Things I Wish I'd Say
Her eyes are cold and blue with stife
Her heart is whet for better life
But this child is living my quiet dream
Her hair is thick and brushed aside
Her tears are where realities collide
But this child’s never heard me scream
Her confusion’s so invisible
Beneath her demeanor, invincible
She’s where I was before my soul grew old
If she only knew, I think
Her cheeks so youthful and so pink
Are smiling when my world is harshly cold
She’s a thousand laughs I never knew
She’s a silver lining when I am blue
She’s paddling her canoe upon a lake
Her heart is steady, but it wants so much
She wishes for her own good luck
While my ship upon the stormy seas will break
She’s dying to grow up, it seems
She’s tearing at her childhood seams
But I’ve traveled to every place inside my head
Her pain and joy are unashamed
It’s everything to her, she's claimed
This life she breathes to me when I am dead
I went out to Sal's with my dad for pizza and then I went to Barnes and Nobles with Liz. It was pretty fun and I got three books, including an autographed copy of the new Laurie Halse Anderson book! Sweet! And one about sex...
Track starts tomorrow. I think I'm gonna die. I'll definitely be the slowest person on the team but even worse than that I don't know if I can make it without barfing. I need to do this to get in shape. I absolutely will not let myself gain any weight from my new meds!!!
