WHY DON'T U WANT ME?
WHY CANT YOU LOVE ME?
WHEN I WAS BORN...U NEVER HELD ME
DIDN'T CARE ENOUGH...TO TOUCH ME
I WAS NOT WORTHY OF A FRACTION OF YOUR LOVE
YOU HATED ME, MY BEING, MY SOUL & MY INNOCENCE
YOU RUN AWAY AND LEFT ME
TO ENDURE THE HARDSHIPS OF LIFE
ALONE
A WORLD I HAD NEVER BEEN IN
YOU QUIT ME WITHOUT TRYING

AS I GREW DAY BY DAY
I TRIED TO FIND YOU
I TRIED TO MAKE YOU LOVE ME
WANT ME
PLEASEEEE
I BEGGED
DAY AFTER DAY
& MOM JUST COULDN'T UNDERSTAND
WHY I WANTED YOU TO
AND NEITHER COULD I UNDERSTAND HER COLDNESS
FIGHTING
SCREAMING
FOR YOUR ATTENTION

AT 8 YOU SEEPED BACK INTO OUR LIVES
TOOK ME PLACES, HELD ME CLOSE
AND THERE WAS NOTHING I HAD EXCHANGE FOR THOSE TIMES
SOMEONE I COULD CALL DADDY
AT TEN YOU LEFT AGAIN
LEFT ME IN THE RAIN
TO FIGHT
FIGHT FOR ME
AND FIGHT FOR HER
MADE ME A WOMAN WHEN I WASN'T EVEN READY
WHILE KIDS MY AGE PLAYED AT THE PARK WITH THEIR DADS
THERE I WAS AT HOME
ALONE

I SAID I HATE YOU
I CAN NEVER LOVE YOU NOW
YOU ARE DEAD TO ME
WHY ARE YOU BACK NOW??
NOW THAT I DON'T NEED YOU
NOW THAT I WANT YOU
NOW THAT AM ALREADY A GROWN WOMAN
NOW THAT I DON'T WANT TO BE AT THE PARK
OR DO HOMEWORK TOGETHER\
OR HAVE YOU CARRY ME ON YOUR SHOULDERS
NOW THAT I CAN AFFORD MY OWN ICECREAM

NO MORE CRYING
AM OUT OF TEARS
YOU STOOD THERE AND WATCHED US FALL
YOU GAVE NOTHING, NOT EVEN A PHONE CALL
AM NOT THAT KID ANYMORE
THAT KID WHO LOVED YOU SO MUCH
I HAD RISK AT ALL FOR YOU TO LOVE ME
I DON'T NEED YOUR LOVE
I DON'T WANT YOU LOVE
AM LETTING GO OF THE HATE
BUT AM NOT LOVING YOU EITHER
YOU ARE NOT MY FATHER!
I DO NOT HAVE A FATHER!!!!

I AM...
I am the light and the guide for myself

I wonder what lies beyond human life
I hear the time ticking by...

I see the gold sand slipping from my palm
I want to taste the first rain drops

I am the light and the guide for myself.
I pretend to be excited by the bright fireworks

I feel the cool breezy wind playing with my hair

I touch the fresh cut grass under my bare feet
I worry about the world peace
I cry for the lost treasure - Nature
I am the light and the guide for myself.
I understand the need to understand others

I say that everyone should be given a chance to do something
different
I dream about flying through the clouds
I try to work harder and improve myself
I hope that one day we will overcome troubles and establish
peace!

I am the light and the guide for myself.

By Ian M. Raugh

I am the pen and the blade
I wonder the fate of my crusade
I hear the wind of the night
I see the bark, not the bite
I want to, the deserving, aid
I am the pen and the blade.
I pretend to valiantly fight
I feel my strength against plight
I touch the core but am always apart
I worry that I can not be stopped
I lament that my life may be forbade
I am the pen and the blade.
I understand that some live in a haze
I say that the honorable path I blaze
I dream of the white horseman
I try to better the worse man
I hope to be the bat leaving the cave
I am the pen and the blade.
