I live in Italy but was born in America.
I like to write but usually don't ever share my stuff because I don't consider it good enough to show to people I know.
I go to high school and it is very hard due to the fact that it's in a language besides my mother tongue and I am taking hard classes. Everything from Latin and Physics to History of Art. [shudders]







heres a song i wrote:


A Sadder But Wiser Man

As I look back in time down my memory lane
Remembering all of my joys and all of my pain
From the moment we met to the day that I die
I'll remember your face and how you made me cry

But with all of the pain that I faced with you
Came the happiest of moments that I ever knew
With a shoulder to cry on came the comfort of life
With you by my side I could weather the strife

Though a sadder but wiser man
In all of the paths that I ran
My moments with you were the best
Towering above all the rest

No matter how much you gave me strife
No matter where I'll end up in life
I'll remember you...
I'll remember you...

I was the happiest of men without a doubt in my mind
Pressing through my life without looking behind
My life had seemed to me to be much more than a race
But now it seems to be I'm just counting the days

Why can't the things in life be how they were before
At a time in life when everything was worth much more
My heart still beats for you, my mind still screams for you
My soul still bleeds for you and I still dream for you

Though a sadder but wiser man
In all of the paths that I ran
My moments with you were the best
Towering above all the rest

No matter how I finish up the race
No matter where I'll live all my days
I'll miss you...
I'll miss you...

Now my tears have been shed and all the words have been said
So why don't I feel any better
Though it's time to move on it's easier said than done
Don't think my face could get any wetter

I need to carry on and push my memories back
Going steadfastly forward no matter what I lack
Without you by my side the world seems so cold
It all seems so cold without a person to hold

Will I ever get over you
Will I ever be through with you
Is it destiny that brought me to be
As a sadder but wiser me

Though it's time for me to let go of you
Though it's time to say goodbye
I still love you...
I still love you...





Here's some poems...

~The Breath Before The Plunge~

I take a deep breath as I look in the mirror
I gather my courage and swallow my fear
Too late to look back, to change what I have done
But the dread of the past has not yet won
I could give in to all my worries and fears
But to do so only causes pain and tears
So I'll look forward with a gleam in my eye
I won't give in to all the pressure and die

As I plunge in the water, less cold than I'd thought
My fears and my worries replaced with a knot
My stomach churning as I steadfastly go
Forever and unwaveringly toward what I know
To be the decision that I want to live by
I go toward my future without asking why
No matter the outcome I've already won
By having accepted that what's done is done


and the other:


MONKEY SEE MONKEY DO

Monkey see, monkey do
Little did that monkey know, he should have thought it through
To follow the fool makes him a tool

Lack of one's own decision
With a lack of precision
Just makes him look like the monkey he is

Lack of a choice of his own
He of course should have known
Just how caught up in others he is

Decide for yourself what you belive in
Decide for yourself how you'll be livin'
Just don't you be the fool by being someone else's tool

I want you to stop and to look around you
To stop and decide if your decisions are true
For without one's own choice what choice has man but to kneel down before the world and accept for eternity the fate he was given at birth?
