Journal: yup -------------------------------------------Mood: Depressed"Breathe (2 AM)"
2 AM and she calls me 'cause I'm still awake,
"Can you help me unravel my latest mistake?,
I don't love him. Winter just wasn't my season"
Yeah we walk through the doors, so accusing their eyes
Like they have any right at all to criticize,
Hypocrites. You're all here for the very same reason
'Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button, girl.
So cradle your head in your hands
And breathe... just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe
May he turn 21 on the base at Fort Bliss
"Just a Day", he said down to the flask in his fist,
"Ain't been sober, since maybe October of last year."
Here in town you can tell he's been down for a while,
But, my God, it's so beautiful when the boy smiles,
Wanna hold him. Maybe I'll just sing about it.
Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable,
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table.
No one can find the rewind button, boys,
So cradle your head in your hands,
And breathe... just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe
There's a light at each end of this tunnel,
You shout 'cause you're just as far in as you'll ever be out
And these mistakes you've made, you'll just make them again
If you only try turning around.
2 AM and I'm still awake, writing a song
If I get it all down on paper, it's no longer inside of me,
Threatening the life it belongs to
And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd
Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud
And I know that you'll use them, however you want to
But you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable,
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button now
Sing it if you understand.
and breathe, just breathe
woah breathe, just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe.

Mood: Guess what!?
Hi guys. You remember that poem I wrote a while back called "Hidden Treasure" about the autistic boy that I had been working with occasionally? Well, I was working with the class again today and they have asked me to come on full time as his personal aide. I wont know for sure until I meet the teacher tomorrow and get evaluated, but its like a HUGE honor to be asked to do something like that. I am ecstatic. So yeah, things are looking up.

Journal: Remembering -------------------------------------------Mood: DANG IT!Kind of in a nostalgic mood today. It goes along with my new post. So I dug out my old matchbox 20 cd and played a song that was very important to me in that former life of mine.
******************************************************
Hang
she grabs her magazines
she packs her things and she goes
she leaves the pictures hanging on the wall, she burns all
her notes amd she knows, she’s been here too few years to feel this old
he smokes his cigarette, he stays outside ‘till it’s gone
if anybody ever had a heart, he wouldn’t be alone
he knows, she’s been here too few years, to be gone
and we always say, it would be good to go away, someday
but if there’s nothing there to make things change
if it’s the same for you I’ll just hang
the trouble understand, is she got reasons he don’t
funny how he couldn’t see at all, ‘til she grabbed up her coat
and she goes, she’s been here too few years to take it all in stride
but still it’s much too long, to let hurt go (you let her go)
and we always say, it would be good to go away, someday
but if there’s nothing there to make things change
if it’s the same for you I’ll just hang
the same for you
I’ll always hang
well I always say, it would be good to go away
but if things don’t work out like we think
and there’s nothing there to ease this ache
but if there’s nothing there to make things change
if it’s the same for you, I’ll just hang

Journal: DON'T ASK -------------------------------------------Mood: The UsualCheck out my new post and match it up. Should be pretty self explainatory.
Someday, Somehow
How the hell did we wind up like this
Why weren't we able
To see the signs that we missed
And try to turn the tables
I wish you'd unclench your fists
And unpack your suitcase
Lately there's been too much of this
Dont think its too late
Nothin's wrong
just as long as
you know that someday I will
Someday, somehow
gonna make it allright but not right now
I know you're wondering when
(You're the only one who knows that)
Someday, somehow
gonna make it allright but not right now
I know you're wondering when
Well i hoped that since we're here anyway
We could end up saying
Things we've always needed to say
So we could end up stringing
Now the story's played out like this
Just like a paperback novel
Lets rewrite an ending that fits
Instead of a hollywood horror
Nothin's wrong
just as long as
you know that someday I will
Someday, somehow
gonna make it allright but not right now
I know you're wondering when
(You're the only one who knows that)

