Not (Good) Enough For a Love Song

[queen_sindel]

It is a hit or miss. Life. Love. And GOOD no longer prevails. It turns out that it never has. Who has the power, the fame, the final word to change things? The subway guitarist trying to promote peace with his melodies? Or the politico man with the big office and evil ways? That's what I thought. Who gets the engagement ring on her finger along

No one ever wins, good or bad. That's the fucking madness of it. Everyone is unhappy. Everyone is sad. At least, that the way it feels.

I know how you're feeling. It's not exactly the same, it may not even be close but I do know.

I wish life was easier. I wish you could choose what to feel and what not to feel but that's what got me where I am today, wishing.

I'm afraid I don't have any advice...if you come across any share with the class, okay?

I don't know man. Why do we exist, why are we all alive if we are all unhappy?

Hopefully I would never succumb to this but I really, really fucking understand why people become drug & alcohol addicts. Sometimes it seems like physically altering your mind is the only way out..

I only wish it were easy for me to be a bit more selfish, to think of myself first, and try to take care of ME. I know that seems easy but it's not. And when I feel people are not acting at least half that way towards me, or especially when I feel that they don't appreciate that about me, that makes me very, very unhappy(ier). And I feel worthless and all that eats away at my self-esteem.

(Maybe I should become a nurse, or a social worker. At least I'd be getting paid, if not appreciated, for my selflessness.)

I wonder though...if I were to act more selfish, if I would be happy then?

sigh.

Perception is reality.
It's hard to see.
But I never change.
It's always you, and always for the better.
I was perfect before I met you.
Was perfect through out.
And am still here waiting for the rest of yall to show up.
You still have some growing to do.
Growing that doesn't include me, apparently.
You do exactly what you want at all times, no matter what.
There are no victims.
There are no winners.
There are no martyrs.
There are no farters.
safety is a doorknob on a flagpole
bucket
(PS... i have a GIFT FOR U)

No, my darling (and I don't even know why I'm replying to you when you will not understand anyway). Your truth is just that, YOUR version of what is happening. It doesn't necessarily mean that it is the correct truth (or that it is the wrong truth). But it does mean that you do not get to force that upon others, and get angry and irrational when people might not believe YOUR version.

And people do not do exactly what they want all the time. They might do what they see fit, they might do what they think may be right - but they do not always do what they want
