I wipe the tears from my eyes/as you watch me cry/you've done this to me/you've killed me inside

you've burned through me/like a bullet to the brain/you've slowly torn me apart/and then you just turned and walked away

left me in the cold/icy as my heart/if it means to be just like you/I'd rather solemnly depart

I'll be far away/where I can be free/soar on the wings of an angel/where your no where to be seen

if words mean nothing/then tell me what does/if sticks and stones can break my bones/then words can break my heart

they say the eyes are the windows to the soul
when you look into them do you see my secrets told?
or do you see what everyone else does?
don't say yes just because..

yeah when you look at me
you see me
but do you really see me?
do you see all the pain
do you see the struggles
do you see what I see on a daily
or do you see plainly?
can you sense what affects me day after day
and if you do, why do you stay?

Don't toy with my love
because I've hurt too much before
I think you may be different
but I just wanna know for sure.

my heart is open as a book

sometimes I stop and stare
look at the person I've become
the person I once was
gone with each rising of the sun
am I who I've always longed to be
who I needed all along
the one to keep my heart from falling
the one who's mind is strong
if it keeps me safe
does it mean I should hurt those close to me
should everything I do
stop me from falling dangerously
so high up in the clouds
dont feel like coming down
to face the truth I am
and who no longer is around
the person that I am
wont allow me to cry
the person that I've become
feels completely empty inside

When you look at me
What do you see?
What do you feel
Am I real?
Do you desire what you cant have
or do you want what lays in the palm of your hand?
Am I worthy?
What do you expect?
Am I good enough?
Is what meets the eye my deepest depth?
Yes I am a woman
Does that not make me strong?
Or is my label of weakness
completely wrong?
Am I an object?
So easily dispensed
or am I a treasure
Met with no expense?
Do you love me?
Do you respect me?
Did I change the way you think?
Or Will I be another, gone within a blink
Life's many questions
Met with no remark

look around and I see the world dying

See countless mothers crying

Watching wars wage

In this "new" age

we dont care about killing thousands in war

Yet cry for years when a storm hits our shores

I sit here and think of what we all have become

Wanting to leave with no safe place to run

Watching the rich steal from the poor

And still wanting more

Knowing those with power are those most corrupt

Then seeing them turn to blame it on us

Babys being killed because their mothers made mistakes

Drugs being taken as if it was a game

OMG! You made it! You know you've got to be something special if your on MY page. About me? I'm Yazmin Ariana [blank]. Hellllo you should know that. I crawled out my momma's coochie on January 26th 16 wonderful years ago. Who wouldn't celebrate coming out of there every year? I have 2 younger bro's who are just about as awesome as me, not quite though. That amount of greatness has yet to be reached by anyone other than Yaz. Greatness really does come in small packages. A 5'3 package to be exact. You got a problem with midgets?