Journal: One 4 The Road -------------------------------------------Mood: OverwhelmedOkay, so if you have read my newest post and/or some of my recent comments, then you can probably tell I am having trouble dealing with all the messed up shit going on in the US right now. So, I guess this is kinda how I feel, and kinda why I write.
THE CHANGE
One hand
Reaches out
And pulls a lost soul from harm
While a thousand more go unspoken for
They say what good have you done
By saving just this one
It's like whispering a prayer
In the fury of a storm
And I hear them saying you'll never change things
And no matter what you do it's still the same thing
But it's not the world that I am changing
I do this so this world will know
That it will not change me
This heart
Still believes
The love and mercy still exist
While all the hatred rage and so many say
That love is all but pointless in madness such as this
It's like trying to stop a fire
With the moisture from a kiss
And I hear them saying you'll never change things
And no matter what you do it's still the same thing
But it's not the world that I am changing
I do this so this world will know
That it will not change me
As long as one heart still holds on
Then hope is never really gone
I hear them saying you'll never change things
And no matter what you do it's still the same thing
But it's not the world that I am changing
I do this so this world we know
Never changes me
What I do is so
This world will know
That it will not change me

Journal: Another One -------------------------------------------Mood: Sigh...So, I was watching Cold Case tonight, err listening to it from my computer room rather and I heard one of my old favorites and am not walking round singing it. This journal was a toss up between it and Turn The Page, which deadndreaming inadvertantly stuck in my head ;). Enjoy:
Don't stop believing
Just a small town girl,
livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin' anywhere...
Just a city boy,
born and raised in South Detroit
He took the midnight train goin' anywhere...
A singer in a smokey room,
the smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on...
Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlight people, living just to find emotion
Hiding, somewhere in the night
Working hard to get my fill,
everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice,
just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on
(chorus)
Don't stop believin'
Hold on to the feelin'
Streetlight people

Journal: Another One -------------------------------------------Mood: Thinking...I don't know why but now I seem to be stuck on this song so I hope it doesnt drill itself too far into anyone's brain ;)
The Heart of The Matter
I got the call today, I didn’t want to hear
But I knew that it would come
An old true friend of ours was talking on the phone
She said you found someone
And I thought of all the bad luck,
And the struggles we went through
And I lost me and you lost you
What are these voices outside loves open door
Make us throw of our contentment
And beg for something more?
I’m learning to live without you now
But I miss you sometimes
And the more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought I knew, I’m learning again
I’ve been trying to get down
To the heart of the matter
But my will gets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think its about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don’t love me anymore
These times are so uncertain
There’s a yearning undefined
..... people filled with rage
We all need a little tenderness
How can love survive in such a graceless age?
The trust and self-assurance that leads to happiness
There the very things they kill, I guess
Pride and competition
Can not fill these empty arms
And the work I put between us
Doesn’t keep me warm
I’m learning to live without you now
But I miss you baby
The more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought I figured out
I have to learn again
I’ve been trying to get down
To the heart of the matter
But everything changes
And my friends seem to scatter
But I think its about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don’t love me anymore
There are people in your life, who’ve come and gone
They let you down and hurt your pride
Better put it all behind you; life goes on
You keep carrying that anger, It’ll eat you up inside
I’ve been trying to get down
To the heart of the matter
But my will gets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think its about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don’t love me anymore
I’ve been trying to get down
To the heart of the matter
Because the flesh will get weak
And the ashes will scatter
So I’m thinking about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don’t love me anymore

Journal: Old Songs -------------------------------------------Mood: Head AchingI cant seem to get this song out of my head for the last few days. Some of you younger folk will probably wonder what the hell it is and who the hell she is. I think maybe I am stuck on this song because I just found out that the ex associated with it is single again. Amazing how an old song can hold onto a memory for so long.
Can't Make You Love Me
Turn down the lights;
Turn down the bed.
Turn down these voices
Inside my head.
Lay down with me;
Tell me no lies.
Just hold me close;
Don't patronize.
Don't patronize me.
'Cuz I can't make you love me
If you don't.
You can't make your heart feel
Something it won't.
Here in the dark
In these final hours,
I will lay down my heart
And I'll feel the power;
But you won't.
No, you won't.
'Cuz I can't make you love me
If you don't.
I'll close my eyes,
Then I won't see
The love you don't feel
When you're holding me.
Morning will come,
And I'll do what's right;
Just give me till then
To give up this fight.
And I will give up this fight.
-Bonnie Raitt-

Be kind, take a few minutes to review the hard work of others <3 It means a lot to them, as it does to you.
