Finding out who you are
Is continuous and never ending
It is filled with many questions
Provided with many answers
...

In the continent of North America
We speed like race cars
In the Indy 500
...

At times when things seem so distant,
Confidence disappears in an instant.
Questions begin to arise,
Questions wondering why you're alive.
...

I cannot thank you enough
For all that you have given
I can only hope to match
The love that you have given
...

It comes to me in different ways
Choosing different ways on different days
It controls me by making me mad
Often causing my spirit to be sad
...

In different ways to us it appears
But don’t be threatened by your fears
We have to use the power we own
Even if we feel alone
...

I don’t know how to share my thoughts
I don’t know how to sort my feelings
I only know that I don’t fit in
And it’s time to stop concealing
...

As frustrating as it can be
It has to be accepted as a part of me
Wherever I may want to go
It is something that will show
...

I look down at myself
So small and innocent
So responsible and mature
...

Every time I need you there
You’re always there to catch
The times that you need me
I promise to be your match
...

I find it hard to believe
In the things that I can do
I can’t imagine either
That others will see it too
...

We are soup
A bowl of leftovers
A mix of vegetables
...

I was a young girl
Whose life got put into a whirl
It started with a shocking fall
Putting my life on a confusing stall
...

In this world, we are each a tool
We learn and grow in this life that is school
Please try to remember everything you can do
It is a valuable gift owned by very few
...

Elevators.
Racing through each level,
One always leading
...

I can lend a helping hand
Whenever you're in need
I will do whatever I can
To help you to succeed
...

Harsh words can do much harm,
Building up walls of hate.
Expressed anger makes things worse,
Causing misunderstanding.
...

We are close in many ways,
We are too hard to define.
Our ways are alien to all,
But it is ours to refine.
...

Communication,
An association.

It is to speak your mind,
...

Take this symbol of my love that has begun and never ends,
While on this day we intertwine the meshes of our lives.
For these past years we have made a love with every square,
We have a quilt of past and present, threaded to endure.
