What would you say if I asked you not to go
To forget everyone, forget everything and start over with me
Would you take my hand and never let me go
Promise me you'll never let me go
And now the stars aren't out tonight,
But neither are we to look up at them
Why does hello feel like goodbye?
These memories can't replace,
These wishes I wished and dreams I chased
Take this broken heart and make it right
I feel like I lost everything when you're gone
Left remembering what it's like to have you here with me
I thought you should know,
You're not making this easy
I never thought I'd be the one to say
Please don't, well please don't leave me
I feel like I lost everything when you're gone
Left remembering what it's like to have you here with me
I thought you should know,
You're not making this easy
You're not making this easy (easy, easy, easy...)
Take my hand and never let me go,
Take my hand and never let me go,
Promise me...
You'll never let go
You'll never let go
You'll never let go
You'll never let go
Make this last forever
I feel like I lost everything when you're gone
Left remembering what it's like to have you here with me
I thought you should know, you're not making this easy
You're not making this easy
You're not making this easy
You're not making this easy
You're not making this easy
I'll fall asleep tonight, 'cause that brings me closer to you
"Promise" ~ Matchbook Romance
I don't want to stay the night here ... I need somehwere to go. I can't be here when Dad gets home because Mom is pissed at him and I don't want to hear the fight ... if I have to hear it ... I don't know what I'll do. I heard their fight in Cinncinnati but I couldn't do anything. Now, I can. I have a vast amount of options. This is all so stupid ... Amanda/Max and Mom/Dad ... relationships that seemed perfect ... going down the drain. I don't want anything like that ... I want love, not lust and not a relationship based on two people being desperate. I just ... I don't know. I give up.
Concerning last night ...
Amanda and Max broke up, I guess. I don't really know but I'm sick of having to lay on the floor in the living room and listen to my sister cry because Max has done something else stupid. It's been two days since Max has been around and I hate to say it but, Amanda seems much happier without him. So ... I don't know if this is good or bad.
Last night I didn't sleep at all, so needless to say ... I wasn't in the best mood today. I felt sick and I was tired. Then we all got shoved in that hot gym for about 1 or more, listening to people tell us stories that will make us more depressed throught the day. It was all about driving under the influence and it just really ... I don't know. I haven't thought about what happened back then for a lloonngg time, and I just did today. It was crazy ... Anyway! All day people just seemed to be bitches and it really got to me, more than usual.
What really pissed me of ... is drama. I'm so sick of those people who don't realize that the play is in 8 days and one little screw up destroys the whole play! People that are messing around and missing their lines, need to stop. People that won't shut up long enough so people can know when to come in, need to stop. And people need to stop being so judgemental. That's not what we signed up for!
Anyway, after a frustrating day and practice, I wondered on home. Amanda went out with one of her friends, so I got stuck alone. Which ... I don't really mind. So, I made dinner for Dad and I. Steaks, baked potatos, and spinach. He brought home the two books that I wanted and a movie called "October Sky." I sat down to watch it and so did he. I think it's the first movie we've just watched in a long, long time. Tonight was good I guess. I mean, Dad and I didn't have a fight like we usually do. Now, if only it was that way more often ... Mum and Amanda included!
I'm feeling really down right now though. I'm not sure why, but I am. Lately, this has been happening more often. I will just have breakdowns, even in the middle of some of my classes. I just feel like crying and my mind just switches off. There are times when this world is too much for me to take. Especially now, with Dad's dreams of being to help us all. Mum's misconception that she have the best of two worlds. Amanda's sudden outburts of anger, usually directed at whoever is the closest. Drama going down the drain. My grades following closely behind. Now and then there is a ray of light. A shimmer of happiness. Eventually, that light will be mine and I will be happy ... but eventually could be 20 years from now ... who knows. But, I'm done for tonight. Ta.

This needs to stop!!
I was angry a moment ago when I first typed that, but most of it has faded into a weakness and I just don't feel like moving. It's taking forever just to type this much. So that's it.
Bye.
Yes! Paul McC is coming back to Ohio and this will be my 3rd concert of his! Yup yup! Gotta luv him! Too bad I couldn't go see George or John ... but I luvish Paul so it's cool. I'm sure Mum will be happy. Maybe I can talk her into letting us go twice! At the Fleet Center in Boston and then here in Columbus ... that would be sooo awesome.
Yes, I am hyper even though I had 3 hours of sleep. I'm more awake and happier than I have been in a while. It's ... odd. O.O
There's a woman crying out tonight
Her world has changed
She asks God why
Her only son has died
And now her daughter cries
She can't sleep at night
Downtown
Another day for all the suits and ties
Another war to fight
There's no regard for life
How do they sleep at night
How can we make things right?
Just wanna make this right
We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe
In this love
We are all the same
Human in all our ways and all our pain
(So let it be)
There's a love that could fall down like rain
(Let us see)
Let forgiveness wash away the pain
(What we need)
And no one really knows what they are searching for
(We believe)
This world is crying for so much more
We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe
In this love
So this world
Is too much
For you to take
Just lay it down and follow me
I'll be everything you need
In every way
We believe
You and I are friends
You smile, I smile
You laugh, I laugh
You cry, I cry
You jump off of a bridge ...
I'll miss you.
You're keeping in step
In the line
Got your chin held high and you feel just fine
Because you do
What you're told
But inside your heart it is black and it's hollow and it's cold
Just how deep do you believe?
Will you bite the hand that feeds?
Will you chew until it bleeds?
Can you get up off your knees?
Are you brave enough to see?
Do you want to change it?
What if this whole crusade's
A charade
And behind it all there's a price to be paid
For the blood
On which we dine
Justified in the name of the holy and the divine
Just how deep do you believe?
Will you bite the hand that feeds?
Will you chew until it bleeds?
Can you get up off your knees?
Are you brave enough to see?
Do you want to change it?
So naive
I keep holding on to what I want to believe
I can see
But I keep holding on and on and on and on

