🎶Hey, where did we go? Days when the rains came; Down in the hollow, Playin' a new game.🎶
The last few days, I've been trying to help the people I had grown up with - more specifically Rahni and uncles Jeoung and Hoai - the first I have needed to help keep calm and not feel like she has to babysit a dumbass who went rogue while in Shanghai and nearly got the rest of the team arrested. The latter two I have helped navigate the seedy ( Read more... ) -
🎶Raindrops falling, Winter feels so gloomy; Hear a knock upon my door...🎶
🎶Stranger calling
Eyes that look like mine
He said you know I've called before🎶
Shaving this morning, I looked at my face and saw the strong resemblance to my biological father, the haunted look of pain similar to my grandfather's that was mirrored in my eyes. I thought of Reed, and when heading out and speaking with a neighbor I heard his inflections ( Read more... ) -
🎶5:34 a.m., I was about to start my day But she layin' there 'cross me, so I stayed anyway...🎶
🎶Arms tired, legs numb, wrapped around my knee
Sweetest of the sunflowers, yeah, you're the sun to me🎶
I didn't get the chance to chat with Rahni until this morning, she had a long, rough flight and two of the people with her were continually getting turned around and distracted so there was that frustration of keeping time with their connections ( Read more... ) -
🎶As reason clouds my eyes with splendor fading illusions of the sunlight...🎶
I am genuinely grateful for the people in my life right now. I have had several times when I didn't know where someone I cared about - someone who said they cared about me - had up and left without any word or even a note of when they might return or why they had left. My biological mother was the first to enact this type of behavior. When I dated ( Read more... ) -
🎶I'm gonna make a change, For once in my life; It's gonna feel real good...🎶
🎶...Gonna make a difference
Gonna make it right🎶
Long ago, a little girl wished to be pushed on a swing by her father, it was a Saturday morning at a schoolyard playground, and the children of the neighborhood were coming to have some fun before other summer activities drew them away to camp, fish and swim. Her father was preoccupied with a younger ( Read more... ) -
🎶She was a friend to me when I needed one... Wasn't for her, I don't know what I'd done🎶
🎶She coulda turned out to be almost anyone
Almost anyone
With the possible exception
Of who I wanted her to be🎶
I was hearing from some people I know that love my helping them and people they care about. I was thanked, and given a few uplifting and encouraging words, and it helped offset a couple of pretty nasty things blood relations had sent as they ( Read more... ) -
🎶Wrap me in a bolt of lightning, Send me on my way still smiling🎶
I've been thinking about my life, each point that there were real, genuine choices for me to make. At the time, I utilized my personal experience and the current understanding of the situation at hand to figure out my best course of action. Up until I felt myself stuck in a loveless marriage, just continuing to go through the motions, and then I ( Read more... ) -
🎶Here I lay all alone; Tossin', turning, Longing for some of your tender love.🎶
Today, a small group of us went out, the original plan was to see a double feature at the local theater (the film of Bob Dylan's life) and then Nosferatu. The place was PACKED lines out along the sidewalk and several shows were sold out. The one who would have bought tickets online hadn't been interested, and no one else thought about it. And in ( Read more... ) -
🎶I never knew that everything was falling through That everyone I knew was waiting on a cue🎶
🎶To turn and run when all I needed was the truth
But that's how it's got to be🎶
In the last 24 hours, I've found out who would give A.J. the drugs she would take to escape her pain and problems, give her a lift and help her cope when she couldn't be with me. It was the same person who got it for all of them, and there were a couple of others he got ( Read more... )
