Up
Somberly glanced to the ceiling,
I knew it when I heard the ringing,
       I'd be there dancing and singing,
Couldn't hide from the irradiation that saturated with all its might,
It seeped in unsuspected,
Grim to bright,
Forced beams in when all I wanted was the--
Dim inside,
Glared through blinds--had to adjust my eyes,
The sun was so harsh when I got the news tonight,
Always up, no one can always stay "up."
Life will sometimes let you down,
And that's just what it is,
Nightfall to sun-up,
Some things are
Beyond our control.

One of those days where it was going great until something came up that really got me down...I sometimes go to music for release, used to sing.  Tonight I played this video too many times and sang and danced along.

Delusions of grandeur
have made many a ship sink
But a boat that never leaves the harbor
has no story to tell

The word "love" (愛) written in my mother language
Contains the word "heart"
As does the word I use to tell you I "miss" you

A character that can also mean "think" or "want"
Because when it comes to you
My heart does the thinking
And all of my body
Wherever my heart's blood touches
Yearns for your love

Her soul was too big for her body
Her spirit was too large for a small minded world

I'm like a closed door,
Not locked just shut.
People gather around.
But none of them so bold,
Willing to cross my threshold.
Would you come in?
