great words

i made a similiar thread once, but it was about lyrics that represent how you're feeling at this exact moment. this thread is basicly the same... poems, song lyrics(songs in their entireness) that represent how you're feeling at this exact moment


mine is:

Name A Better Son/Daughter
Artist Rilo Kiley


Sometimes in the morning I am petrified and can't move.
Awake, but cannot open my eyes.
And the weight is crushing down on my lungs, I know I can't breathe.
And hope someone will save me this time.
And your mother's still calling you insane and high
Swearing it's different this time.
And you tell her to give in to the demons that possess her
And that God never blessed her insides.
Then you hang up the phone and feel badly for upsetting
Things and crawl back into bed to dream of a time
When your heart was open wide and you loved things just because
Like the sick and the dying.

And sometimes when you're on, you're really ****ing on
And your friends they sing along and they love you.
But the lows are so extreme that the good seems ****ing cheap
And it teases you for weeks in its absence.

But you'll fight and you'll make it through
You'll fake it if you have to and you'll show up to work with a smile
You'll be better and you'll be smarter and more grown up
And a better daughter or son and a real good friend
And you'll be awake, you'll be alert, you'll be positive though it hurts
And you'll laugh and embrace all your friends
You'll be a real good listener, you'll be honest, you'll be brave
You'll be handsome and you'll be beautiful.
You'll be happy.

Your ship may be coming in.
You're weak, but not giving in
To the cries and the wails of the valley below.
And your ship may be coming in.
You're weak, but not giving in.
And you'll fight it, you'll go out fighting all of them.

 

[Wicked]

Like the sound of silence calling,
I hear your voice and suddenly
I'm falling, lost in a dream.
Like the echoes of our souls are meeting,
You say those words and my heart stops beating.
I wonder what it means.
What could it be that comes over me?
At times I can't move.
At times I can hardly breathe.

When you say you love me
The world goes still, so still inside and
When you say you love me
For a moment, there's no one else alive

You're the one I've always thought of.
I don't know how, but I feel sheltered in your love.
You're where I belong.
And when you're with me if I close my eyes,
There are times I swear I feel like I can fly
For a moment in time.
Somewhere between the Heavens and Earth ,
And frozen in time, Oh when you say those words.

When you say you love me
The world goes still, so still inside and
When you say you love me
For a moment, there's no one else alive

And this journey that we're on.
How far we've come and I celebrate every moment.
And when you say you love me,
That's all you have to say.
I'll always feel this way.

When you say you love me
The world goes still, so still inside and
When you say you love me
In that moment,I know why I'm alive

When you say you love me.
When you say you love me.
Do you know how I love you?

I look into the forlorn face
Of the girl across from me
Her eyes so full of tears
That she can hardly see.
She hits her head against the wall
Before slumping to the ground
She lets her tears fall freely
With no comfort to be found.
She gently rocks her body
Swaying to and fro
She needs someone to hold her
But she has no where to go.
She grips her battered arms
Brushing bloody gashed
Blood cakes on her skin
As tears cling to her lashes.
She screams out loud
As she pulls her hair
Fear consumes her broken soul
Searching for a heart that isn't there.
I reach my hand to the broken girl
But quickly pull away
I see the emptiness in her eyes
And find now words that I could say.
What happened to this girl
Is the question on my mind
She searches so hard, so desperatly
For something she can never find.
She digs her nails into her skin
Biting back the pain
She drops the razor to the floor
As the blood falls down like rain.
I look back once more
At her eyes so full of fear
I get back to my feet
And walk away from the mirror.

a short quote: Insane people are always sure that they are fine. It is only the sane people who are willing to admit that they are crazy. - Nora Ephron

and the song that I am feeling cause i am sooo in love:
Somebody Loved"”The Weepies

Rain turns the sand into mud
Wind turns the trees into bone
Stars turning high up above
You turned me into somebody loved

Nights when the heat had gone out
We danced together, alone
Cold turned our breathe into clouds
We never said what we were dreaming of
But you turned me into somebody loved
Someday when we are old and worn
Like two softened shoes
I will wonder on how I was born
The night I first went away from you

Now my feet turn the corner back home
Sun turns the evening to rose
Stars turning high up above
You turned me into
You turned me into
You turned me into somebody loved
Somebody loved
Somebody loved

Hmm. I'm feeling a little restless. In the mood for a trip...


My little dog ran away the other day
I can't believe my little dog Lassie ran away
She packed her bags and got into a hot-air balloon
Then my little dog Lassie, she sailed off to the moon

The day, the day
That was the day that Lassie went to the moon

My little dog Lassie packed her bags and went out onto the porch
Her golden fur glistened in that sunny blue backdrop sky of Kansas
Before her stretched majestic wheat fields and over to that great city to the west
Lassie knew she had the duty to serve the youth of America and the stars above

The day, the day
That was the day that Lassie went to the moon


"”The Day That Lassie Went to the Moon
Camper Van Beethoven

I was told this today by a friend who is afraid for me:

"How, dear sir, did you cross the flood?"
"By not halting friend, and by not straining I crossed the flood."
"But how is it, dear sir, that by not halting and by not straining you crossed the flood?"
"When I came to a standstill, friend, then I sank; but when I struggled, then I got swept away. It is in this way, friend, that by not halting and by not straining I crossed the flood."

