"I am like a falling star who has finally found her place next to another in a lovely constellation, where we will sparkle in the heavens forever." -- Amy Tan

A very close friend of mine sent this to me. It really doesn't make much sense to the normal English ear, but once translated, it is absolutely amazing. Not only does it have beautifully written instrumentals, but the lyrics are that of something that can not be surpassed. It is so full of genuine emotion, I was absolutely blown away.

After a long fall
You climb back up
Look at the time to come
What will it hold?
You don't know it either
Will you get all you wanted?
And your head is full of worries
Keeps your body in chains
There will always be a tomorrow
Even after the longest night
Look up, at the sun
Don't look for an answer
Let it go, hold on to me
This road leads the way
It leads you to the future
This cloud is quickly floating by
Life shows you a turn
You can move on now
Feel the sun on your face
It's way past due
That you free yourself
See it in another light

And your head is full of worries
Keeps your body in chains
There will always be a tomorrow
Even after the longest night
Look up, at the sun
Don't look for an answer
Let it go, hold on to me
Look up, at the sun
Don't look for an answer
Let it go, hold on to me
This road leads the way
It leads you to the future
This cloud is quickly floating by
Cause this cloud is quickly floating by
Cause this cloud is quickly floating by

"Life is like a movie, if you've sat through more than half of it and its sucked every second so far, it probably isn't gonna get great right at the end and make it all worthwhile. No one should blame you for walking out early." --Doug Stanhope

I wish i could be happy. With something. Anything. I can't handle my daughter. I can't handle raising my brother. I can't handle the never ending chain of pretending everything is alright all day long, only to end up locked in the bathroom, crying so hard i can't breathe, with the shower on to muffle my cries, making enemies with the toilette. I can't handle my family, my friends. I can't stay home all the time, yet, I can't handle the stress of going out. Theres no way out now. I have no alternative. No escape route or get out of jail free card. I'm stuck. I'm living in a hell that I've created for myself. And I can't stop the flames from burning my body. I want nothing more than to rage quit on my life right now. Stop things before they get even worse. I'm desperate. Scared. Tired. Done.
