keep their eyes to themselves
already insecure, don't need any help.
& you can blame the pride,
that makes you keep your anger inside,
but deep down, you wanna curse them all:
"fuck off, asshole, jerk-off dirtball."
you turn me on to the idea of growing old.
i don't mind the sun sometimes,
the images it shows,
i can taste you on my lips,
& smell you in my clothes.
cinnamon & sugary,
& softly spoken lies,
you never know just how to look
through other people's eyes.
i don't care who you are,
where you're from,
what you did
as long as you love me:)
now where's your picket fence, love?
& where's that shiny car,
did it ever get you far?
you never seemed so tense, love,
never seen you fall so hard,
do you know where you are?
& truth be told i miss you
truth be told i'm lying
when you see my face...
i hope it gives you hell.
to me, you're strange & you're beautiful.
he came home on acid
i was holding his shotgun
i was dressed like tina turner
in beyond thunder dome
he said "don't shoot,"
i said "i won't,
i love you,
you're my friend."
i handed him my wig
& shot myself in the head.
the boom box on my shoulder was a box of clementines,
i ate every single one without noticing the mold,
you said "you're gross my darling,"
i said "no, i'm rock and roll."

maybe, there's a moment growing up when something peels back,
maybe, maybe, we look for secrets because we can't believe our minds.
crazy isn't being broken or swallowing a dark secret.
it's you or me amplified.
maybe everyone out there is a liar.
& maybe the whole world is stupid, & ignorant.
but i'd rather be in it.
id' rather be fucking in it.
razors pain you,
rivers are damp,
acid stains you,
drugs cause cramps,
gun aren't lawful,
nooses give,
gas smells awful...
you might as well live.
scream for everything you wish had never happened.
(i stole this off a girl i know's blog on myspace.
she really is incredible.)
you love the people that love you.

if we go down we go down together,
best friends means, best friends means
you never knew
(well I never told you...)
everything I know about breaking hearts
i learned from you, it's true
i've never done it with the style & grace you have
but I've made long term plans
based on these mistakes.
is that what you call a getaway?
tell me what you got away with.
i've seen more spine in jellyfish
i've seen more guts in 11 year old kids.
she said don't trust them, trust me.
then she pulled at my stitches one by one,
looked at my insides, clucking her tongue
& said "this all has got to come undone."

happiness is sweet; suffering is bitter. we all suffer to some extent. we have some malaise in our body & our mind. we have to recognize & acknowledge the presence of this suffering & touch it.

i'm sorry i'm bad
i'm sorry you're blue
i'm sorry about all the things i said to you
& i know i can't take it back
i love how you kiss
i love all your sounds
& baby the way you make my world go 'round
& i just wanted to say
i'm sorry.
baby, if you can't change the world
maybe you should just change yourself
you used to be such a sweet young girl,
why'd you wanna be someone else?
i don't mind
if you don't mind

i don't mind
if you don't mind
you write such pretty words-
but life's no storybook...
love is an excuse to get hurt,
& to hurt.
do you like to hurt, i do:
so hurt me.
if it makes you less sad
we'll start talking again
& you can tell me how vile
i already know that i am.
call me a safe bet,
i'm betting i'm not.
so call it quits
or get a grip.
where are you?
& i'm so sorry.
yes, i'm kicking myself now.
wish i could have done things differently.

holding back the fool pretends,
i forget to forget,
nothing is important.

you swore you'd never let yourself believe
there was anything out there you couldn't reach
& like a skyscraper you stood tall
while the rest of the world waited for you to slip
get me up early
i'm so motivated
life as we know it is so overrated
you are the best thing that i've ever needed
safe in this world that is restless & greedy
& i never say no to you...
if there is ever a tomorrow when we're not together there is something you must always remember:
you're braver than you believe,
stronger than you seem
& smarter than you think.
but the most important thing is that even if we're apart
i'll always be with you.
-winnie the pooh
why do we trust one another so little?
i know there must be a reason,
but still i sometimes think it's horrible that you find you can never really confide in people,
even in those who are nearest to you.
-anne frank
generally, by the time you are real,
most of your hair has been loved off,
and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby.
but these things don't matter at all,
because once you are real you can't be ugly,
except to people who don't understand."
-the velveteen rabbit
(i love this book so much)
people do not seem to realize that their opinion of the world
is also a confession of their character.
