Time to Reflect.

I need something to believe in
cuz I don’t believe in my self
I'm sick and tired of getting no where
guess it’ll all work out
And I don’t mind any more


As I sat peacefully in the library letting my essay on voting systems pass me by completely, I lost myself. I sat surrounded by people but had never felt more alone in my life. The air around me felt empty and the glances sent my way were full of pity and compassion.

Time to reflect:
So much to say
But no words to convey
The loneliness building with each passing day
But I’m getting used to it, you have to get used to it


I've grown weak and tired. I can no longer face trying to please people before thinking of myself. I feel so drained of all the energy and life I used to carry. A good friend of mine, in fact she's one of the best as she's stuck by me, told me to start being more selfish, taking myself into accout above others as I've done enough of thinking of other people. Well you know she's right but she also knows its one of the hardest things I've been ever asked to do. I have no idea what has happened to me this past month or two. I walk with my head down and I drag my feet. I used to be full of confidence and energy but now, its all been sucked out of me.
All i want is to be able to say that I'm happy. Without having to fake a smile or hold back tears while i'm lying through my teeth. I've spent too long lying to myself and my family and friends. Through it all I've lost some friends who I realized were no longer worthy of my trust nor are they capable of supporting me. I wish someone would take the time to sit by me and hear my story instead of thinking I have a heart of stone and that I just don't care about anyone but myself. I want them to see the truth.

I see it in your eyes, you'll be alright

I want you to see that I'm hurting, that I'm struggling. I want you to see my tears fall so that you realize I'm human too. I want you to know that I want so hard to please you and live up to your expectations but i can't.
In time things will return to normal, but until then all I need is support.

But I get carried away
with every phrase and made up malady
The longer I hide behind these lies,
The more I disintegrate

So much to say
But no words to convey
The loneliness building with each passing day
You never get used to it, you just have to live with it.



lyrics from: 'I need something' by Newton Faulkner and 'Broken Heart' by Motion City Soundtrack.
