-!katie!-

I'm katie, and that's basically all I am and will be. I am completely myself. I'm opinionated and different and I won't change that for anybody. My past isn't amazing, but hey, everybody has it better than somebody else, so I'm thankful. Life is pretty good now. I don't trust much. I've been broken a few times, but I've managed to stay strong. I have an amazing boyfriend. I'm not very religious, so sorry to anybody who is. I'm a sophomore. I love to laugh and have fun, and some of my poetry tends to be depressing. I love music, especially lyrics. Writing is one of the most important parts of my life. I write mostly poetry, but strangely enough I actually want to be a journalist when I grow up. I'm kind of hyper at times, but I am mature for my age, and I can be serious when I need to be. I like sports but I'm smart so I'm not counting on that to get me through life. I'm Irish and German, and proud of my heritage. I have an older brother who is the best role model a girl could wish for. I like to express my feelings in poems and stories because a really amazing friend of mine told me it might make me deal with them better. Big ol' kudos to brandon. I can get kind of sad, and lack this thing called confidence at times, but I try to be happy as much as possible, cause I've learned you never know how much life you have left to live, so I'm thankful for what I am given. I tend to get insecure and I'm trying to kick that habit. I guess most teenage girls are, but I think I work a little differently. I love to get opinions, so don't be shy, review my work, and we'll get along.
thanks,
Katie<3 :)







The whispers turn to shouting
The shouting turns to tears
Your tears turn into laughter
And it takes away our fears.
-secondhand serenade

Stay with me,
Or watch me bleed,
I need you just to breathe.
-secondhand serenade

And don't you know my heart is open, oh,
it's putting up the fight,
and I've got this feeling,
that everything's alright,
Don't you see?
I'm not the only one for you,
But you're the only one for me.
-secondhand serenade

All you did was stop the bleeding.
But these scars will stay forever,
These scars will stay forever
-secondhand serenade

Why do you do this to me?
Why do you do this so easily?
You make it hard to smile because,
You make it hard to breathe
Why do you do this to me?
-secondhand serenade

And everything about you
Seemed to be a lie
A guiltless twisted lie
It made me learn to hate you
Or hate myself for letting it pass by.
-secondhand serenade

So please,
Let me be free from you.
And please, let me be free
I can face the truth.
-secondhand serenade

It seems all of these words couldn't be further from the truth
How did I get here? What did I do?
Your eyes, telling me lies
And making me find myself
While you have your agenda, a life to persue.
-secondhand serenade

I see forever when I look in your eyes
Your all I ever wanted. I always want you to be mine
Let's make a promise till the end of time
We'll always be together, and our love will never die
When I look into your eyes
I can see how much I love you
And it makes me realize
When I look into your eyes
I see all my dreams come true
When I look into your eyes
-firehouse

Slow way down,
This break down's eating me alive.
And I'm tired, this fight is fighting to survive.
-secondhand serenade

I should've known this wasn't real
And fought it off and fought to feel
What matters most? Everything
That you feel while listening to every word that I sing.
I promise you I will bring you home
I will bring you home.
-secondhand serenade

There are certain people you just keep coming back to
She is right in front of you
You begin to wonder could you find a better one?
Compared to her now she's in question.
-The Fray

Then you tried
To hold my hand
Under the table
But it's far too vague
To be meaningful
-Idlewild

Hold on little girl
Show me what he's done to you
Stand up little girl
A broken heart can't be that bad
When it's through, it's through
Fate will twist the both of you
Build up your confidence
So you can be on top for once
wake up who cares about
little boys that talk too much?
-Mr Big

You left a stain
On every one of my good days
But I am stronger than you know
I have to let you go.
-Matchbox Twenty

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please help me?
-The Beatles

And if you go,
I wanna go with you.
And if you die,
I wanna die with you.
Take your hand and walk away...
