blinded




last night i cried
not because i was bleeding
but because i was broken

i've lived a full life
at least 19 years so far
but i've got a long ways to go


a lot more mistakes
a lot more victories
a lot more memories,

last night i cried.
because i miss people.
i long for them to be back

i miss my Grandma
i miss Kaylie Jean
i miss being with my brothers
i miss Rom and Ev and Corey
i miss Dan
i miss Vocal Point
i missed out on a lot of things
but, i don't regret

i couldn't see most of the time
i always wanted to do do do
when i needed to think think think

now i'm here crying still
wishing to do it right
to try it again
to see if i can't win
but then again

they've all moved on
i'm here,
waiting
missing

my tears block out words
and thoughts and light

i'm blinded and i'm sorry i didn't do it all right.



but life isn't about where you've been!!!!
it's about where you're going!!!
my direction now is straight
it is simple
yet next to impossible
that is why i am on this road now
because the past is what we use to better

the future

fate hope dreams inspiration
words thoughts beings aspirations
these are what life is about

joy laughter looks glances
moments times touches
this is what life is about

'was blind but now i see'

:) i like it. I think that way, too. I think we're very similar in our DO DO DO kind of mentalities...
