"Every moment of your life, you're writing. Even in your dreams, you're writing. When you walk the halls in this school you meet various people and you write furiously in your head." -Frank McCourt


DJ promised forever,
Forever was a game.
His heartbreak character
Will only get him fame.

He's good with his words,
He knows what to say.
DJ will convince you
To give your heart away.

DJ's a gentleman.
Roses, he'll buy,
But after awhile
You'll just want to cry.

"I love you" is just a line
He didn't know it'd offend.
Did anyone tell him
This is how it would end?

Don't believe his excuses
They're all just a lie
In time, you'll see
he'll only say "Good-bye."

He'll break your heart,
Crush it in two.
And the most pain you'll cause him
Is a stomp on his shoe.

He's not worth your time
To him, you're just a toy
But maybe you'll see
He is just a boy.
