I posted this a little over a year ago, and in light of George Carlin’s passing I feel it is only appropriate to repost it.
This one is for you, George.
Sometimes I surprise myself with the things I’ve written and how even though I wrote something so long ago it still fits my current situation right now. Thats when you know it’s good.

-Rain-
It rained the night I saw you dressed up in your homecoming dress…
It rained the night I found out about the feelings and the kiss…
It rained the night we ended what we both thought was so great…
It rained the night I told you about the ring you never saw…
It rained each night to wash away the tears I couldnt keep inside.

Rain is funny like that isn’t it?
So I was cleaning out my room today and I found my little black book of poems/lyrics that I used to carry around and write the things that came into my head. Most of the things were written over a year ago, to help me keep my mind clear from all the emotions I felt for one reason or another.

I was surfing through my vault of entries for this blog and I stumbled across this quote. I still believe that this statement is true.
I now wanted to say that I dont believe it has to be personal experience. Learning from the experiences of others- the good, the bad, and the ugly.
The faces in the crowds all look the same
because all I can see is her
Even though I know she’s not out there tonight
I still wish she were here
“I know what you want
But you’ll just have to wait.
If I had it to give
Id give it away
Im livin it up,
But Im fallen from grace There’s No Way
There’s No Way That Im running away.”
-Breaking Benjamin
And Im really at odds as to what to say. Anyways- this ones for you even though, well… we’re not the same we were so long ago.
My heart goes out to you, I know its not easy. People and parents can be frustrating, but I know you’re a strong person at the end of the day. Im not going tell you that you need to give more effort, because honestly its not you thats not trying. But there is something I will tell you. In tough times, there are people around you that will give you strength- your friends, your boyfriend, your sister, and your church. There are times I still wish I were one of these people, but at the end of the day we’re so far apart from eachother on so many levels. (But this isnt about me)
I’ll end this with something I wrote long ago, when we were together and you went through something similar to what you’re going through now. Hopefully it will make you feel atleast a little bit better.
The wish I make tonight

*Verse 1*
Some people say this is the way it’s supposed to be
But is this how life is supposed to be?
I can’t watch things play out this way
and now there’s only one thing left to say…
*Chorus*
If I could I would take you away
From the life you live and show you a bright new day.
No more living with pain and no more crying nights,
This is the wish I make tonight.
I wish I may, I wish I might give you this wish I wish tonight
*Verse 2*
I wish I could be your hero, your superman
and make the other people undersand
that they cant treat you this way
someday, someday they’ll see, but until then-
*Repeat Chorus*
*Verse 3*
No more pain and no more tears,
I want to give you a life with no fear.
I love you and I always will
and on that alone my wish will be fulfilled
*Repeat Chorus*
