Misunderstood

January 19th, 2005

You never know when it’s going to happen
But when it does you have no idea what to do
You’re falling down the steps of pain
Though you don’t even have a clue

Oh why did this happen to you
The thought keeps running through your head
Thinking this might be a dream
Yet you aren’t waking up in your bed

Your friends are the ones by your side
When you are ready to talk
But thinking they might turn on you
You’d rather take a walk

Hoping it’ll get better
Misty skies fill the air
Screaming at the top of your lungs
Wishing things would be fair

Turning on life itself will not do you any good
Everyone thinks you’re just misunderstood
Feelings as deep as hell itself
And though you’re falling you aren’t reaching for help

Can You Hear Me

January 4th, 2005

Don’t turn away
To look back again
Don’t say goodbye
Then act like nothing happened
Don’t break my heart
Stay apart
Then return to say hello

[Chorus:]
Hello, hello
Can you hear me now
It hurts me to be apart
I’m walking away
But it’s breaking my heart
Hello, hello
Can you hear me wow
Hello, hello
My heart’s screaming now

It breaks my heart
When you talk to me
So I try to stay apart
And you still can’t see
The pain you caused me
Can you hear me

[Chorus:]
Hello, hello
Can you hear me now
It hurts me to be apart
I’m walking away
But it’s breaking my heart
Hello, hello
Can you hear me wow
Hello, hello
My heart’s screaming now

My life disappears
Bit by bit
Everyday I’m throwing
Some sorta fit
You passed through my life
At the blink of my eyes
And once I opened them
What a surprise

You were gone

[Chorus:]
Hello, hello
Can you hear me now
It hurts me to be apart
I’m walking away
But it’s breaking my heart
Hello, hello
Can you hear me wow
Hello, hello
My heart’s screaming now

Note: I’m back! I wanted to say thank you to all of my readers, I didn’t make any posts in January but I continued to get traffic every single day:

I needed a break to figure out what I wanted to post next. I realized I only had 11 posts for 2005?! I discovered I have two full notebooks and countless loose leaf pages of writing for that year. Most of it is juvenile teenage angst, which is likely why I skipped it years ago. However, it was all a part of my journey as an author, so here’s age 12-13 for me!

Rest In Peace

August 15th, 2025

I don’t understand what love means
If not in sickness and in health
I spent years prioritizing you
And your needs above myself
But what is love if not the person
You can count on when you’re in distress
But you told me you were busy
And I could handle it myself
Your game was more important
Because it had just been released
As I called from blocks away
Wondering if I needed the police
And I couldn’t get past that moment
I was rear ended running an errand for you
Years later I find out that you’re gone forever
These moments neither of us can go back to
