right where it belongs

See the animal in his cage that you built
Are you sure what side you're on?
Better not look him too closely in the eye
Are you sure what side of the glass you are on?
See the safety of the life you have built
Everything where it belongs
Feel the hollowness inside of your heart
And it's all
Right where it belongs

What if everything around you
Isn't quite as it seems?
What if all the world you think you know
Is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection
Is it all you want it to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks?
Would you find yourself
Find yourself afraid to see?

What if all the world's inside of your head
Just creations of your own?
Your devils and your gods
All the living and the dead
And you're really all alone?
You can live in this illusion
You can choose to believe
You keep looking but you can't find the woods
While you're hiding in the trees

What if everything around you
Isn't quite as it seems?
What if all the world you used to know
Is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection
Is it all you want it to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks
Would you find yourself
Find yourself afraid to see?

nostalgia: summer 2005

the inevitability of people hurting you

October 22, 2008 (a myspace message response to a friend of mine)
"...and i know all that shit is going to go on for the rest of my life, it's just disappointing and sad to accept the fact. most people don't know what a true friend is or at least they don't care enough to actually be one. and that is probably the most devestating thing to realize, but it is the truth and it won't change because people don't care enough to change it.
i take pride in the fact that i'm a damn good friend and a good person over all. i do have my mood swings and i'm not happy-go-lucky all the fucking time, but who is? and i can't fake a smile for shit (which doesn't help me since i work in customer service haha) but
i wouldn't want to fake a damn thing even if i could.
so, just in case there was any doubt, i'm not someone who doesn't value their real friends. i let them know exactly what they mean to me and how lucky i am just to know them, let alone have their friendship."

coffee addict

i don't think it's a good thing that coffee puts me in an absolutely amazing mood.
but i guess it's better than alcohol...

going crazy

"Don't wonder why people go crazy. Wonder why they don't. In face of what we can lose in a day, in an instant, wonder what the hell it is that makes us hold it together."
-Meredith Grey (Grey's Anatomy)
