//stay*beautiful.

Is there ever a time in your life where you just wanna run away...hide from the world?...................sometimes life is just too much..gaaaahhhhhhhh...right now watching what not to wear, listening to my sisters country music and comtemplating whether to work on my math homework, i'd love nothing more than to just curl up into a ball and sleep..simply just to make life go by faster...for some reason overwhelmed by the sudden change in pace..oh highschool

The Beautiful Breakdown

Stepping out so slowly
From the way things used to be
Hiding in the shadows
Scared of what they'll do or see

Crying out inside her
Trying so hard to be strong
Breaking down these walls now
She's now learning a new song.

She's standing here alone now,
She thinks no ones at her side
But little does she know that
There's someone there to guide.

She tries to lead her own way
As she looks back at her past
She's falling so behind now
Her life flashing by so fast.

Falling to the floor now
She's breaking down the walls
The face she sees is Jesus
And it's her name that He calls.

She finally gains her strength back
As she finally lets him lead
Taking her new steps now,
Walking now she's freed.

New Beginnings

Reaching out forever
But falling to the floor,
Broken hearts and shattered dreams,
Always wanting more.

Crying out for something,
Only living in the past,
Driving out the people,
Friendships always thought to last.

Searching out the people,
Never wanting to give up,
Looking in wrong places,
Lives that always seem corrupt.

Seeking out the Faces,
Never looking up above
Drowning out the people
Trying to show you love.

People reaching out,
Trying to make you understand
Always trying to show you,
Your footprints in the sand.

You've trailed so far away, They d say,
From all your hopes and dreams,
Your life is slowing falling,
From what you'd hoped you d be.

Reaching out forever
Now falling so apart,
People always mending
Trying to fix your broken heart.

And the only one that matters
Seems so far away,
If He d only love you,
You'd have so many things to say.

Hope is all that' s left now
As all the walls have finally broke,
Crying out for joy now
As in your tears you soak

Forgiven, you are crying
Forgiven, you are freed,
Received the greatest gift of all
He' s all you' ll ever need.

You've only just Begun

You've only just begun
This battle that you face
Don't ever give up hope my dear
You've just begun the race

Trying to hard to fit
In a place you don't belong
This life is only temporary
soon enough you will be gone.

There's more to life than
the perfect grades
to the in-style clothes
Life's masquerade

Trying so hard still,
It will never be enough,
hiding all this pain,
by the walls you still build up

But the battle isn't over
They will always want some more
They'll break you into pieces
until you fall onto the floor.

And now so very low,
the faith you have in you
You always seem to measure
every thing that you do

And you're falling to the floor now
shattered like a cup
and suddenly you wonder..
who's picking you up?

And you can see His face now,
Covered wet with tears
He's picking up the pieces
and slowly draws you near.

Soon Your feet are getting stronger
and you're walking on your own
each step you take is leading----
suddenly you hear a single moan...

You don't understand now
as at His feet you lay,
He is dying on the cross now
and you have to look away.

Your burdens are what He carries,
Your shoulders now so light,
"Why?" you cry to him,
"this cannot be right!"

"I have lived to die for you,"
He answered, "to take away your fears,
I have lived to die for you,
to wipe away your tears."

And hanging there he cried with me,
and then he finally said,
"You are beautiful in my eyes child..
I died for you and bled.."

You see, He picked up all my pieces
And my sins he took away,
He bore them on his shoulders,
And died on the cross that day.

The greatest love I'll ever know,
To whom I owe my all
I know one day I'll see him,
And it's my name that He'll call.

Big Picture.

...life has this weird habit of creating twists and turns in places where you really...i mean REALLY don't want them, like what i mean is..the one thing you didn't want to happen..does..just like life is out to get you or something and there you are...standing..all alone..your life...previously going all according to your very own master plan..is suddenly an inconvenient disaster...though i like to think things are a lot more important than they really are...and i most likely read into things way more than i should...life just seems to disappoint more then just often these days...i shouldn't be complaining this is true.. i have a roof over my head don't I? I mean a lot of the times i think i just get lost in the amount of emotions and simple..way simple stresses of normal life and miss the Big picture...as of now..life is complicated..

just around the corner...

Its strange to know that in a matter of days what i know as the summer of relaxtion and the normal routine of my sleepy summer life will be suddenly forced awake as i face the alarm clock known as school..fall in all its glory brings the one thing i dread most as summer comes to a halting close. Though i am looking forward to seeing friends, home packed lunches and giggles in the hallway on the floor, i am most certainly not looking forward to the early morning choir rehersals, homework and study sessions till all hours of the night..i have to say i will miss this blessed, beautiful thing called summer...
