Riding down the highway, heading to your heart
There was a nasty accident, a ten car pile up
Now I'm running late, and you no longer want to wait

Now I hide behind my eyes with silence, blinding you to the noise inside my mind

The spider gathers friends all day and never lets them get away
They will sit and stay and with them he will play
Squirm and try as they might the spider's friends will stay the night
Until he remembers what his mother said
*"Don't play with your food, eat it before its dead"

It's like we've exited slow motion and gone completely frozen. No longer like an ocean, we do not flow. Our crashing waves have fallen silent, along with the atmosphere behind them.

It'll never be perfect or everything you want, but if you learn to love what little you've got, you'll come to find that you've got a lot

Just Me R
If you test someone's loyalty
By keep pushing them away
They will eventually leave
And you will have passed your test

Congrats.

People are quite similar, different but similar. What can happen once, can happen twice. What can happen twice can happen over and over. There's no anomaly in this sense. What I feel is happening all over the world. Perhaps, I've gotten good at spotting fake smiles because when one wears one, one learns to spot one. Check the eyes. The smile is on the mouth yet absent from the eyes. I seek for what is missing. So I study others to find my missing puzzle piece. A trial and error, for I find myself chasing the joy others are having. But after awhile, I realize that I'm just different. I react differently to stimulus provided by life. I realize that I'm stronger than how I once believed, those days I lay alone too exhausted that death sounds appealing. But to lay down with tears, I realize it's not over yet. So I look foolish and get up after thinking I couldn't take anymore. I keep walking. My desires are misleading and failure is common, but I walk anyway. And maybe it's a desire I have.. the possibility that things will get better.

People are social, they love to talk. Doesn't matter with who, even with those they dislike. Could it be to feed a need? The chocolate of social activity? I don't specialize in keeping small talk, nor a fan of it. I often hear people talk about the importance of eating and drinking well, the way of a healthy lifestyle. But shouldn't there be a class about talking well? There are naturals, but for me it's not the same. The mimickers, those who emulate the behaviour and those who do it on instinct. I, upset the balance because of my ways.

People see me and expect me to be something great. I upset their expectation and cause disappointment. I'm familiar with the term. What seems to be a long term game.

People are like fruits, I was told. *Feed them well with what they need and they'll grow ripe and well.
