a quote from the perks of being a wallflower..

"My doctor told me the story of these two brothers whose dad was a bad alcoholic. One brother grew up to be a successful carpenter who never drank. The other brother ended up being a drinker as bad as his dad was. When the asked the first brother why he didn't drink, he said that after he saw what it did to his father, he could never bring himself to even try it. When they asked the other brother, he said that he guessed he learned how to drink on his father's knee."


huh. I guess thank you is in order?

I'm very glad for the choices I've made, because I know I could have just as easily gone a different route.

The Tide That Left and Never Came Back

Spell bound, like chains clamped

To the mightiest structure,

She gazed up at the comet

Dancing along the endless sky.

A light flickers on

As the paddles zap her core,

And with new eyes, discovers

Her world: transfigured and unknown.

Sweet scents, clear contours,

And magnified melodies

Ambush the unarmed soldier,

And retreat to Utopia.

No feeling can match -

As complete as a circuit,

She is invincible and

Nothing will generate sorrow.

Going, going, gone -

Consumed by the shadows, she

is lost; without a road map.

Her pain is a spreading cancer,

Relentless, wicked,

And hushed. The bitter wind swept

The obscured abyss harshly -

A ship caught in a violent sea.

Unwavering and

irrevocable; her love.

She waits for: her light, her heart

Her complement to reappear.

Many mock her faith.

Labelled foolish like a child,

Obedient as a dog,

Her thoughts are left safely intact.

And now she must choose.

Worn like a bruise or a badge;

Her heart can fight the war or

Yearn in the deepest agony.

I swear I could sing this at the top of my lungs...

If I had my own world,

I'd build you an empire.

If I had my own world,

I'd fill it with wealth and desire.

A glorious past to admire,

And voices of kids out walking dogs, birds, planes, cleanest cars.

If I had my own world,

I'd love it for all that's inside it.

There'd be no more wars, death or riots.

There'd be no more police, packed-parking lots, guns, bombs sounding.

If I had my own world,

I'd build you an empire.

From here to the far lands,

To spread love like violence.

Let me feel you, carry you higher.

Watch your words spread hope like fires.

Secret crowds rise up and gather.

Hear your voices sing back louder.

If I had my own world,

I'd show you the life that's inside it.

The way that it glows when you find it.

And the way it survives with its families, friends or its enemies.

Let's make this a new world.

I swear you can go if you want to.

I know that you have that within you.

Inventing the first clean and useable, gods greatest miracle.

If I had my own world,

I'd build you an empire.

From here to the far lands,

To spread love like violence.

Let me feel you, carry you higher.

Watch your words spread hope like fires.

Secret crowds rise up and gather.

Hear your voices sing back louder.
