There Is No Way Tattered bluejeans and tear stains. Head lowered hiding red eyes Because big girls don,t cry - Especially about nothing. I meander to the field where my lanky brown hair blends with The tall diy grass. To think about when I cried to get my way fAnd now I cry because there is no wayj No, there is no way To explain to a friend. There is no way To change someone's mind when itjs made up. There is no way. To prevent something that's happened. So, I ery Until my fortress is demolished by a four-year-old doll inquiring With wide brown eyes - Why are you crying? - There is no way to explain to a friend. So I brush it off with nothing,' And cradle my doll with the wide brown eyes Dreaming of the days when I cried to get my way. -Dawn Graff i think of you every day but something holds me back so ijll sit and look at you and smile ijll talk to you in my heart cause hearts will find the way i canlt find the words to express how i love you cause words just fade away i'd like to tell you how it hurts when you walk away and how the pain runs down my face but only my heart can say i wish that soon will come the day when i will see your face again and all the pain will fly away Pipkorn Q On The Beach As I stand upon this beach And the Wind strikes my face I take a moment just to think Do I deserve to belong to this race? What do I do to help this world Why do I deserve to live To others how do I help them To others how do I give? I stare down at the sand And I compare myself to a grain It - like me doesn't earn His right to be a part of the beach I - like it don't earn My right to live. I help no one in any way I donjt improve the world I just live - consume air and bread And Iam classified in the human race. Now I no longer stand at this beach Nor do I stare down at the sand Instead I float here in the water - Flat on my face . . . - NAI Metamorphosis 5

VV hat happens when you die? - Pipkorn Kit tamoxp Myself In Thought I am an individual. A loner. Quiet. Society strikes. Laws become ways I am others. I change. I give. I conform. Circumstances Suddenly overpower. I am confused. Scared. But aware. - NAI I Travel On I walked today. Step by step I traveled on My nowhere journey. As I walked I observed Birds chirping Dogs barking Men sawing and raking. Women sweeping and cleaning. There was movement Everywhere. Even the trees blew - But then somethings Were still. Cars parked on the streets. Wagons on the sidewalk. I walked on But I sometimes Felt my mind Wasn't moving With me. I lost my concentration Back with my first step. But yet on I Walk, In my own little world While my mind is Lost. A typical kind of feeling For a mixed up Troubled Frustrated person.
