He is the loud pounding bass, And awesome riffs, Like Paget on the electric guitar.

Can’t get the same impact, out of annoying screeching sounds of their country voices

Yes my parents hate him for doing it to me, But I don’t care, My life has never been the same Since,

I may seem like the girl, that wouldn’t be into it, I may not be actually wearing, the big baggy pants with the chains,

But in a way I am On the inside I am a fein, Metal made me majestic. //

 Seinah Harris

I was draped all over with hopelessness and depression. Putting on a disguise Pretending life was fine

I was grabbed by love For the first time. “He’s real, he’s really real,” I said reassuringly.

He made me whole again He showed me there was light In my dark tunnel

Entering high school for the first time Falling into the crowds of sin early in my high school career

 Not realizing that danger had me wrapped in his arms Life couldn’t get any worse the one person I thought I could trust left me.

 __Him__ He’s very cute Has brown eyes And brown curly hair He has a very cute face His birthday is on December 6

He’s not so good at Spanish But he’s in my Spanish class Looks at me a with those beautiful eyes a couple times a day Best of all is that I like him I think of him every day Every moment

When I see him I feel the butterflies in my heart My heart pounds so fast I cant stop it I'm very happy that I saw him

I just wish that he would see me too In the way that I see him Not as a friend but more than that I just wish that he would notice me for once Notice that I like him

I want to go to him and tell him Tell him that I like him

But I'm scared Scared cuz I've been rejected before Scared cuz I've broken a friendship before Scared cuz it hurt And it still hurts

I don’t want to make that mistake again I don’t want to lose a friend again I don’t want it to hurt again I don’t want it to hurt anymore I want to be happy Happy like the others
