twilight fades through blistered avalon the sky's cruel torch on arching autobahn into the uncertain divine we scream into the last divine you make me real you make me real strong as i feel you make me real sheila rides on crashing nightingale intake eyes leave passing vapor trails with blushing brilliance alive because it's time to arrive you make me real you make me real strong as i feel you make me real lately I just can't seem to believe discard my friends to change the scenery it meant the wrold to hold a bruising faith but now it's just a matter of grace a summer storm graces all of me highway warm sing silent poetry I could bring you the light and take you home into the night you make me real lately I just can't seem to believe you make me real discard my friends to change the scenery strong as i feel it meant the world to hold a bruising faith you make me real but now it's just a matter of grace
I pray they let out or talk it out
She would give me a wink across the room
I would have made a really good lawyer
I always had a really good strategy for putting things back on the wall of the hoser
Thank god it was the god damned wall
I would have to hide all my valuables (we were the feminine forces)
Who would calm my mother down?
Who would calm me down once I talked her through it?
My mother and I would pray for peace
It was a full time job I would send my mother directly to bed
Do not collect 200
We'd talked about it till 5am when I'd come visiting her 5 years later (I'd visit 5 years later)
We would pray for peace
It was most comfortable and familiar
No Regrets ... Growth. Give yourself credit.
Everybody is different. Their view of you may not be correct.
Does it really matter? Who matters? You.
Who do you love? What do you know that no else knows? Take a chance.
Talk, listen, cry. You know how to laugh. Make a fool of yourself. Honesty.
Enjoy the highs, appreciate the lows ... they are humbling.
Learn, learn about you. Be aware. Patience. Be Positive. Be hopeful.
Don't ever let anyone destroy who you are and what you believe.
Be open to change and evolution. Accept. Reach out. Ask questions. Hear the
answers. Are they right?
Live for the moment but anticipate the future. A good one. You deserve it.
Work very hard. Don't stop. Admit weakness ... your strengths will speak for
themselves.
Use your gifts. Yes, you have gifts. Forgive. Let go. Swallow your pride.
But spit it up when you're done to make sure it's still intact.
Be gentle. Strong. kiss. kissing is wonderful.
keep a promise. Conquer a fear. Don't be perfect, be excellent. Falter.
Balance. Be grateful. Be real.
Never give up. Don't be afraid. I believe in you.
Alanis Morissette (August 1992)
