Life is not depression
Love is not failure
We are not useless.

Life is not hopeless
Love is not a burden
We are not small.

Life is not unforgiving
Love is not untouchable
We are not lost causes.

Life is beautifully cruel,
Cruel in the way that it's almost as if it takes pleasure
In our rivers of tears and outcries.
But it lifts us up every now and then,
And it lifts us up high.
It drops us again, but the rush is worth the fall... isn't it?

Love is refreshingly pure,
Not every emotion humans feel is hatred and love.
There is just one type of love,
And the rest are just stemmed of that beautiful action.
That's where we fall and shatter though
Love is not a feeling!
It is not something that demands to be felt!
It demands to be held
And nourished and protected.

We are not useless.
Stop giving up, darling.
Stop...please!

You aren't even close to your last chance or your last strength
You were given this life because you can handle it.
All you have to do is decide that you will handle it.

The two of us connected the day I met the world
And you would comfort me when it sent me in a whirl
The first time I was home alone
You came to me at the drop of the phone.
Through all those precious, irreplaceable times
I guess I forgot that your age was getting older with mine.
Like a jagged knife,though, time was sure to remind.
You were my first best friend and forever star.
And after all this time... this is how we've ended up.
Your growing pain makes it hard to stand up.
I wish I could have you here as endless
But you are my timed Heaven.

Take life as a riddle.
There could be many interpretations
Or sometimes just a little.
But the point is, there is good and bad

This world will break you to see how far you can bend
And they will make you feel like you don't fit in
But inside our blood is red.
All of our blood is red
We are the same inside.

No you are not alone
Because somewhere, someday, somebody's going to need you
Someone's going to love you
And they're going to want you.
Because somewhere, someday you are going to need them
You're going to love them
And you're going to want them.
Because somewhere, someone feels just like you already.
Someone is wondering if there is any one else who feels the same
... they need you..
You need them...
We need each other.

Don't forget, darling, you matter.
We all matter to someone
Even if it feels like we're something that would be better off gone.

Remember that all their judgments are small
It doesn't matter because you can build what's inside so tall
This is the upside of the downfall

I enjoy the sparkle of stage lights
More than the flashing camera lights
But, for some reason, love the rush of stage fright.

"These times will try hard to define me
And I'll try to hold my head up high
But I've seen despair here from the inside
And it's got a one track mind"
These Times- Safetysuit
One of my favorite songs and my all time favorite band.

He runs his fingers across his chest
He is a story-lined royalty at its best
The words he writes may seem cliché,
But I find them to be mellifluous.
His emerald green eyes with just a pinch of gold
And his charming, short mahogany hair
Can't help but illuminate his sense of perfection.
I usually catch myself from falling into such recklessness,
but  my God he's just so beautiful...

Such beautiful minds have become perverted... narrowed.
They say human life is just wasted,
All here to wait for heaven or damnation.
But religion only hurts when we become cutthroat
Like everyone, but ourselves, is lost

He never intended this..
But nobody seems to care
Because all that matters is what is next.
Religiously consumed in tomorrow...
While today is just
Degraded.. Forgotten...
I just don't understand.
