!!I HEAR YOU!!

There's an empty place inside that is hurting me
A place that keeps my heart out on its own
A disconnected function of my wretchedness
That keeps me so hard pressed
It's a place where words are spoken you
will never hear
A broken bridge of lines that just won't come
An empty lung that won't give the wind
to speak at me
How far can it be from home

Why you gotta be so mean to me
Why you gotta drag me down just to make me see
You know I don't listen good and I'm always in need
So why you gotta be so mean to me

Do you think that it got up and left
for good this time
A crowd of faceless strangers moving on
A feeling that you left it all behind you now
That it doesn't hurt somehow
To know

Been there, done that... but ashamedly I don't harbour the patience to tolerate that in others. The selfish uppity side of me expects instant understanding and comprehension. I forget I guess that some things come wiht experience. I took 2 years God dammit.

I was a major pain in the rear end.
Now tables turned, may I display the patience and love that was displayed to me 2 year ago.

I will be mean, I will drag you down in hopes that you'll listen good and drop the neediness.

the greatest act of love I've done for you is to tell you all this.
Me to "the generalized other." (yes my imagination is back, but with a new name thanks to Mead.)

So open up the book that you keep deep inside
Let the pages yellow in the sun
Show them that you're not afraid to let them see
How far you can be From home

if you ever want to walk anywhere, get on your feet first, no matter how painful.
