This Side of the Glass

I'm sitting on the outside looking in
Wondering where I belong? 
On this side of the glass 
The day seems so lonely. 

People are talking
Caught up in the dirt
Why do I always feel
Caught up in it?  It hurts ..... 

I try to think of what all of the reasons could be
Why there was a missed invitation
Was it just because,  of me? 

I'm no longer the life of the party
I'm not the loudest in the room
But I can hear my own voice whisper
my name..... and I have that to hold onto. 

But I love to love, I live to laugh
Sometimes it's all too much to take in
And tonight 
I'll pick myself up again.

I'll promise myself, I'm fine just how I am...
I'll thank God for all I am. 
And I'll try and see the beauty... 
I'll try to find the beauty.

The Elephant

The elephant in the room Is watching me, And I wonder What else he can see? No one wants to admit  the reason he's there. Or that this relationship's  in complete DISREPAIR. You asked me to visit,  You were persistent-   And here I came... Way too consistent. You've always known  You can count on me,  I've never said no-  There's no boundary.  I've let you say things This has gone on for awhile And you say things Just to hurt & beguile.  And I came to tell you off Once and for good,  Hoping to feel  Much better understood. But today you just sit there,  Not feeling well-   And my mouth is kept buttoned Closed, like a clam's shell... As you sit starry eyed  Just looking at me.  The feeling of contempt  Disseminating in me. And I know yet,  I'll swallow this anger and pain,  And I'll sit here with you,  Till I finally leave again.  And I hope...

IF I LOVE YOU

Standing in the rain again,  Hoping she'll be back.  This happens when emotions overrun,  And she doesn't know how to react.  She leaves the keys on the shelf Telling him she's not who she needs Instead of talking it all out,  She chooses to just leave.  He stands there thinking (shaking his head)- It's like the time before, When he was sure it was something he'd said. She pulls the car from the driveway In a rainy downpour, But he just watches on.. He'll never close the door... He remembers she said:   If I love you, If I love you You'll see.   I've stood on my own so long,  I just need time to be.... But if I love you.... If I love you, you'll know I'll come back better Than what I was before. You need to trust me now- I know how much I'm flawed The tears streamed down her face, As he sat in frustration and in awe. But then she said:  If I love you..... If I love you y o...

Facing Change by Changing Face

She decided she needed something different She decided to change something for real She always had hated her earlobes Her lips would never "seal the deal". Her tummy was now flabby And her arms now jiggled when she walked She wanted some quick fix that reflected a "new" girl Instead of the girl she got.  So she went to the cosmopolitan city And checked in at the spa And she had her looks evaluated They even checked out her ta ta's!  And when they finished up the exam An estimate they had comprised They told her to come back again,  Once she had gotten over her surprise.... Because the list was now quite long Longer than she suspected once before And she wondered how she had not known To much of her bitter horror! She went home and thought about it And cried a little too-  How could the people at the spa Let her leave with so much left to do?  Then she drove back to the city With all the money she had saved,  And asked fo...
