Verse 1: People here. People there. People everywhere. They pass me by and stare at me like they're asking why. I don't know what I did. I'm guilty for everything just from saying no. I am just a terrible person for not being what you wanted. I'm not what they expected I will never be fully accepted. I keep getting juggled around. They treat me like a clown. They kick me when I'm down. Someday I'll turn it around. They will be begging me for mercy and I won't give up without a fight.
Chorus: I stand alone everyday. People pass my way and give me a stare. It helps me know I'm there and how much they do not care. Their stare tells me I don't belong, but at least I know hoto put it into song. They give me a nervous smile and walk away as fast as they can. All I can see is people as happy as can be. Why can't they be as miserable as me? It's like they already know who they are and what they do. They always say the star that takes the longest shines the brightest. They say that I will know who I am soon. I just have to wait. My patience has ran out faster than I could catch up. I have to catch up with them. I want to be found.
Verse 2: Looking at them now. They have everything I've ever tried to get. Everything that they have is more than I will ever get. I know what it's like. I used to have everything and I lost it. I lost it all. I wanna go back, but I can't go back. I thought everything was too much, but now I can't get enough. I used to let people come in and take and take and take. There's nothing more to take. When I see them walking by. Trying to avoid as best as they can. I just don't understand how they know who they are. Who they were and who they will always be. I have to be direct because I'm the only thing they can't see. Stop saying you're here for me. Your hours are from eight to three then you completely ignore me. They are trying to bring me down, but I won't give up without a fight.
Chorus: I stand alone everyday. People pass my way and give me a stare. It helps me know I'm there and how much they do not care. Their stare tells me I don't belong, but at least I know how to put it into song. They give me a nervous smile and walk away as fast as they can. All I can see is people as happy as can be. Why can't they be as miserable as me? It's like they already know who they are and what they do. They always say the star that takes the longest shines the brightest. They say that I will know who I am soon. I just have to wait. My patience has ran out faster than I could catch up. I have to catch up with them. I want to be found.
Verse 3: Life is just an amazing thing if you're the queen or king of popularity. You control everything and you get everything you could ever want. You always win even if you should have lost. Earth is a terrible place when you're always last in the race. Everytime you win you only lose. Whenever you fall in love you're left with a bruise. They try to bruise me, but I won't give up without a fight.
Chorus: I stand alone everyday. People pass my way and give me a stare. It helps me know I'm there and how much they do not care. Their stare tells me I don't belong, but at least I know how to put it into song. They give me a nervous smile and walk away as fast as they can. All I can see is people as happy as can be. Why can't they be as miserable as me? It's like they already know who they are and what they do. They always say the star that takes the longest shines the brightest. They say that I will know who I am soon. I just have to wait. My patience has ran out faster than I could catch up. I have to catch up with them. I want to be found.

Songs I Wrote
PoetryHere are some songs I wrote. The ones that end in (Old Song) are ones I wrote when I was 14. They're not all that good, but I thought it'd be cool to have my old songs here alongside my new ones. I think it shows how much I've changed and improved...
