities to the holocaust are that they are just killing people for their own pleasures. They are killing the village as well. The difference is that in the Holocaust we didn’t hear about them raping the women, and in Africa they don’t use concentration camps. The way this affects us is that we have to watch and there is little to do. We can do stuff to change all this hatred and the number one thing we need to do is love and care for others but we choose not to do anything about it. It will end up haunting us in the end.

I wright this for you
It was written true
But now your gone
I’ve been through some hard times
You left me when I was written rhymes
Doin crimes
I thought we where friends
Now our time has end
I want you hear now
Ill hold you close now
I write you a love song
It wont be long
It wont be great
Can we go on a date?
Do you notice me anymore
I watched you walk out the door
You didn’t even turn your head
I want to be dead
Please give me another shot
I wont mess it up

Thankx

Confession

CONFESSION

Feelings multiplying, hard times is what I’m denying.
Very few times do I feel like crying.
No use justifying his crime.

Based on the 4th amendment
Consequences never ending.
I swear I pleaded the 5th
Now the judge is giving the hit.


What about the people?
Don’t he get a witness?
Now that I’ve confessed
They can’t put him with the best
Based on the 8th.

Final mark ends on the date.
Sentence no longer up for the take
This second chance is what we make.

Because of all our lying
time is lost with out finding.
seems like I’m always crying
no use defending a guilty crime.

Although deep down in side
To my very last dime,

I believe in his innocence!

Loyalty and Betrayal

Loyalty and Betrayal
By: Alicia

To be loyal means to be true to not only yourself but others as well Being loyal means knowing who you are deep inside your heart. I am loyal to my family, friends, and to my school. I don’t believe betrayal is ever necessary. Betrayal can hurt somebody very badly. Betrayal causes pain and torture.

I'm Sorry

I’m sorry

Im sorry that we cant see eye to eye
Im sorry for the way I made you cry
Im sorry I only make enough to get by
Im sorry you feel this way
But all I half to say

If I had the money, the brains
To stop you from tha pain
Seeing you cry drives me insane
But im the only one to blame

Im sorry for the way I am
Im sorry that I give a damn
Im sorry I live without a plan
Im sorry im your biggest fan
Im sorry im not the best man
But this is the way I am

Im sorry your not hear any more
Im sorry you’re the only girl that I adore
Im sorry im sorry for the fact that I cant ignore
Im sorry

I am affecting all around me
Im just a kid trying to have fun
Please say im sorry to my son
He is my only one


Im sorry for all the wrong things I have done
Im sorry I have been locked up a ton
It’s been a year since I seen you last
I m sorry I bring up the past

Im sorry you are the victim of the crime
Im sorry I haven't called you in a long time
I must have been blind


I love you and I want you back
Ill stop acting wack
We will throw all this crap in the back
And start over again
I promise I wont get back in the pen

Unconquerable Soul

Jesus
An unconquerable soul is a strong soul. To be strong it’s to take all the pain that comes. If your soul is not strong then it will bring you down all the time

Friends

Friends
By: Alicia


What is friendship? That is the question that is most frequently asked. Well friendship should be about trust and loyalty. They should have caring and forgiving. There will be the usual ups and downs, but you should learn to talk thru problems. Friendship should be about loving and not hating. Friends should be together forever and for always, they shouldn’t just leave your side when you need them most. Friends know when to help and when to disagree. True friends know how your feeling and what kind of day your having just by the way you walk and the way you talk. Friends are the only family you can choose so choose wisely.

Free from Everything!

Free from everything!

Do you ever feel like giving up?
Almost to the point of ending it all,
Seems like every time I try to stand I fall.

Never seems fair, I’m always having to share what I’ve earned.
Taking care of issues that aren’t mine.
Wanting things that really aren’t too much to ask for.

I remember to believe in me.
Why do you hate me.
There’s more to it then what there seems to be.
We all want to be free.

Free from all authority,
Free from loss of energy,
Free from all illegal things,
Most of all free from any one who is not down with the peace.

My Dad

MY DAD
He is the most honest man I know in this world. He is honest with every one; he is very smart and very hard worker. He loves his family and I know that he would do anything to make his family happy, I know he would do anything to make me happy. He is very nice and welcoming to everyone he meets. I love my dad.

Threw the motions

Alicia

Going threw the motions means doing just enough to get by.
Well during school I do just enough to get good grades and to the credits to graduate. I take the test and do only _ of the assignments.
Threw life I do what is expected of me so that I can get threw life happily.

