Insecurity
By: Michelle Lake
Now I remember
Why I was scared
This insecurity
Not knowing if you care
I was alone
Then I met you
Now I’ve fallen for you
You’re all my dreams come true
But I don’t know how you feel
Or how long this will last
I just don’t have good luck
Things have always gone wrong
in the past
I want to be with you
Every moment of the day
But do you want me
In the same way?
Your kiss is so gentle
I know something is there
But how can I tell
If you really do care?
I don’t want to get hurt
But I’m so crazy about you
If I give you my heart
Will you give me yours too?

Dreary Day
By: Michelle lake
I woke up today
Without seeing the sun shine
Through my window as it usually does.
There was a heavy fog
Outside instead.
It’s funny
How the weather affects my mood.
I felt like staying in bed
And crying all day long.
I was depressed
Only because of the dreary weather.
Had the sun been out
I would have jumped out of bed
With a burst of energy.
But my day was ruined
By the fog.

What You Did For Me
By: Gina Hammond
I never could understand why you left me
the way you did;
You said you’d call
You promised me you would
You never did.
I should have realized the last time we
saw each other that something was
different;
The way you were acting was so cold
You didn’t let your emotions out until I
was ready to leave.
You knew than it would be our last kiss
The last time we would see each other
I was so blind not to see it.
When you didn’t call or visit I thought
you were being selfish;
Thinking only of yourself
Wanting only your freedom so you could
see other people.
I know now I was wrong
I finally realize what the truth was
You weren’t being selfish at all
It was nothing of the sort.
You were doing what was best for me.
You knew I had high standards
High dreams for my future
You would only hold me down.
You knew I would never be happy with
that
How could I after dreaming big for so
long.
You knew I would do better on my own
Find someone who could give me a little
bit more of what I wanted and needed.
You set me free out of love
Not hate or anger
It was your love for me which made me
I should never settle for second best,
Especially when I never expect anyone
else to.
And for this I will always hold you in my
heart.
Frozen Mountain
Wind whips through
Muli-colored trees,
Your frost-covered flanks.
I was bom in Hell
And your chilly breath
Pleases the warmth of my soul.
