The Breakup

Here lays my heart,
All broken and torn
There are no feelings left in it,
For me to mourn.
Here lays my mind,
Which has repressed;
All the memories we have shared,
That have left me a mess.
Here lays my soul,
Which you took away;
Along with my faith and trust in you,
That you broke in a day.
Here lays my body,
All mangled and left

Beautiful Christina Aguilara: The reason i picked this song was because, when somebody is abused they should never feel like it's their fault. And no matter how they're treated , they're beautiful

Save Me: Even though everyone makes mistakes, you are the only who can change or prevent them.

Who Says: This song was picked because no matter what anybody says, you should always think highly of yourself. And no one is perfect at anything but imperfection.

Pretty Girl Rock: I picked this song because Keri Hilson had self esteem problems and thats why she wrote the song, and it is very motivational

I Am

I am the child who cries
I am the one who's under the bed
I am the one who screams
The one with the bruises
I am the one who is unloved
The one that feels abandon.
I am the one who cant take anymore
The one who in the end will overcome.
