For You.

This is for you.
This is for the broken hearted. The broken spirited. Who don't know what
to do with their lives anymore. This is for the guy who works three jobs. Both
day and night. For the dad who works his butt off and still can't pay for Christmas.

Keep Going.

This is for the girl that is hopelessly in love with the popular kid. Even though she
knows she will never get him. This is for the kid who wants to move out and move on.
And never look back. This is for the 24 year old that is still VL and fine with it. For the
girl that moved her senior year, and can't make friends.

Keep Going.

This is for the kids that go unnoticed. This is for the husband who spends all of his time
trying to make his wife happy, but nothing seems to work. This is for the people that
want to give up, but still keep pushing. This is for the little girl that grew up believing
in fairy tales, and no matter how many times she is broken, she will not give up on
the dream of 'one day'.
 
Keep Going.

This is for the geniuses that no one seems to understand.  This is for the people
that smile even though they have no reason to. This is for the people that don't
care. This is for the girl who can't find where she belongs. To the boy who never
really has been able to play sports. This is for the kid who can't get an A in school.
Who is treated like he is stupid. Even though he spends hours every day studying.

This is for you.
This is the hope.
The hope that one day things will change.
But no matter what. No matter where life takes you.
Keep going.

I Keep Forgetting.

I keep forgetting to clean my room.

No matter how many times I am told.

It is much like doing my homework, or anything else I don't feel like doing. I avoid it.

But I will get it done sometime. On my own terms. 

Although it has never happened before.

I continue hoping one day it will. One day I will have enough time to do everything I don't want to do. 

After I do everything I want to of course.

I am sick of being bossed around to do something that is not important to me.

When will I be able to make my own decisions?

When will I own myself?

Maybe when I turn eighteen. Or move away to college. But who knows.

I am sorry I cannot be perfect. I am sorry I continually procrastinate. And never get good enough grades because I do not try hard enough.

One day, I will get it all done. One day I will clean my room. But not today, I am sorry.

I will ignore the askings once again. And it will stay a mess.

Because that is the way I like it.

And I am sorry, but tonight is not the last time you will see the light. On past two in the morning.

Because I like being up that early. Doing things I should have done earlier.

Tangled.

Stuck.

Lucy's life was boring. It wasn't that nothing happened. Because it did.

She woke up every day at 6. She went to school every day at 7.

She did her homework after school every day until 6.

She had dinner after homework, watched t.v. for a few hours, then went to bed.

Life repeated the next day. Always the same. It wasn't horrible.

But it never changed. It was stuck. In a cycle that couldn't be broken.

Sure, she could skip doing her homework, but what would that do?

Give her bad grades? She could miss school. Which would also ruin her grades.

Lucy wasn't really known at school. She was quiet.

Even though she had so much to say, she wasn't known as the type that would speak out.

And she found out soon enough that you can't really change a reputation.

Especially after being stuck in the same place for your whole life.

She didn't play sports. She was good at them, she just wasn't known as the type that would.

But everything changed that one day in October.

Lucy was told by her parents that they were moving.

Far away from the place she had lived her whole entire life.

Questions:
Will Lucy become someone different?
What will moving do to her?
Does Lucy have anything to lose?

Blurbs.

Run - Snow Patrol
He and she are growing apart. And they don't want the future to happen. Things are
coming at them. Quicker than ever. But they are keeping a smile on their faces. And
going with it. Even if it means growing apart. Because they know the feelings will
never disappear.

Sympathy - The Goo Goo Dolls
John is angry. He ruined everything and wishes he could go back and fix it. He lost
himself somewhere, and can't find who he used to be. And now he is wondering why
anyone cared.Or still cares about him.

Fix You - Coldplay
Felipe will do anything for Rose. But he feels he will never be enough. No matter what,
he will continue trying. He knows he has failed many times before. She has been hurt by
many. Including him. But together they can redo it all. He can fix her.

The Little Boy.

It is not happy here.
Never has been and probably never will be.  
We don't enjoy it at all. Either of us.
But we learn to get by. We help each other.
Spending hours on end talking. Taking long car rides to nowhere.
It amazes me. I remember the days when we used to fight.
All of the time.
I hated him more than anyone.
Or at least I thought I did.  
He was the mean boy. The one that would punch and hit me.
The one that called me mean names. And knew how to make me cry.
But it changed one day.
One day, he no longer hit me. One day, he stuck up for me.
One day, he started telling me everything. And I told him everything.
One day, we became best friends.
That one day, unlike most, lasted.
It is now that little boy that used to punch me
and call me names that I want to talk to when I am sad.
It is that little boy that used to sit on me that I take for drives to talk.
It is that little boy that I trust more than anything. And always have.
It is that little boy that helps me get by. And I try to do the same for him.
It is that little, now grown up boy that I love more than anything.
Even if I never thought I would.

Finally.

Original Text:

Their instinct told them not to go into the village. They would not find help there. The villagers knew about the camp, yet nobody had come to help, except those women, once. And besides, the village was too close to the camp. They might meet a person who would send them right back there. They turned their backs and walked away, keeping close to the tall grass by the side of the road. If only they could drink something, thought the girl. She felt faint with thirst, with hunger.

They walked for a long time, pausing and hiding when they heard an occasional car, a farmer taking his cows home. Were they going in the right direction? She didn't know. But at least, she knew they were heading farther and farther away from the camp. She looked at her shoes. They were falling apart. Yet they had been her second best pair. The pair for special occasions, like birthdays and the cinema and visiting friends. She had bought them last year with her mother. It seemed so long ago. Like another life. The shoes were too small now. They pinched her toes.

Finally.

She Turned her back.

She was getting away. Finally

Where was she going?

She didn't know.

No one would come looking.

She knew that.

She was falling apart.

It seemed so long ago.

Much like another life.

She turned back.

Worried at what she might see.

It was gone now.

She was getting finally away.
Finally.
