• so a little over a month ago, i was sitting in physics
  my teacher, though he is a complete dick with an ego the size of fucking alaska,
  always plays music during class.
  and its always realllllly good stuff.
  
  so on this particular day, a song came on that id never heard
  everyone was making fun of it -
  "hahaha yo prosser, what the fuck is this!?"
  
  but seriously, that song was one of the most beautiful songs id heard in a while
  so i found it
  
  magic by ben folds five
  
  there's not much to it
  not many words
  
  but, my lord - its amazing
  
  from the back of your big brown eyes
  i knew you'd be gone as soon as you could
  and i hoped you would
  we could see that you weren't yourself
  and the lines on your face did tell
  it's just as well
  you'd never be yourself again
  
  saw you last night
  dance by the light of the moon
  stars in your eyes
  free from the life that you knew
  
  you're the magic that holds the sky up from the ground
  you're the breath that blows these cool winds 'round
  trading places with an angel now
  
  saw you last night
  dance by the light of the moon
  stars in your eyes
  free from the life that you knew
  saw you last night
  stars in your eyes
  smiled in my room 
  
  ive never heard someone regard suicide like that
  and i think it sums up everything that ive ever wanted to hear someone say about me
  
  i think it kinda made me realize that all i want to hear is that someone NOTICES that im not okay.
  that im not myself
  
  maybe i want confirmation that if i were to kill myself,
  someone would have been able to see that being alive was hurting me way too much
  and that in death i was finally free
  
  
  
  fuck man, i just want someone to tell me im not crazy
