Rock A Bye, Bye Baby

    climb out my window by the treetop

    where the wind blows my feet follow nonstop

PANIC

    when the news breaks, 9-1-1 they will call

    but I’ll be long gone, once and for all

Runaway

    just can’t take it anymore

    no matter what I say, they’d just ignore

If You Had Controlling Parents

    you’d understand

    and give me a hand

DONE WRONG

    that’s right they did

    and they blame me, I’m just the kid!

The Opposite of Love

    I could give you a laundry list

    but for now, I think you get the gist

FIASCO

    that’s what it was alright

    but no one wants to listen to my plight

THE SILENT CRADLE

    it’s been that way for a long long time

    finally said enough of this grime!

THE GIRL WHO KICKED THE HORNET’S NEST 

    but is this much better?

    perhaps I should of packed a sweater

A COLOSSAL FAILURE OF COMMON SENSE 

    accomplished Plan A: disappear

    but where do I go from here?

Dr Strangelove’s Game

    at least there’s someone in this world that cares

    even gave me a place to stay in his downstairs

THE FINAL DIAGNOSIS

    but it’s not all together for him either

    he needs my help so he can catch a breather

On Beauty

    he’s given me so much and nicknamed me Beautiful

    not helping him out would be inexcusable

LIES (And the Lying Liars Who Tell Them) 

    who to believe? no one to trust

    guess I’ll just have to adjust

NO SAFE PLACE

    no, not anywhere

    just want to wake up from this nightmare

BOULEVARD OF BROKEN DREAMS 

    walking these streets, but not alone

    walking these streets, trailing testosterone

Give Them Wings

    “and they will fly”

    ya, and they wonder why

the road to Happiness

    certainly not the one they put me on

    and they wonder why I don’t respond!

BETWEEN PARENT AND CHILD

    we don’t see it the same

    and they say I’m the one to blame!

When the Wood is Green

    they’re tried to bend me at their whim

    despite my opinions, much to my chagrin

HER MOTHER’S DAUGHTER

    and she wonders why I got naughtier

    if she’s not careful she’ll be convicted of manslaughter

THE WORLD I KNOW

    the one I don’t want

    the grass has to be greener away from this haunt

POWER IDEAS for A HAPPY FAMILY

    ha! can power and happiness coexist?

    if so, there’s something I’ve definitely missed

I’m OK, You’re My Parents

    so keep your distance

    I’ll let you know if and when I need assistance
