Letting go is my life, I'll be on my way.

"As I started to picture the trees in the storm, the answer began to dawn on me.
The trees in the storm don't try to stand up straight and tall and erect.
They allow themselves to bend and be blown with the wind.
They understand the power of letting go.

Those trees and those branches that try too hard to stand up strong and straight are the ones that break.
Now is not the time for you to be strong, Julia, or you, too, will break."
- Julia Butterfly Hill

Armor For Sleep - Kind Of Perfect


Can I just be something,
Somewhere in your room,
That you won't notice.

Maybe I'll be paper,
Or books thrown on your floor,
Move me when you want to.

I'll live where you put me,
In your VCR,
If I become a cassette.

Or on top of your computer,
If that's where I would fit,
Then so be it.

But things can't be perfect,
All the time, that I know.
Sometimes we just have to let some things go.

I will not say one word,
I'll just hang around,
I won't annoy you at all.

When you move out I'll stay,
Until I'm thrown away,
But then it won't matter.

Things can't be perfect,
All the time, that I know.
Sometimes we just have to let some things go.

Because things can't be perfect,
All the time, that I know.
Sometimes we just have to let some things go.

I promise to stop now,
To stop now.
I promise to stop now,
To stop now.

But things can't be perfect,
All the time, that I know.
Sometimes we just have to let some things go.

Things can't be perfect,
All the time, that I know.
Sometimes we just have to let some things go.

Letting go is my life,
I'll be on my way..


Peace & love,

Said he'd seen my enemy, said he looked just like me.

Before saying my bit, here's a video I hope most of you would take the time to watch.
Especially those who failed their promotional examinations, or just need a sense of motivation to keep going. Don't give up.
"You can't beat the grim reaper by not dying. You beat the reaper by living well." - Dr. Randy Paush

"Even though you may not appreciate,
The concern I have for you will not depreciate.
And one day you will know,
That even when your sun stops to glow,
I'll be your shelter,
And make sure to pick you up whenever you falter."
- Me

They all tell me it's not worth it.
I tell them I know.
And I do know.
But, there's just a tiny part of me that says,
I'm not worth her.

I'm tired of this game.
I'm going to remain silent.
For the moment.

James Blunt - Same Mistake (Boyce Avenue Acoustic Cover)


So while I'm turning in my sheets
And once again I cannot sleep
Walk out the door and up the street
Look at the stars beneath my feet
Remember rights that I did wrong
So here I go

Uhuuuu uhuuuu uhuuuu

And so I sent some men to fight
And one came back at dead of night
Said he'd seen my enemy
Said he looked just like me
So I set out to cut myself
And here I go

Uhuuuu uhuuuu uhuuuu

I'm not calling for a second chance
I'm screaming at the top of my voice
Give me reason, but don't give me choice
Cause I'll just make the same mistake again

Uhuuuu

And maybe someday we will meet
And maybe talk but not just speak
Don't buy the promises cause
There are no promises I keep
And my reflection troubles me
So here I go

Uhuuuu uhuuuu uhuuuu

I'm not calling for a second chance
I'm screaming at the top of my voice
Give me reason, but don't give me choice
Cause I'll just make the same mistake

I'm not calling for a second chance
I'm screaming at the top of my voice
Give me reason, but don't give me choice
Cause I'll just make the same mistake again

Uhuuuu uhuuuu uhuuuu


Peace & love,
Lewis

Paint Me In Your Sunshine.

Dudley asked me the other day, "Why her?"
I answered him, "I seriously don't know.
"She wasn't supposed to be the person I thought I'd want to be with. Not the type of girl I'd ever thought to consider." I continued.
Then I looked at him and paused for a while.
"I seriously don't know why." I said thereafter laughing at myself.

Isn't this bullshit so confusing.
This thing we call "love".
Screw it.
It kills people.
It killed me.
It is killing me.
Talk about "Once bitten, twice shy. Thrice bitten you can go and die!"
Let me count: "One...two...three...four.... Oh dang, I should be dead."

And why do I even bother when I took so much trouble to get it, and she chucks it aside.
Why do I even bother...

Despite all that, I still question, "Is she the one?"

From the clip,
"Fine. Fine, take it. Because my head is filled with questions and I can assure you no answer to any one of them has ever brought me one iota of happiness. Except for one. The one. The only question I've ever wanted an answer to - is she the one? The answer bloody well isn't forty-two, it's yes. Undoubtedly, unequivocally, unabashedly yes. And for one week, one week in my sad little blip of an existence, it made me happy."

Marie Digby - Paint Me In Your Sunshine (Acoustic)


Paint me in your sunshine
Wake my sleepy eyes
Round me in your comfort
Stay with me for all of time

Reach your hand,
I'll follow
Darken clouds for your rays of hope

So paint me in your sunshine
Walk with me, stay by my side
Fill my head with stories
For love and war and glory

Reach your hand,
I'll follow
Light the path that will lead me home

Oh, oh, Home
Oh, oh, Home

One day the world will grow colder
Everything we've come to cherish crumbles
And only then will we turn back and remember your glow

Paint me in your sunshine
Leave the part of you behind
Tell me where I'll find you
And send me off to another day
Till we meet tomorrow

Reach your hand,
I'll follow
Hold me close till the day that I grow old

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
Mm, Hmm, Hmm, Hmm
Mm, Hmm, Hmm, Hmm


Peace & love,
Lewis
