Everyone is so excited to hear
the baby is near...

but when the baby is here,
and the future isn't clear,

the number of people who steer
clear of your tears...

is larger than you'd fear.

When all you want is love,
and you're denied that love,
nothing else seems important
or even worth it.

All I needed was for you to stay,
for you to hold me while I cried.

Because all I do is feel alone,
but when you hold me, I feel so much
        more.

But it was an inconvenience to you,
so you left me here to cry.

You say you're sorry, and I know you are,
but it's hard to accept your apology

when it comes from you thinking your
        pain and bad mood tomorrow
trump my grief and sorrow.

I don't care about your purpose, I only care about how it makes some people feel.  If you're going to post something graphic, descriptive, or something that could trigger flashbacks or anything online and your account is connected somehow (via following, facebook friends, or whatever) to someone you know or even don't know who has dealt with what you want to share to make a point like "all men are evil," then you have to reflect on who you are as a person and how dire it is that you share this piece of information.  Is your point so important and "accurate" to prove that you need to put someone in harm's way?  Do you really need to post that video of someone being run over or shot, or killed or wounded in any way?  Do you really need to share that person's **** story?  Do you really need to post that picture of someone's hanging?  Do you really need to post any of that?  If you really feel the need, AT LEAST - okay?  at least? - put it in your settings that someone you may know who is sensitive to whatever you want to post doesn't see it.  You want to make the world a better place?  Maybe start thinking.

This isn't a poem, as you can probably tell.  (I'm sorry!)  I just need advice!

I'm trying to decide whether while working this summer, I would want to focus a lot on music and how I might want to portray it - like through covers and mashups and all that jazz.

I've been told I have a nice/lovely/beautiful voice and I love to sing and really never stop.  And I'm almost always listening to music, and I can guarantee you I always have a song stuck in my head (usually Cher's Believe).

I just don't know if I should do it.  Never mind post to the Internet - that time will come when it may.  But I just don't wanna go out and buy a recording microphone, mic stand, a capo for my guitar, and have someone tune and change the strings (because I cannot tune a guitar even if the world depended on it) of my tiny guitar that I'll basically have to spend time learning again.

I really want to, but it's really the money aspect that I'm worrying about.

Should I just do me and go for it and if I really like it, then I can go out and buy all that stuff if I wish?
