04/08/01(Not Done) “Today is the day, I will pull through, pick up all my problems and get out of the blue, start a new life where I can be free make the right choices and be the real me.” July 28, 2001 “I promised it will get better” they always say. But when? when will all this pain go away? They say that, they are there for me, and I’m not alone. > But I’m the one going through all this griefs on my own > Family and friends are important that’s true. > But they don’t know what it’s like to be you." |

I feel as if I’m in a maze All I see is a blurry haze The walls of life are caving in But should I commit that crazy sin My heart is tearing me inside I’m contemplating suicide These feelings are driving me insane I can’t go on to hide this pain There is no way that this could be I can’t believe this is happening to me I can’t control the thoughts I think Into myself my heart will sink But who can I trust, who can I tell My mind spins like a carousel I can’t think straight or even see clear No one knows the load I bear I’m confused and feel so lost I’ll rid this pain at any cost So many people have crushed my heart Where do I turn, where can I start I feel locked up and tied in chains, No one could know what thoughts I retain But you came out and gave your hand Because of your love I understand You helped my pain to heal and mend You’re the first that I call friend You showed me there’s a purpose for life And not to worry over little strifes You were there when I needed you You’re one of few who’s heart is true You’ll never know what you mean to me You opened my eyes and helped me to see You showed that there is someone who cares Now with you my life I share I’m still here because you were there Stan Collins ‘98 |

Undercover Emotional SpyWhen you see me, what do you see?Do you know if that's really me? Can you see past that smile of mine? Do you see the pain that won't stay behind? How about the things that go on in my mind? Can you feel the pain that I feel all of the time? --Well whatever you see, it's not really me, I wear a disguise; I'm an emotional spy. Under the cover I'm drowning in lies. The one person that keeps me alive, I won't meet until I die. He's there when I'm crying, and He's crying too, He only wants the best for me and for you. So now I give my soul to He who will always carry me And stay by my side throughout all of eternity. From His strength and His will He will heal all that is ill And I know not to fear Cause He'll always be there. Sean Evans |
