it goes on, this life of mine, whether I pursue it or not...
funny how that works like a tick out of time with the clock
I don't have a special way to say this but I see grains of sand
in my dreams sifting their way down like an emptying sack
and that's my life I think... that's what it all comes down to you see

Is that fair of me to hold myself to a ( Read more... )

It was hesitation on the edge of inspiration.
It was not wanting to fall when you should have given your all
It was slow motion moments that turned into torments

Happiness

my heart's breaking between one beat and the next
I'm closing my eyes against the glare of the screen and taking a deep breath

I listen to this talk radio show call Your Time with Kim Iverson on my way home from work sometimes.  It's occasionally interesting and I like supporting a radio personality that's a woman - oh my!  However, today I couldn't quite believe what I heard come out of this girl's mouth.  I say girl because she was born in the 80's and that always makes ( Read more... )
