Stained Glass Windows

sooner or later, the truth always comes out. 
it doesn't even matter what that truth is 
anything
everything
friends, family, boys, girls
lies 
truth
it is all so obvious
why don't we see it
i hate lies
i hate the truth
life is complicated
i like to cry
but not when its not on my terms
this makes me complicated
today i met a boy
not a boy boy
but a boy
i already knew him 
but today i met him
the real him
the one that scares me
the one that makes me angry
the one that makes me feel unworthy
yet the one who has meant the most to me in a while
the one who actually inspired me to do something different
today i ran
down a parking structure 
in pajamas
yes pajamas
i need help
i have a problem
the problem is i don't love myself
i don't love what i have become
i try so hard to love
to love everyone else
and i love them so much
that they always have to let me down 
because i'm looking
looking for someone to be perfect
to make up for what i can't have
no, what i just don't have
i want it, and you know what?
i'm going to get it.
right now
sooner or later, the truth always comes out.

The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow

"The sun will come out tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow
There will be sun!
Just thinking about tomorrow
Clears away the cobwebs and the sorrow
Until there is none!"

Why do we, as human beings, 
allow ourselves to be so optimistic?
The glass is half full.
'Tis better to have loved and lost 
than never to have loved at all.
Anything is possible.
Every cloud has a silver lining.

Seriously guys? 
I mean I know it is one thing to 
try and be happy sometimes, 
but why do so many people 
have to be happy all the time? 
It is unrealistic, 
and it makes happiness a less meaningful experience. 
If you never face feelings of regret, sadness or sorrow,
then when good things happen, 
your feelings stay the same as they were.

Happiness should be a feeling that flows 
in an out of your veins like a drug. 
It should have the power to cause irrational behavior 
and cause humans to act differently towards 
not only other people, but
towards themselves as well.

On the other hand, 
if you absolutely adore the feelings of disappointment and sadness, 
then by all means... Try to be happy all the time. 
Eventually it will sneak up behind you. 
These feelings will creep in your window, 
and find their way into your head.
Remember when you were focusing on something 
so intently that everything around you just disappeared? 
That is how these horrible feelings will somehow 
manage to locate themselves inside you.

I, I am one of THOSE people. 
I try to be happy all the time. 
I try to please others because I have convinced myself 
that this is what I want.
I need people to like me. 
I need people to love me. 
By attempting to have everyone have these 
oh so passionate feelings towards me, I have
lost the feeling to accept love at all. 
I pretend that people care, when the truth is, 
they don't. 
I form relationships inside my brain and even
convince myself that there is hope.

This blog is going to be the change of me, 
the birth of a new me, and the death of the old me. 
This blog is going to be my escape from myself
and my own lies. This blog is going to be... me.
