Interesting read: [Are we losing our minds?] (thanks to google? I know I just about am. I’m upsessed with translating words on goosh haha. so fun.)

While we’re on the subject of losing our minds…good poem.

Solitude
By Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Laugh, and the world laughs with you;
Weep, and you weep alone;
For the sad old earth must borrow its mirth,
But has trouble enough of its own.
Sing, and the hills will answer;
Sigh, it is lost on the air;
The echoes bound to a joyful sound,
But shrink from voicing care.

 
Rejoice, and men will seek you;
Grieve, and they turn and go;
They want full measure of all your pleasure,
But they do not need your woe.
Be glad, and your friends are many;
Be sad, and you lose them all,—
There are none to decline your nectared wine,
But alone you must drink life’s gall.

 
Feast, and your halls are crowded;
Fast, and the world goes by.
Succeed and give, and it helps you live,
But no man can help you die.
There is room in the halls of pleasure
For a large and lordly train,
But one by one we must all file on
Through the narrow aisles of pain.

My sentiments exactly.

Apathy and my own dead visions
leave open and sickly festering wounds
in the heart impossible to mend.

And when my anathema soul, when
it comes to its last, predestined place,
all it can find for miles is nothing.

It journeys without end, forever,
in the hope that there might be a star
in the sky so dark and yet so bright.

I believe in shooting stars,
shooting them, meaning destroy.

Pinning them so they can’t fly,
dust to dust they live and die

for’er and never glow again,
heart manumitted from pain.

Its quite interesting, Coldplay’s music integrates piano very nicely. Maybe I’ll be able to do something when I can afford a good keyboard. Hmm. I really like their new single, Viva la vida. I never really liked their other music but theres some quality to this song that makes me feel really good. Hmm. The lyrics are based on the french revolution apparently. Probably about Louis.

Even my music is against me. Geez. Haha. emomuch? maybe. whatever.

So here I sit looking at the traffic lights
The red extinguishes the hope that the green ignites
I want to run away I want to ditch my life
Cause all of my mistakes keep me awake at night

And after all of my alibis desert me
I just want to get by
I don’t want nothing to hurt me
I had no idea where my head was at
But if my heart says I’m sorry can we leave it at that
Because I just want for all of this to end

Relient K ftw