"Promise" Matchbook Romance
Things are crazy lately.
Grandma has a broken wrist and is finding it hard to do what she used to be able to do so well. Papaw is taking care of her and he's getting really worn out.
Granddad was in the hospital last night because a rod he had in him came through his skin. Grandma had to stay at the house and there was nothing she could do. I think she felt really bad.
One of my best friends, almost brother, is in the hospital as well because of ... nevermind.
Matthew was in the hospital for three days because he had mono and the poor kid sounds so miserable. He kept saying he was tired. I really do hope he gets better soon.
Amanda is being stupid. Would you really go back out with someone who only cares about themselves?? I just don't think so. Then again, I'm less trusting than she is.
Whatever. It's just really weird. Everything that's going on.
Evil Penguin Queen
We're all very worried.
Grandma is in the hospital because she fell and is very weak. Dad, Sharon, and Karen are the hospital with her right now; trying to get her to eat and Papaw to sleep. Her sugar is really high, but they won't give her any insulin and she's a diabetic. Amanda and I are really worried, but there is nothing we can do. Mum is even more worried because it's her mother and she's 3 hours away so if anything should happen, she wouldn't know until someone called her - even then it would take her a long time to get up here. If anything happens to her ... I mean, we all know it will happen eventually, but not this soon. Not until she gets to see at least one great-grand-ch

A year ago I ruined my world. I hurt everyone I ever cared about and lost them forever. Now, I'm putting the pieces back together. Even if it takes another year, I'll try to make everything better. The way they used to be. I know it will never be exactly the same but I am going to do the best I can. I want my best friends back. I want to change. I want to be happy again. I want to love again. I want my life back. And I'll do whatever it takes. Especially, if I can get the one that means the most back.
It's the end of MY world as I know it ... the end of OUR world. Of Amanda's, Dad's, Mom's, mine ... everyone in our family is about to change. Mom has been confronted, lying she has told them it was over a long time ago. She does not know that Amanda and I know all about it. Pappaw told her about the debt, which must have upset her. Now, I don't know where Dad is and I have no idea what is going through my head because I can barely fucking think straight ... what to do ... I don't know ...
For fifteen years I trusted you
I believed every word you said
But now I can see the truth inside
Now I just wish I was dead
For fifteen years I loved you
I admired your every thought
But now I cannot listen
Now I see it was all for naught
For fifteen years I needed you
I wanted you to be there
But now I cannot stay here
Now I know that you don't care
For fifteen years I held you
I always kept you near
But now I push you away
Now I see it's you I fear

"For Fifteen Years" ~ By me.
This is to Sherrie ... my "mother."
Are you going to be there for my birthday? Are you going to see Amanda's second graduation? Are you going to ever come back? Are you going to ever love us again? Are you going to ever tell us ... why?
"Breaking The Habit"
Memories consume
Like opening the wound
I'm picking me apart again
You all assume
I'm safe here in my room
Unless I try to start again
[Bridge:]
I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
'Cause inside I realize
That I'm the one confused
[Chorus:]
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not alright
So I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
Tonight
Clutching my cure
I tightly lock the door
I try to catch my breath again
I hurt much more
Than anytime before
I had no options left again
[Bridge:]
I dont want to be the one
The battles always choose
'Cause inside I realize
That I'm the one confused
[Chorus:]
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So, I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
Tonight
[Bridge:]
I'll paint it on the walls
'Cause I'm the one at fault
I'll never fight again
And this is how it ends
[Chorus:]
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
But now I have some clarity
to show you what I mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So, I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
I’m breaking the habit
Tonight
______________
I just ... forget it ...

RIP John Lennon and Dimebag Darrell
She sat alone in the corner of her world
Tears streamed down her thin pale face
A wilted rose lays at her feet with a note
The note tells of an ended strife
A friend of her's who took his life
Even more her problems grow
For each tear there is a scar
She knows this pain can never end
Her own suicide would solve it all
There are thoughts inside my head
Constant images of being dead
Whether it be with a gun
Or hanging high from a rung
Maybe bleeding myself dry
Overdose I could try
I could just waste away
And never face another day

Don't pretend you're the only one hurt ... don't pretend it's all your fault ... don't put all of the blame on me ... don't call me cold-hearted ... don't keep pushing me if you want me back ... don't guilt me ... don't ... just don't ...
Hello,
How are you? I am, alive, I suppose. I am physically alive, mentally? I'm not sure ... I am falling apart and no one can see it. I can't live like this any longer. The only thing that keeps me alive is perhaps the tiny shimmer of happiness that may linger in my future. I have never felt this way before. I thought, that when I started, it was bad. Each one is deeper and no matter how much I do it, it never helps. It ... is never enough. There are exactly 98 from my wrist to my elbow. They consist of words and lines, and such. It hurts so bad, but it feels like ... for once ... I'm in control. But I know I'm not. Not with these sudden shocks of emotion that pull me down into the darkness that take over me. You know what, forget it. You don't actually care ... so why am I talking to you? ... Bye.
