I can't believe how I've been wasting my time

Mar 10, 2006 06:13

So. I'm going to brainstorm for my term paper here.

My thesis: people will kill/destroy/wish to kill/destroy anything that makes them wish they were someone else--otherwise, they'll make justifications for why they wish to be themselves. This is supported by Silence of the Lambs, Frankenstein, Bladerunner, and many countless other pieces of literature, as well as the existence of a plethora of infamous quotes from countless people like Eleanor Roosevelt--"no one can make you feel inferior without your consent." This isn't about ego, or superiority; this is about desperation to be ourselves, to have reason to be ourselves, to have reason to be themselves so they can go on, and live, as themselves. This drives people to achieve more, to be more, more, better, better, higher, higher--be the best at something, anything, be them. Reason.

Bleurbleurbleur. :3

Does it matter whether I believe it or not? It's a good thesis to write about, as I've already written 475 words on it in less than 45 minutes.



"24"
Been given 24 hours
To tie up loose ends
To make amends
His eyes said it all
I started to fall
And the silence deafened
Head spinning round
No time to sit down
Just wanted to
Run and run and run
Be careful they say
Don't wish life away,
Now I've one day

And I can't believe
How I've been wasting my time

In 24 hours they'll be
Laying flowers
On my life, it's over tonight
I'm not messing no I
Need your blessing
And your promise to live free
Please do it for me

Is there a heaven a hell
And will I come back
Who can tell
Now I can see
What matters to me
It's as clear as crystal
The places I've been
The people I've seen
Plans that I made
Start to fade
The sun's setting gold
Thought I would grow old,
It wasn't to be

And I can't believe
How I've been wasting my time

In 18 hours they'll be
Laying flowers
On my life, it's over tonight
I'm not messing no I
Need your blessing
And your promise to live free
Please do it for me

In 13 hours they'll be
Laying flowers
On my life, it's over tonight
I'm not messing no I
Need your blessing
And your promise to live free
Please do it for me

I'm not alone, I sense it, I sense it
All that I said, I meant it, I meant it

And I can't believe
How much I've wasted my time

In just 8 hours they'll be
Laying flowers
On my life, it's over tonight
I'm not messing no I
Need your blessing
And your promise to live free
Please do it for me

In just 1 hour they'll be
Laying flowers
On my life, it's over tonight
I'm not messing no I
Need your blessing
And your promise to live free
Please do it for me

ramble, school
