Mistreated,marbled~Red, white, and blue~Stripped, gutted~Packaged and consumed~Tender, raw~No longer new~Thrown away~Recycled,used~Words~I don't fully understand~Repressed~Angry~F#$*!^ and dammed~Musty,dark~The damp inside me~This can not be true~RUN~RUN~Just like I always do~ Written By: Jessica Layne

Fill my cup~And let it fall~Nothing here~Is mine at all~Who I am~Is here and now~Stronger,better, but not as proud~I've done my best~To live with heart~To be honest~To be true~And for a while~I was everything~But smart~When it came to loving you~Somewhat of dreamer~ I guess~To think I could encompass the world with such small hands~Still its good to be home~Protected~On familiar lands~I can't say I don't think about you~I probably always will~I see you in the little things~like flowers on my windowsill~To think that I could cause such hurt~To be the root of  terrible pain~Leaves me feeling blackened, tarnished~I am ashamed~No one needs to know~No one needs to understand~But you do~The places I've been~The designs we planned~I've buried them all ~And tucked my heart away~I keep my back to you~With everything and nothing at all to say~Seemingly cruel~All that we've amounted to~Fill my cup~And let it fall~Nothing here~Is mine at all~Who I am~Is here and now~Stronger,better, but not as proud.~ Written By:  Jessica Layne

I wanted to make you happy~I wanted to make you smile~I wanted to make you love me~If only for a while~I wanted to make right~What had all gone wrong~I wanted to believe~We were stronger than strong~Choosing to stay~Meant watching you go~To let the spinning stop~And our world slow~Full of fire~Full of fight~You waged your war on me~While losing sight~Of all that was good~Of all that was real ~Of the one that you loved~And the heart you conceal~Is it easy for you~To give in to the nothing~Asking me to try~To just not feel something~Gone~Gone~Wearing your disguise~Leaving me here~Seeking truth~While chasing lies. ~Written By:  Jessica Layne
