If I had just one wish
I'd wish to be free
Wish to be away from this misery
Wish to stand tall
Without the urge to jump from this balcony
Wish to smile
The depths of my mind...
Empty

Flip a quarter just to decide my fate
Heads I'll be on my way home, be there just in time
Tails I'll take my time, and end up late
I'm wishing on this star
Take me somewhere far
Too far for me to trudge on back
Take me where my troubles drown
The deepest ocean to be found
I don't care if its cold
I'll shiver in bliss
Feel my heart smother with a
Hiss

On that day when you remember my smile
See the butterfly carry your heart
Feel the silver on your neck
I'll be no where near
The irony will cause me to bleed
And I will cry silently
I never took heed
Never understood
Love is a scar

Bare it well.

"Everything has its beauty but not everyone sees it."

"Hold faithfulness and sincerity as first principles."

-Confucius

I understand this too well right now to offer any meaningful insight. I keep telling myself that it won't always feel this way, but saying it hasn't made me believe it. Just please don't let either heads or tails ever become that balcony.

Poignant write.