-Buddha, "The Connected Discourses of the Buddha"

 

[freakydorky]

My biggest mistake
Was abandoning you
I didn't have a reason
There was nothing I could do.
It's my fault
Things are this way
I wish we could go back
For just one more day.
I want to say I'm sorry
But I'm afraid it's too late
I used to see love in you eyes
Now all I see is hate.
It's okay to hold a grudge
It's okay to be mad
I'm sorry for everything
That made you so sad.
I can't begin to say
How much I miss you
I never meant to turn my back
On a friend so true.
Now I hear you hate me
And it breaks me inside
I should have stayed next to you
Instead of running to hide.
I had a chance
And I chose wrong
I just want you back
It's been so long.
It hurts to see you mad
But I probably deserve it
I should have been stronger
I should have made it through it.
If I could take it all back
I would give anything
I would go back through the dark times
The crying and the cutting.
What kept me alive
Was knowing I wasn't alone
With you by my side
I felt like I was finally home.
To know that you were going through
The exact same thing
To know you understood
It helped to ease the pain.
And now I feel the tension
Whenever I am near
I just want to say I'm sorry
And that I wish you were here.

Sunday Afternoon
rachael yamagata

t's a choice
to stay
It's a dream
& I wanna wake

You have blood on your hands
and I'm feeling faint
And honey
You can't decide

I'm a drug
Ya don't wanna give up
Smoke your cigarettes
Make your love

You poured blood in my heart
and I can't get enough
I'm drowning, drowning
and you can't decide

It's not about geography, or happenstance
you need to fly, & take a chance
You don't need to soar to emptiness
Float on high, & forever dance alone

Your scared, scared, scared
cuz I feel like home

Hear your voice
Knew right away
If you were here
your eyes would say

There is blood on my feet
as I'm walking away
Rivers are red
Its starting to rain

I'm not gonna live for you
or die for you
Won't do anything anymore for you
Cuz you leave me here on the other side
You leave me here on the other side

(repeat 3 more times)

Not gonna shed one more tear for you
shed one more tear for you
I'm not gonna shed one more tear for you

At least not til Sunday Afternoon
Sunday Afternoon

Leave or Stay
Leave or Stay

I'm on my back
dreaming of no one
just days gone by
and miles of green grass
that one day will be mine
I could die and no one would know
they don't realize it doesn't feel like I'm alone

on my back I can become one
with the couch I'm living on
I can sleep all day
and not do anything
and let the phone ring

and in my eyes
the ceiling or the sun and sky
I float around on waves
the truth hurts so I lie
I don't cry about the things I should
content to be misunderstood

on my back I can become one
with the couch I'm living on
I can sleep all day
and not do anything
and let the phone ring

on my back I can become one
with the couch I'm living on
I can sleep all day
and not do anything
and let the phone ring

I'm on my back
dreaming of nothing
just, will it rain on all the pretty girls
I love not living in the world
I love not living in the world

on my back I can become one
with the couch I'm living on

on my back I can become one
with the couch I'm living on

on my back I can become one
with the couch I'm living on...


On My Back

[arabella]

There were always in me, two women at least, one woman desperate and bewildered, who felt she was drowning and another who would leap into a scene, as upon a stage, conceal her true emotions because they were weaknesses, helplessness, despair, and present to the world only a smile, an eagerness, curiosity, enthusiasm, interest.
Anais Nin


The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are.
Joseph Campbell


Chinese Proverbs:
Do not believe that you will reach your destination without leaving the shore.

blue october's Calling You

Theres something that i cant quite explain
i'm so in love with you
you'll never take that away

and if i said a hundred times before
expect a thousand more
you never take that away

well expect me to be
calling you to see
if you're ok when i'm not around
asking if you love me
i love the way you make it sound
calling you to see
do i try too hard to make you smile
to make a smile

well i will keep calling you to see
if you're sleepin are you dreamin and
if you're dreamin are you dreamin of me
i cant believe
you actually picked...me

i thought that the world had lost its sway
(its so hard sometimes)
then i fell in love with you
(then came you)
and you took that away
(its not so difficult, the world is not so difficult)
you take away the old
show me the new
and i feel like i can fly
when i stand next to you
so what if I'm on this phone
a hundred miles from home
i take the words you gave
and send them back to you

i only want to see
if you're ok when i'm not around
asking if you love me
i love the way you make it sound
calling you to see
do i try too hard to make you smile
to make a smile

i will keep calling you to see
if you're sleepin are you dreamin and
if you're dreamin are you dreamin of me
i cant believe
you actually picked...me

well i will keep calling you to see
if you're sleepin are you dreamin and
if you're dreamin are you dreamin of me
i cant believe
you actually picked...me

i will keep calling you to see
if you're sleepin are you dreamin and
if you're dreamin are you dreamin of me
i cant believe
you actually picked...me

I was told by someone wise who I've grown to love as a sister a stroy about a 1 dollar bill. That no matter how much someone tramples over the bill or how badly they treat it the bill is still worth 1 dollar. Or something along those lines. Thanks sweetie!
