ATTENTION: If anyone would like my story "A Need For Memories" in a slightly different format (an easier to understand format, more than that I cannot say for fear they will take it down) than I have here, you can find it under aviendha15's account.

BTW, In case anyone is wondering: I DO NOT LIKE PARODIES (in case some people don't understand the term: a story, movie, song, etc. that makes fun of one of the same.) I will NEVER watch Space Balls, or A Very Potter Musical or its sequal. Do not expect me to understand references to them in peoples' stories (or in reviews in my own). Thanks, anyway, that is how I feel.

OKAY! LOOK PEOPLE, I KNOW THAT MOLLY AND ARTHUR WERE NOT AT HOGWARTS WHEN THE MARAUDERS WERE. I GET IT, OKAY?! READING WITH THE TRIO WAS NOT MY STORY TO BEGIN WITH AND ORCHIDTANI WAS THE ONE WHO PUT THAT IN THERE. IT WOULD BE TOO MUCH TROUBLE TO GO BACK AND REDO ALL OF HIS/HER STORY TO CHANGE THAT ONE FACT. I'M NOT CHANGING IT, OKAY?! SO WOULD PEOPLE STOP BRINGING IT UP?! DEAL WITH IT, OR STOP READING THAT STORY!

"Alyssa Lies"

My little girl made a new friend just the other day

On the playground at school between the tires and the swing.

But she came home with tear-filled eyes

And she said to me, "Daddy, Alyssa lies."

Well, I brushed it off at first

'cause I didn't know how badly my little girl had been hurt.

Or the things she had seen

I wasn't ready when I said "you can tell me."

And she said:

(Chorus)

Alyssa lies to the classroom

Alyssa lies every day at school

Alyssa lies to the teachers

As she tries to cover every bruise

My little girl laid her head down that night to go to sleep

As I stepped out the room, I heard her say a prayer so soft and sweet

"God bless my mom and my dad

And my new friend Alyssa

I know she needs you bad."

Because Alyssa lies to the classroom

Alyssa lies everyday at school

Alyssa lies to the teachers

As she tries to cover every bruise

I had the worst night of sleep in years

As I tried to think of a way to calm her fears

I knew just what it was I had to do

But when we got to school on Monday, I heard the news

My little girl asked me why everybody looked so sad

The lump in my throat grew bigger with every question that she asked

Until I felt the tears run down my face

And I told her that Alyssa wouldn't be at school today

'Cause she doesn't lie in the classroom

She doesn't lie anymore at school

Alyssa lies with Jesus

Because there's nothing anyone would do

Tears filled my eyes when my little girl asked me why

Alyssa lied

Daddy, please tell me why

Alyssa lies

A song that I heard for the first time yesterday even though it has been out since 2006. It's based on a true story and written and sung by Jason Michael Carroll. Look it up on YouTube but be warned you'll need a box of tissues.

Anyway, please people I beg you if you have even an inkling someone is being abused report it. Most states, I believe this can be done anonymously and if you are being abused and no one is listening there's a hotline or you could always pm me. I'm always willing to listen. The hotline is 1-800-422-4453.

If you believe Jesus is the only way to be saved from your sins and is the only way to God, and therefore Heaven, copy and paste this onto your profile and add your name to the list:Kaisaan Greenleaf, Xaja Silversheen, Mystic Winter, Mrs. Fantasy, Dimcairien, SailorMartin3

If you believe in Jesus Christ put this in your profile and don't just ignore this, because in the Bible it says, ‘If you deny me, I will deny you in front of my Father in the gates of Heaven

Even when you can’t see him GOD is there! If you believe in GOD put this in your profile

Jesus had no servants, yet they called him Master...

He had no medicine, yet they called him Healer...

He had no army, yet kings feared him...

He won no military battles, yet he conquered the world...

He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him...

He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today

It happened many years ago

The memories still haunt you though

And who's to blame, you really don't know

You're just locked all alone in these chains

Some times it's hard to live at all

The pictures of your history call

Your mind's a decorated wall

But the Lord has the cure for your pain

It's time, come back to the land of the living

Come home to the land of forgiving

Jesus will be faithful to the end

It's time, break the tangled web that binds you

Let the grace of God unwind you

Give the Lord your broken heart to mend

It's time, it's time

You've had your little victories

But perfection's pretty hard to please

And guilt is an annoying breeze

That blows all that is peaceful away

And your life is too short to go on living like this

Or to brood over who's done you wrong

If the years pass you by, look at all that you'll miss

You've been walking in shadows too long

It's time, come back to the land of the living

Come home to the land of forgiving

Jesus will be faithful to the end

It's time, break the tangled webs that bind you

Let the grace of God unwind you

Give the Lord your broken heart to mend

It's time, it's time

(Wayne Watson: It's Time)

For all of those who are living with the guilt of things unsaid, undone, things that can't be taken back, they can all be given to the Lord who will, and does, love you and can comfort you and release you from the crippling guilt so you can begin to live the life as he would want you to live it.

