  By Elyse Cunningham

  Life

  Life is like a roll-a-coaster

  One minute you’re happy

  The next you're mad

  Life, I wonder why it's like that

  But we will never know

  I wish life wasn't a roll-a-coaster

  At time it's a one-way ticket to heaven or hell

  Life 2: What's the point?

  I walk in a world of faces

  Some familiar, some are not

  Life has much happiness or sadness

  Life what's the point of it all?

  I wonder everyone has

  Everyone wishes for peace

  That would be nice but I wish for love

  12-19-03

  Faces

  The face I wear is nothing but an act

  The face of happiness is the mask

  All it is but an act

  The way I feel is suppressed within

  People say, "I'm happy"

  But truly inside I'm not

  Voices

  The voices you hear every day are friends and family

  You speak but no one listens

  Change we all need

  Voices and places

  Voices and time will change

  And you'll be heard

  4-7-04

  Change

  Change, it needs to happen

  Change, it a reverse without time

  Change will come

  Change in life and friends

  Change it will happen to you and me

  Change will happen for better or for worst

  Change its here…

  Friends Divide

  I woke up yesterday to a beautiful sky

  People through the day would be at play

  I woke up this morning to an ugly sky

  One wants answers, the other not caving in

  I woke up this morning to an empty sky

  My friends divided

  Strangers

  We all used to be friends

  Now were all strangers

  Cause of a stupid thing

  Were all strangers?

  The sky become gray

  Strangers that's what we are

  Destiny

  It chooses a role for everyone

  Silence

  Silence, why do I hear nothing

  Silence, why is it so quiet

  Silence, why do you haunt

  Silence, what wrong with me?

  Silence, what's wrong

  Silence, is anyone out there

  Silence is out of here

  Happiness is the solution to peace

  Happiness can be found in everything you do

  Life 4: Love

  Life and love are the same

  Like water, they flow down the same path.

  Life is something to live for and goes the same for love.

  Life and love is like water, they flow down the same path.

  Goddess

  There was a person I knew

  She thought she was a goddess, I thought so too

  The person had grace, spirit, style, and charm

  Then one-day goddess said to me

  “I’m sad, I need love and guidance”

  Then I told goddess, I'd be there no matter what

  Life 5: Boys and Girls

  Life 6: Kids are like flowers

  Kids are like flowers; you are there to care for them

  And grow them into the young beautiful adults

  That they can be, kids are like flowers they grow fast

  Don’t blink or be mean to your kids if you do

  They’ll be adults and writing or whatever their dream is.

  Sands of Time

  I visited the Sands of Time

  The place is so magical, so beautiful,

  So calm, I could stay all day

  I visited the Sands of Time

  The place of beauty and magic

  I visited The Sands of Time

  The place grant wishes to what the heart desirers

  If you make a picture in the Sands of Time, the wish will come true,

  I drew a picture in the Sands of Time then I left to come back for another day

  I visited the Sands of Time

  I came back to this beautiful land and I said to me “what they say is true”

  I visited the Sands of Time

  And I left the place of beauty, happiness and love

  The Wanderer

  I saw a man at the bar; we talked,

  After a while I asked what his name was

  The man said, “Call me The Wanderer”

  “The Wanderer, what a funny name” I said

  We laughed and talked, and then it was time for us to go

  The next day I went back and the man was gone

  Then on the seat next to me where The Wanderer sat

  There was a note for me saying “we will meet again” signed The Wanderer

  Hidden Love

  I knew a guy, we were great friends

  I had secret feeling for him a hidden love

  Everyone around assumed we were in love,

  But we just had a hidden love, a few years

  Passed I was on my own and having a great life

  I may have been having the greatest time of my life,

  But I still thought of my friend and the hidden love that was there

  I was walking around the college, as I was walking I ran into my old friend

  My friend didn’t recognize me until I said his name,

  He was shocked but then he knew me right away and,

  The hidden love wasn’t hidden anymore and we fell in love.

  Endless Love

  I walk through the halls

  It was endless love

  Friends said it would never last

  It was endless love

  Every time I was with him, I thought life was like a movie

  It was endless love

  Teachers said don’t date him, I asked why

  They said he was bad and destroys lives,

  I laughed and said no he would never do that

  It was endless love

  I was at home and so was my “boyfriend”, he said, “let’s go upstairs”, I said no

  It was endless love

  Then he said well let’s stay here

  It was endless love

  Inner Peace and Love

  Life is complicated but,

  What we need is inner peace,

  With ourselves and one another,

  Inner peace is what everyone looks for,

  Before we can make peace with one another,

  And end all wars is we need to find inner peace,

  In ourselves to stop the hating, we need to try to find this,

  Inner peace and start loving ourselves, Inner peace and love,

  Is the key to happiness and ending all wars?

  Friends

  Friends are great, friends are cool,

  Friends are there to cheer you on,

  Friends are there when you're down,

  Friends make you laugh,

  Friends make you happy,

  Friends hang with at the mall,

  Friends help you when you need help,

  Friends are always there when you need them

  Serenade of Love

  I always thought loneliness was my prisoner

  That was until I saw you

  You were strong smart and brave

  I hold you close to my heart and hope one day we'll meet again

  I still can hear your voice whispering sweet words and

  The serenade of love

  I can still picture you and

  I remember the first time we kissed

  It was warm and it sang our serenade of love

  Our love still strong and

  My heart still sings the serenade of love

  Chaos

  I walk in a world of endless pain, but it's a pain I only know and can feel

  This pain has always been with me; it's been controlled over time

  But now it cannot I've been having thoughts of ending and more

  This pain of chaos has been getting worse by the minute, I pray that someone will hear me and be with me when I can't take it anymore, the pain has been growing and I need help, I can help others very easily but no one will help me

  I call out and say I need help please stay with me and listen

  I can't take the pain anymore; if some people would just care enough to help me and show me the right path... will you be there for me?

  From Heaven to Hell

  I am an angel that has broken wings and has been condemned by god

  I've been sent to hell

  I have been stripped of everything and condemned from heaven

  I am an angel that has done everything to stay happy and free condemnation

  I was in heaven now I have been sentenced to hell

  Has this always been my fate, away from the ones I would love to call friends?

  All I've felt is pain and suffering

  I have to hide the pain from the ones I would love

  I have to stay away from the ones that want to help and want to stop the pain

  I am an angel that has broken wings and has been condemned by god

  Serene Light

  Darkness to Light, we have a special bond

  Tonight, we'll conquer the darkness and light shin

  Our way, darkness will become day and it will

  Be a day we will remember, with our love and

  Strength we will conquer the shadows and fears of men

  The Serene Light will be the justice and hope for us all
