time to go to bed
but i can't sleep
tried American Beauty
it was too damn deep
can no longer lose myself in
silly old shows
feeling there's so much I
"just don't know"
have no more opinions
no more distrust
more breakthroughs
more sunshine
more passion
more lust
but something has left me
the feeling of peace
of knowing my knowledge
would steadily increase
by "nature"
through "parents"
through "teachers"
and "school"
through giving up freedom and
following the rules
rules
like time
to go to bed
but really,
is time the boss of my head?


no i will NOT wait three seconds!

American Beauty...too deep?  God, I hope not.  Though, I will agree that time is neither the boss of my head.  Great line, as is your sig.

May not be the boss of your head, but sure seems to rule everything else.

both are incredible movies, just not for 3 am when you have to work in the morning. that time for me tends to be a bit depressing, so i try to think lightly, watch comedy shows or something, but that's tough these days.

thanks for your replies!