They say that into every life some rain must fall

For the pain is no respector of the mighty or the small

But sometimes it just seems so unfair

To see someone who's had more than his shair

Oh, it makes you wonder "Why?"

And, Lord, I wouldn't second guess your mighty plan

For I know you have a purpose that's beyond the scope of man

If you look inside my heart, you will find

That I have always been the trusting kind

Oh, but still I wonder "Why?"

I wonder "Why"

Do the rainy days have to come

When the storm clouds hide the sun

I wanna know "Why?"

"Why?"

(I wonder "Why")

When the reasons aren't clear to me

When it all is a mystery

I want to know "Why?"

And though down here I may not understand

I won't let go of the Unseen Hand

Oh no, for it holds the reasons WHY

The Lord has never been afraid of honest prayer

And he won't allow the burden to be more than you can bear

When he knows that your trust is in him

He doesn't mind the questions now and then

Even if you wonder "Why?"

I wonder "Why?"

Do the rainy days have to come

When the storm clouds hide the sun

I want to know "Why?"

"Why?"

(I wonder "Why?")

When the reasons aren't clear to me

When it all is a mystery

I want to know "Why?"

And though down here I may not understand

I won't let go of the Unseen Hand

Oh no, for it holds the reasons WHY

And though down here I may not understand

I won't let go of the Unseen Hand

Oh no, for it holds the reasons WHY

(4-Him "Why?")

I hold the Master's hand daily, it is a great comfort. If you believe this post it to your profile. If you would like to know more, send me a pm or e-mail me at SailorMartin3@.

I had kind of an epiphany the other day. I was listening to the song "Before The Morning" by Josh Wilson. It's a Christian song but it should speak to just about anyone. Anyway, the gist of the song is that though we all go through some tough times in life there is always something we can't see that is right around the corner that will someday put things in perspective. One of the lines of the song is: "life is not a snapshot, it might take a little time but you'll see the bigger picture..." Anyway, my epiphany (or as I call it my "well, duh" moment) was that no matter who you are, what you believe, etc that someday sometime in their lives people want a miracle, the thing is that they don't want the circumstances that would require one.

Her name was Auroura
She was only five
This is what happened
When she was alive

Her dad was a drunk
Her mom was an addict
Her parents kept her
Locked in an attic

Her only friend
was a little toy bear
It was old and worn out
And had patches of hair

She always talked to it
When no one's around
She lays there and hugs it
Not a peep of sound

Until her parents
unlock the door
Some more and more pain
She'll have to endore

A bruise on her leg
A scar on her face
Why would she be
In such a horrible place?

But she grabs her bear
And softly cry's
She loves her parents
But they want her to die

She sits in the corner
Quiet but thinking,
" God, why? Why is
My life always sinking? "

Such a bad life
For a sad little kid
She'd get beaten and beaten
For anything she did

Then one night
Her mom came home high
The poor child was hit and slapped
As hours went by

Then her mom suddenly
Grabbed for a blade
It was sharp and pointy
One that she made

She thrusted the blade
Right in her chest,
" You deserve to die
You worthless pest! "

The mom walked out
Leaving the girl slowly dying
She grabbed her bear
And again started crying

Police showed up
At the small little house
They quickly barged in
Everything was as quiet as a mouse

One officer slowly
Opened a door
To find the sad little girl
Lying on the floor

It must have been bad
To go through so much harm
But at least she died
With her best friend in her arms

Signs that someone might be being bullied at school:

1. Is reluctant or downright refuses to go to school.

2. Grades are slipping.

3. Spends most of their time alone and rarely talks about their friends.

4. When asked how school was, they always answer fine but don't want to talk about it.

5. Avoids public places, may hide in the library during lunch or after school.

6. Runs extra laps in PE so that they don't have to stand around with everybody else waiting for the teacher to start class.

7. Seems distrustful of other peoples' motives for asking simple questions or even talking to them.

8. Seems overly cheerful when there is an unexpected day off from school.

People, there is NEVER a reason to bully someone. You don't know what it will do to people. What may seem like harmless fun or teasing can have far reaching effects. I don't care what they do or don't do, how they dress, how they act, what they look like, how they talk, etc. bullying is increasingly becoming one of the leading causes of suicide in the US. Personally (and I know some college people will disagree with me on this subject but I have to say it) hazing is just another form of bullying and is just as hurtful. Speaking from experience as someone who endured two years of being bullied (and I still don't know how I made it through) where every student in the school (and that is not an exaggeration) hated and made fun of me for something that wasn't my fault, I am still feeling the effects some twenty years later. I find myself spending most of my time alone, I don't trust people, I rarely, if ever, tell people personal stuff, I have few friends (although I have a large number of acquaintences). Bullying is not funny or harmless and even those of us who survive aren't what we used to be.

SOMEONE LET ME KNOW, AS FAR AS THEY WERE ABLE, WHAT HOUSES THE ORIGINAL ORDER MEMBERS WERE IN IF THEY KNOW? I THINK IT WOULD HELP ME GET SOME PERSPECTIVE ON THOSE THAT WE DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT.

THANKS.
