real faces real-me
Faces ...I ...don't ...know ...the real ...me
reality might needs
Alone everything changes. Some might call it distorted reality but it's exactly the place I need to be.
real wrecks real-me
I'm a total wreck. Afraid to let anyone near. Afraid they'll see the real me.
dream hurt real
Ghosts Take shape under moonlight, materialize in dreams. Shadows. Silhouettes of what is no more. But ghosts don't bother me. The day brings bigger things to worry about than flimsy remains of yesterday. No, spooks don't scare me. Gauzy apparitions might prank your psyche or agitate your nightmares, but lacking flesh and blood they are powerless to hurt you-cannot hope to inflict the kind of damage that real, live people do.
morning real love-is
But hey, I'm not exactly sold on the idea that love is, in fact, real. Will it find me one day, overtake me, infiltrate my life like sunlight snakes through the cold of morning? Can love thaw me? will it ever?
real good-luck lucky
Real love finds you once, if you're lucky.
special world realizing
But more importantly, you are a gift, to all who know you, whether or not they realize it. If they don't, they are blind. You have a special place in this world. All you hvae to do is find it.
realms
In my limited realm of experience, beginnings led to endings.
real real-love disposable
Real love shouldn't be disposable.
girl real believe
I told her about the man, not my daddy, she said, He was only making you into a real girl. I didn’t understand. But I made myself believe her. I was a real girl now. But what was I before?
beautiful girl real
Not exactly. I see a girl who wants to present someone special to the world. Someone beautiful. The pinnacle of beauty. But she has lost her hold on reality. Real beauty isn’t thin. It isn’t size two, unless you happen to be four foot ten. What the world sees when they look at you is someone who believes self-worth is all about how she looks, and that very often means that what she’s missing is love. Not someone else’s love. But love and respect for herself.
real love-is giving
The truth is, I don't have a real clue what love is - how to find it, how to give it. Once upon a time I thought I knew.
real sleep night
you fly until you crash two days two nights no sleep, no food, come down off the monster YOU CRASH REAL HARD
strong real addiction
I carry a strong anti-drug message, and it's important young people especially hear a "real" story about addiction and how it affects not only the addict but also the people who love him/her, rather than "just say no."
