grief

I hurt inside.
Grief is like a physical ache.
Inside your chest
Your heart really hurts.
A stab
Like a wound
Except there's no blood
To show to the world.

Grief is grief
Its your own pain
No one else sees it the same,
Grief hurts;
So unbearably,
Except with no wound;
You can't bleed to death
And find sweet release.

therapy, me, thoughts, checking out early :-p, poem

One of the first comments on this YouTube video is someone saying they can't stop thinking of Zoe in Firefly after listening to this... Well after that comment neither could I... Fits perfectly.. which is strange considering its written well before Firefly was even made!
I can't remember whether we've ever had this conversation; but you've watched Firefly right?

I've seen Serenity, and it possessed elements of interest, but I've never watched Firefly, largely because I never felt the need:  My friend agilebrit was a HUGE Joss Whedon groupie and discussed that whole universe at length.  (Odd, that a society so heavily influenced by China should have so few ethnic Chinese in it…)

I suppose I should do, but I'm NOT a Whedonoid, and I skated right off Buffy &c. because I found the writing, the self-consciously “hip” dialogue particularly, to be very annoying - and I saw enough of that in Serenity to know that he hadn't changed.  But I did like the movie.

Firefly is available on DVD; if you recommend it, I may pick it up, but I have no idea when I'd watch it:  I have DVDs here I haven't even opened yet, still in their shrinkwrap.
Edit:  It makes an interesting variant on the old ( ... )

Hmm probably I shouldn't condone this... but "buy" DVD....
If you can get hold of it (and I suppose as a discontinued show it may be cheap), watch it because the later episodes become really interesting. By watching Serenity; you kind of already know the ending I suppose. But some of the characters in that show were very likeable. And the episodes showed a lot of variety. It was quality sci-fi in my opinion. But anything you watch too critically will suffer.
