I'm an 18-year-old Freshman at Truman State University. My parents are divorced, and I have two brothers. I was born on June 12, 1990. Hobbies include reading, writing, music, and photography. My girlfriend, Sarah, and I have been together for over two and a half years. I love music: listening, writing, and performing. My musical influences include the following:
Aerosmith, All American Rejects, America, Avalon, James Blunt, Bowling for Soup, Brand New, Breaking Benjamin, Jackson Browne, Kim Carnes, Harry Chapin, Jim Croce, Crosby Stills Nash & Young, Crossfade, Eagles, Evanescence, Sara Evans, Fleetwood Mac, Good Charlotte, Hinder, Billy Joel, Elton John, Diana Krall, Carole King, Bonnie Koloc, Avril Lavigne, Annie Lennox, Gordon Lightfoot, Linkin Park, Sarah McLachlan, Bette Midler, Joni Mitchell, Nickelback, Savage Garden, Simple Plan, Carly Simon, Al Stewart, James Taylor, Andrew Lloyd Webber
I've got some pretty cool friends here on AP. Some of them have written poems for me or mentioned me in a poem.
Unseen
by auddy511
Can anyone ever see,
The inside, the real me?
How I'm torn and hurt,
Of such no one seems to be alert.
No one hears my sobs or cries,
For all the horrible lies.
To them, my mind is dirt,
Why can't they see, I'm hurt?
Then the one,
Who shone like the sun,
Came to me.
He had believed in me through thick and thin.
And always able to come again.
He is my hope, faith, and trust.

I will be there if you are ever down
To lend you my hand and guide you through
Life gets rough and sometimes you need someone there
I just want you to be happy and know that I am there for you.
So when you are sitting there, feeling upset
Just remember that I am wishing the best for you
Be careful what you do and what you say
And always remember I will be looking out for you.
Every cut and every scar
I want to heal the pain
Every frown and every tear
I want to wash away the rain.

Open Heart
by SusanL
The finger of doubt starts creeping in,
Painting your heart in shades of grey.
Slowly the fears grow within.
The finger of doubt starts creeping in.
Soon confidence is wearing thin
And the nerves begin to fray.
The finger of doubt starts creeping in
Painting your heart in shades of grey.
Alone in the world, your greatest fear;
No love to call your own.
Heartbreak starts with a single tear;
Alone in the world, your greatest fear.
A broken soul looks from the mirror;
The pain cuts to the bone.
Alone in the world, your greatest fear;
No love to call your own.
Look again in that reflecting glass;
Another is standing too.
Alone in life, you shall not pass.
Look again in that reflecting glass.
He will be your friend 'til the last;
This Shepherd will see you through.
Look again in that reflecting glass;
Another is standing too.
Don’t let this fear and doubt take hold;
Seek Him with all your heart.
Soon the truth will start to unfold;
Don’t let this fear and doubt take hold.
Seek a wisdom worth more than gold;
His word is where to start.
Don’t let this fear and doubt take hold;
Seek Him with all your heart.

Andy,
I'm sorry that I hurt you,
I didn't mean to make you cry.
I only want to be there for you
in all your troubled times.
You are my hero, Andy,
you've been through every thing at a cost.
I'm sorry if I wasn't there,
when you needed me the most.
I want to be there for you now,
even if it your mad at me.
For if you will talk to me,
even through your pain,
I can help you through your times,
and make you feel wanted.
At this time Tiffany is all you have,
and I fear its not enough,
to keep you from going insane,
through all of these things so tough.
I want you to know you have someone else
who cares for you
Love, Hilary
