Found

- by Ronni Merriweather 59

I know I'm smiling but don't take it as for what it seems
'Cause the only time I'm happy is when I'm in my dreams
'Cause my life is that lonely kid cast out in the shadows
Full of tears, frowns, and many lost battles

Down in a black hole trying to escape depression
But you can't run away from what will always be your reflection
And as you run away reality is getting nearer
And instead of changing you, you try to change the mirror
But what do you do when the mirror falls down?
Breaking apart as it hits the ground

And now you have nothing to hide behind
And now you need the courage you have yet to find
Because fear and sorrow are just emotions that play tricks on your mind
Trying to prevent you from making your life and dreams intertwine
But instead of giving in you try to break out
Rebuilding the happiness that fear and sorrow take out

Because the obstacles you have aren't important it's about how you handle it
Because fear can only be as bad as you imagine it
And sorrow comes with tears just as gray clouds come with rain
And then it will pass quicker than it came
So just be proud you didn't cut yourself with the mirror's glass
And just know that the worst already passed

But if you look in a mirror again, look with open eyes
So if you don't like the out, you can take a look inside.

Did you know

- by Breonna 58

A young girl born and put in this place
With a warm and distinctive look on her face
As she got older she was not like the rest
She was kind of different and her mother knew best
Though her eyes may despise you for who she is
Her heart shines like the sun
And she knows that on this earth there is more that could be done
Her achievements and ambition make the stars dance
But if some people would listen and give her a chance
To what she has to say, as she's being critiqued
You just might find out that she's simply unique
Did you know she's the person you pass on the street
Get to know her
She just may be the greatest person you ever did meet
