*Just Me*
Sitting and waiting
hoping and praying
not really looking
and listening to them saying
don't ever give up
he'll come along if you wait
but I've been waiting so long
how long does it take?
there must be an odd number of people in this world
I'm the one left over
an oyster without a pearl
"R.S."


*Beauty*
They say its what's inside that counts
but they don't really care
They're the ones with perfect figures
perfect faces and perfect hair
If only they could see the world
for one day through my eyes
the days when all I want to do
is just break down and cry
yet another day when people look at you
and decide you don't fit in
when you're not skinny or beautiful
they think that it's a sin
if they saw themselves through my eyes
maybe then they'd know
it shouldn't matter what you look like
true beauty doesn't show.
"R.S."


Alone leads to thinking
Thinking to loneliness
Loneliness to depression
Depression to longing
Longing for human contact
To touch
To be touched
To be loved.
"R.S."


Loneliness is a disease
Destroying me from the inside
Until there is nothing left but a shell that used to be me
You're nobody til somebody loves you
And somebody is nowhere to be found
"R.S."
