Well, just remember you're the master of your own universe. The one thing in this world you get to control is the way you feel, so treasure it. Don't give in. You're as strong as you want to be. If you find yourself going down a path in your mind that's harmful, decide to turn around.
That's exactly what I said
I remember every word
and how strange it was too, having words like that to give
me,playing at experienced
for once not the injured party, desperately begging
i have never ended a conversation so close to totally satisfied
most of your words reveal so little about who you are
they are over thought, contrived, sentences structures pre audited in your brain
but every now and then you get a spark of raw genuis, pure qualia, that speaks volumes
that says what you stand for, what you care about
what do you care about?
it took me years to figure out how much this simple question even mattered
how it becomes everything to define you, keep your fingers typing when you come home from a coke binge instead of watching tv
the tears in your eyes at the perfect lyric, the chord struck exactly to resonate with your heart strings, the pulls of every lost lover and friend
the memories you cross over too frequently,even while you are alive and present
in knowing that you were here and a part of this period of time, this music revolution
in blacklights and neon with combat boots, running with girls who call them selves pirate and are anything but scared
it took 20 years, but now i see
happy doesn't come right out and announce itself, poke you in the rib cage
you have to search for it
it hides in the corners of your eyelids, just out of vison so you have to really focus
really sit and find it, let your experiences speak for themselves
once upon a time, i told myself that the definition meant facing yourself in a mirror, catching your eyes off guard so you almost look like someone else
then you repeat the words "I am living the life of my dreams and this is exactly what I've always wanted'
and you'll know
they'lleither ring true, move you to tears, make your heart expand inside your chest as it gives love and food to every mistake and regreat and leap of faith and decision it took you to get just where you're standing
no more no less
exactly in your space
and if it isn't true, that's ok too
just keep searching
find out what you care about, and i mean really care in the most lasting pervasive kind of way
the dream will come and it will show you all of the vibes and energies you never noticed before
breathe deeply
feed into them
and eventually, your wish will be granted
I can see the tattoos glowing on your body
