I’ve Cried Myself To Sleep
And I’ve Smiled While I Lied
Where The Hell Were You
When I Wished That I Could Die?

I’ve Screamed At The Top Of My Lungs
And Cut Wildly Around
Where The Hell Were You
When My Face Wore A Frown?

I’ve Had Plenty Of Bad Dreams
And My Happiness Has Turned To Steam
Where The Hell Were You
When Aaron Was So Mean?

I Prayed To You So Many Times
And I Hated The Person That Is Me
Where The Hell Were You
When I Needed Self Esteem?

Favorite Quote:
Don't write your name in the sand, Waves will wash it away
Don't write your name in the sky, Wind may blow it away

Write your name in the hearts of the people you come in touch with.
That's Where it will stay

I would love to know the story behind this poem.