My Boy Shredder

My boy Shredder


There you were doin nuffin
You were always askin questions,
While everybody else was guessin.
Rollin with a bullet proof vest and,
Strapped with a smith and wession.
You were never stressing,
Always down to ride.
You always bucked back,
Screamin screw that.
We stayed dirty like raw hide.
We never justified our criminal intentions,
As we were hauled off to detention.
We never took time to sit back,
And pay attention.
We just watched the world fly by,
Singing the prisioners lullaby.
“Forget about peace,
All the time till the day we die.
And when its my time to fly,
Im takin everthing I can,
Snatchin them so fast I wont
Have any time to say good bye.”

For You

For you
I write this song for you to not get me wrong
But I think of you all the time
I can’t get you out of my mind
Frustration is all that I feel
I miss you but not just for the appeal
I miss you and I want you back
I promise Ill stop whateva it got us apart
I mean all this; it comes right from the heart.

Whatever happened in the past
I’ll change it in every way
I’ll change it by what I do and what I say

I’ve loved, you almost all my life
Some day ill promise you my wife that
Some day I will give you a brand new life

I know that I have done wrong but please forgive me
and forget about this song
I write it to let you know how much I love you
And please don’t forget how much I done for you
But if you do it wont be another sleepless night
when I toss and turn in fright

I love you
and I am glad that you were hear
I’ve learned one thing and that is from you my dear
That now your hear I cannot live in fear
I’ve got just one thing to say.


Please stay

Me

What I like about me is …. that I don’t give up on myself and I keep trying till I achieve it. Someone once told me that there is no such thing as “I can’t achieve it”, but I’m trying.
When I was told that it changed my mind on things, I wanted to keep going on in achieving my goals.

The Stray Dog

The stray dog.

Mixed in with the crowd I was a lost dog from the pound. Who badly needed to be found, cause my mamma raised me to be street smart. Told me no matter what from the bottom of her heart that when in need knowing the streets is all I would need to survive. Then came my pap’s who told me he loved me. Seemed I only seen him once a year until I was old eough to drink beer. I lived in fear, not a loud to shade one single tear. Or else I’d get beat by a bum of a dad. Who had no love for me or my baby sister. If only he’d a wake from his drunk’n stuper.try’n to make some moey sealing to all my homies. Feeding the pain with weed. To scared to slam the hard stuff. Seen what it is capable of. Lost my mom’s at 18 to aq herion over douce. Now all the cops are lookin to bust the only trust my family seems to have. Figured out I can’t do this alone. It gets to cold and gold don’t come sheep. I need some meat, my baby sis gots to eat. You call me up a cusin me of cheating on you when I couldn’t show up. When really I was scared to death of leaving my sister home alone with the dirty bastered. If only you knew. Then you could see how much love you.i really just don’t want what happen to them to happen to me and you.

Family

Family is supposed to be the people who are there for you
People who don’t leave your side.
Family should care for and love you
Thru the ups and downs.
Families are supposed to be together
And not fight or hate each other.
They should make you feel equal,
But not have favorites.
Your family should be your life
Not your worst enemies.

Fear

FEAR
By: Alicia

Fears are like scary dreams everyone has them.
Well I had a fear –
My fear was darkness.
I couldn’t sleep
I couldn’t live my life the way I wanted to.
Well one day it was time to get over that fear.
All I had to do was set goals and work.
Fears can haunt you they can torment you
But they can’t live your life for you.
I am now still working on my fear
I know one day I will be free.

Mario

My memories of you seem like yesterday
We hung out almost every single day
I still remember the last game me played
I remember me saying “I got your back main”
And believe me I’ll never forget that kay
I would do anything to bring you back
I wish I could turn the hands of time back
But im not in charge of that
You have no idea how much we miss you
All the hard times we’ve been through
After the smoke cleared you were still cool
My memories of you will never fade
Rest in peace man you forever in my heart
Even past the end of my days…

Do you ever just hate this school so you say things that you just don’t mean?

Do you ever just hate this school so you say things that you just don’t mean?

I had one of those days, so listen up, here I go,

There’s no respect,
What’s this school reflecting upon,
Every thing that’s wrong?
All these kid’s seem to only be
Interested in hitting the bong.
This school year seems so long.
I’m almost to far gone.
I haven’t even had any fun.
Oh, look some ones got a gun!
Why couldn’t I just have been a bum!

The wind blows the snow like a needle piercing the skin
My skin is as dry as a crocodile chin
Eyes watering like the Niagara Falls
Fingers crippled like an old man
I can’t fell my thoughts running through my head
I didn’t quite hear the words you said
At this time I’d rather be dead
I would like to go into the warmth and get out of this bitter cold
But my body has gotten weary and old
As the time has gone by people have come
And my heart keeps beating as a drum
But one day they will go and I will dye slow and a painful death
While dyeing alone I will make it known that I once was as young and as
Diligent as you
But now I die alone.

