concrete angel

She walks to school with the lunch she packed
Nobody knows what she's holdin' back
Wearin' the same dress she wore yesterday
She hides the bruises with linen and lace

The teacher wonders but she doesn't ask
It's hard to see the pain behind the mask
Bearing the burden of a secret storm
Sometimes she wishes she was never born

Through the wind and the rain
She stands hard as a stone
In a world that she can't rise above
But her dreams give her wings
And she flies to a place where she's loved
Concrete angel

Somebody cries in the middle of the night
The neighbors hear, but they turn out the lights
A fragile soul caught in the hands of fate
When morning comes it'll be too late

Through the wind and the rain
She stands hard as a stone
In a world that she can't rise above
But her dreams give her wings
And she flies to a place where she's loved
Concrete angel

A statue stands in a shaded place
An angel girl with an upturned face
A name is written on a polished rock
A broken heart that the world forgot

Through the wind and the rain
She stands hard as a stone
In a world that she can't rise above
But her dreams give her wings
And she flies to a place where she's loved
Concrete angel...

why?

why do they continue to do this? it drives everyone crazy. nothing good comes out of it. it just wastes air. it seems like everything was perfect before we came. before we become part of all of this. its like we are just in the way of their life. the one that wasn't intended to include us. can't they see this is what they supposedly tried to protect us from. can't they see this is why it happened in the first place. i guess not...

ok so i got the idea to write down some quotes from a friend ... ;)


~When it hurts to look back, and you're scared to look ahead, you can look beside you and your best friend will be there.~

~Promise you won't forget me, because if I thought you would, I'd never leave.~

~If all my friends were to jump off a bridge, I would not follow, I would be at the bottom to catch them when they fall.~

~If I had one gift that I could give you, my friend, it would be the ability to see yourself as others see you, because only then would you know how extremely special you are.~

~The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.~

~Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow. Don't walk behind me, I may not lead. Walk beside me and be my friend.~

~Everyone hears what you say. Friends listen to what you say. Best friends listen to what you don't say.~

~A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.~

~You never leave someone behind, you take a part of them with you and leave a part of yourself behind.~

~No smile is as beautiful as the one that struggles through the tears.~

~The best things in life are unseen. That's why we close our eyes when kiss, cry, and dream~

~Isn't it funny how day-by-day nothing changes, but when you look back, everything is different?~


--->my girlie added a couple xoxox<---

what do you do when you feel so invisible you cant sleep without a light on, afraid that in the dark you just might vanish entirely? simple. become someone interesting enough to be noticed.

superbowl

so superbowl sunday doesn't seem so super...i am currently drinking tea and watching the game with my dad...well actually watching my dad watching the game. its oddly quiet. today i went to church which wasn't as bad as i thought it was going to be (our director was not there) so the choir and i sounded ok. =] afterwards, well there was some stuff at home but whatever, my dad took my brother and i to the mall to give my brother a new "look" he was getting made fun of at school so i picked out all his new clothes. he looks surprisingly, good. (hell probably just froze over right there) haha just kidding but seriously ;) so the valentines day dance is this friday and my dad does NOT want to take me to go get a dress and if he doesn't well then i'm not so sure i am even going to the dance. ya know i dont think i have ever actually felt like going to a dance but i end up going anyways most of the time cuz my friends talk me into it. just a thought there. ok well i am gonna go and try to pay attention to this game. talk sometime this week =] <3
