"I understand feeling as small and as insignificant as humanly possible.
And how it can actually ache in places you didn't know you had inside
you. And it doesn't matter how many new haircuts you get, or gyms you
join, or how many glasses of chardonnay you drink with your
girlfriends... you still go to bed every night going over every detail
and wonder what you did wrong or how you could have misunderstood. And
how in the hell for that brief moment you could think that you were
that happy. And sometimes you can even convince yourself that he'll see
the light and show up at your door. And after all that, however long
all that may be, you'll go somewhere new. And you'll meet people who
make you feel worthwhile again. And little pieces of your soul will
finally come back. And all that fuzzy stuff, those years of your life
that you wasted, that will eventually begin to fade..."

Life in Circles

They painted up your secrets
With the lies they told to you
And the least they ever gave you
Was the most you ever knew

And I wonder where these dreams go
When the world gets in your way
What's the point in all this screaming
No one's listening anyway

Your voice is small and fading
And you hide in here unknown
And your mother loves your father
'Cause she's got nowhere to go

And she wonders where these dreams go
'Cause the world got in her way
What's the point in ever trying
Nothing's changing anyway

They press their lips against you
And you love the lies they say
And I tried so hard to reach you
But you're falling anyway

And you know I see right through you
When the world gets in your way
What's the point in all this screamin'
You're not listening anyway

“I wanted a perfect ending. Now I’ve learned, the hard way, that some poems don’t rhyme, and some stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what’s going to happen next.”