Freedom

Freedom

Freedom doesn’t have a choice except to love everybody. Freedom isn’t free. Freedom is a friend to every stranger. Freedom is sweet, very sweet. Freedom in some cases can be deadly. Some folks lose there freedom and start to contemplate suicide. They turn to find freedom and happiness in a different dimension, a different dimension such as an after life, which many people believe. From this example I think the human can be severely stressed, and may need another way to overcome their problems they can’t work out themselves. That’s why we may have been prepared with a brain. This is just my opinion and thoughts. We were prepared with a brain so we can escape the troublesome real world, escape to a different dimension. For me I have a secret place inside my head. Some people say that, changes my perspective, but my secret place holds truths and real things. I personally think that freedom is more a mental state. Freedom is nowhere except in our minds….a mind state. We as humans just need to learn how to control our freedoms, to learn how to restrain. Freedom is not Free.

Why I Live

WHY I LIVE

I want to stay sober!

I’ve been through a lot in my life. There has been nothing but hard times making some thing small into a bigger a problem. My family never really taught me any other way to live then getting high and living on the streets.
I know that there is a lot of drug use in this world that I will just have to accept. I live ever day of my life trying to take another well worth 24. My drug of choice just ain’t some thing that I can shake off, I know that a lot of people think weed ain’t a gate way drug, but for me I don’t when to quit.
I’m fighting for more success to progress with my full potential and achieve in all my dreams. I’ve found more happiness then I ever felt before, don’t get me wrong there were a lot of good times, but to me it ain’t worth all the pain.

Pillars of Education

Alicia

Honor – Someone that is honest and true.
Excellence – Very smart & perfect
Discipline – Very good behavior
Tradition – Something that is passed on through family by generations

I think that excellence is the most important because that is what people expect me to be so I think that I need to be excellent to make people happy with me.

UNTITLED
Kristell

Sometimes I wonder did you really care or if you thought of me when I wasn’t there.
Sometimes I wonder did your thoughts ever say or think my name,
Or if I was invisible from the start.
Did you enjoy that hour of breaking my heart
Or did you regret it in the end?
Did you once ever think of others feelings
Or did you ignore it all?
Do you realize how sick I am of dealing with all this pain,
Or did you enjoy causing it all?

Mystery Phase

MYSTERY PHASE

Lost in his gaze,
I’m in some kinda maze.
Every time we blaze,
My mind is in some kinda haze.
I’m just try’n to face,
This wonderful phase.
Based on reality,
Figuring out his mentality.


Lost in his eyes,
Now I’m wounder’n why.
Wish he hadn’t made me cry,
Lie’n and play’n like every things fine.
No use try’n your only dine’n,
The feelings I’m hid’n.

Mystery phase,
Time to blaze,
Somk’n up the haze!
The cops are out for the taze,
Spread me in the face with maze.
Now I got no case.
Every thing is based on faith.

Locked up,
Knocked out,
Forgot all about,
Shame comes no doubt.
Dirty game never misses a count!

Lost in his gaze,
I’m in some kinda maze.
Every time we blaze,
My mind is in some kinda haze.
I’m just try’n to face,
This wonderful phase.
Based on reality,
Figuring out his mentality.

Reminess’n on all the times I shouldn’t of been a miss’n!
Kiss’n your face,
Remembering the way you taste,
Hearing your voice,
Now I have no choice.

Lost in his gaze,
I’m in some kinda maze.
Every time we blaze,
My mind is in some kinda haze.
I’m just try’n to face,
This wonderful phase.
Based on reality,

Lost in his eyes,
Now I’m wounder’n why.
Wish he hadn’t made me cry,
Lie’n and play’n like every things fine.
No use try’n your only dine’n,
The feelings I’m hid’n.

Find’n no damn time,
Watch’n him walk by,
For the last time,
Knowing all his crime,
Having nothing but a dime.
Promise me your always going to be mine!

Cause baby I’m scared and that an’t fine!

Money

Money, Mind, and Wars

The birds in the trees don’t sound the same.
I hide from the breeze, else I go insane.
This world is cold so I gotta go home.
Who the hell am I gonna blame,
When I find gold, and im all alone.
See money doesn’t spend the same.
When you’re alone in this world,
Currency doesn’t bring fame,
But makes your mind twirl.
Greediness brings loneliness and shame,
If you’re a puppet to colored paper.
When you’re stuck in this corrupted Dome,
Money is worthless, when life is all gone.

Broken Promise

BROKEN PROMISE
By: Alicia

I promised myself that I would never fall in love with you again,
Because of all the pain you caused me.

I promised myself that I would hate you for all eternity,
But every time I see you I’m not as tough as I want to be

I fall back into being weak and naïve.

I don’t know what it is about you,
But so far you’re the only one that can change me

The pain and broken heart inside of me is all because of you.

I promised myself that I would never shed a tear for you,
I lied because I keep coming back to you.

I promised to never get in too deep
And look at me now beggin you to come back to me.
