Forgiveness is the fragrance the violet sheds on the heel that crushed it. -Mark Twain

I hate myself more than you ever could

so lay it on thick while i have no defenses

and pick me apart til i lose my senses

and then forget me like everyone else.

When you try your best but you don't succeed

when you get what you want but not what you need

when you feel so tired but you can't sleep

stuck in reverse

and the tears come streaming down your face

when you lose something you can't replace

when you love someone but it goes to waste

could it be worse?

Fix You -- Coldplay

She's tough, she tries to hide it.

She's difficult, but if you make an effort,

she's worth it.

She's worth the effort.

--Grey's Anatomy

Daylight comes in the nick of time

Shines some light into the darkest corners of her mind

All the world is, all the world is weighing down on you

Lost -- Aqualung

See a mountain, see an ocean

see the years that bring rock and tide

close together.

Settle down - I say to myself

things that come with time

will always be better.

Everyone gets what they want too fast

these days.

No one knows the way to make things last.

Still I say, hey baby, I'm through waiting.

Cuz I need you now,

I'll show you how

you can take my hand and

save me.

The Rock and the Tide -- Joshua Radin

assignment for my creative writing class

The nights are poppin’ and always hardcore.

She’s forgetting what she came for, in this town.

She’s like a toddler in a bounce house,

her safety she’s choosing to ignore, in this town.

Though she’s afraid of being seen as a tramp,

her values don’t seem present anymore, in this town.

Her new friends, copious doses of liquid poise,

are sharing in memories she won’t store, in this town.

“Katie, my friend, I don’t know what to do.”

“Maybe you need to close the door, on this town.”

We are not the exception, we are the rule.

It's a common belief that positive thinking leads to a happier healthier life. As children we are told to smile, be cheerful, and put on a happy face. As adults we are told to look on the bright side, to make lemonade, and see glasses as half full. Sometimes reality can get in the way of our ability to act the happy part though. You're hope can fail, boyfriends can cheat, friends can disappoint. It's in these moments, when you just want to get real, drop the act, and be your true scared unhappy self. -Grey's Anatomy

There he was.

Just like always, there he was,

and she knew he'd always stay,

but still she left,

and so regret took his place.

Silence is golden, you can be alone with your thoughts and your dreams.

You can dream about what you want and remember what you have.

You can think things as real or as perfect as you can imagine, and

you don't have to put on a face pretend you're okay.

You're voice is adrift

I can't expect it to sing to me

as if i was the only one

-- Jack Johnson-Adrift

I know its mad,

but if i go to hell will you come with me

or just leave?

-- Panic At The Disco-Do You See What I'm Seeing

No matter how thick skinned we try to be, there's millions of electrifying nerve endings in there. Open and exposed and feeling way too much. Try as we might to keep from feeling pain, sometimes it's just unavoidable. Sometimes that's the only thing left - just feeling. -Grey's Anatomy

The longer we dwell on our misfortunes, the greater is their power to harm us.

Hey kid, stay out of my life.
