Louis Sachar

But don’t forget who you really are. And I’m not talking about your so-called real name. All names are made up by someone else, even the one your parents gave you. You know who you really are. When you’re alone at night, looking up at the stars, or maybe lying in your bed in total darkness, you know that nameless person inside you…Your muscles will toughen. So will your heart and soul. That’s necessary for survival. But don’t lose touch with that person deep inside you, or else you won’t really have survived at all.

I know when something has affected me in a very strong way when I can't write about it. Soon though...in due time I will be able to not only write about it, but I won't be able to suffer from it either. Healing is such a wonderful thing to look forward too.

Superbowl

The Patriots lost to the Giants tonight...for the second time. Smh.

Close to perfect.

I can't breathe
We were drowning with our chins up
But now you're gone
And I'm alone
I'm underwater
I thought you were the rock making me sink
But in reality
You were the support helping me float
I'm overwhelmed
By my feelings
Lost in my thoughts
Nothing makes sense
And I can't figure out what I want
Who am I?
Just like our relationship
It goes from being about us, to me.
I'm a basket case
Messed up beyond belief
I'm a lost cause
But you like it
I tell you all the dirt
And you look for the worth
I tell you how flawed I am
You tell me that I'm weird, but beautiful
I cry over the pressure life puts on me
You wipe my tears and try to ease the pain
I can't breathe
And I can't let myself need you
If you're my oxygen
My pride will make me go without air
We were drowning with our chins up
Slow dancing in a burning room
You. Are. Important to me.
So important to me
That you take my breath away
I. Can't. Breathe.
I'm drowning
And you're not here
Just a phone call away
But yet so out of reach
I don't know how I feel
And the lack of oxygen
Prevents me from thinking
My brain won't work
And I don't have words
For the way my heart races when you're around
And the way you move against me when we sleep
The way you kiss my cheeks when I cry
I don't know how I feel
But what I do know
Is that I can't breathe
I'm overwhelmed
And if you're my air
My pride will leave me breathless
Breathless and alone
The perfect relationship.
