do you sometimes feel like you're in this alone?
that if life throws you one more thing you won't be able to cope?

this last week at school was a disaster, and as much as i hate it -
i have to stick with it.
the teachers may be awful, the projects aren't always going to be fun, people aren't going to always like your work. i learned that the tough way yesterday while i sat patiently in the 3rd row while up in front (on a huge screen) stood my work for the entire class to critique. i got knots in my stomach as people started to talk - it was all good criticism but all i wanted to do was run and hide (or at least turn in everything like it was, because i couldn't bring myself to fix anything)

and while that's only one part of my life that is a struggle, there's a lot more to my story. i'm the type of person that if i get stressed out enough and then someone throws me one more thing to deal with...i break. my shell isn't as strong as i THINK it is, and can i just admit - - i hate when i'm wrong about myself.

these lyrics might not have anything to do with what i just wrote, but i love it anyways! it's off jon mcluaghlin's new cd. the man is amazing, his cd is great - - i suggest you purchase it now.


COME ON, COME ON
YOU HAVE GOT TO MOVE ON
THIS IS NOT THE YOU I KNOW
THIS ISN'T REAL
IT'S JUST ALL YOU CAN FEEL
AND THAT'S THE WAY THAT FEELINGS GO
AND WHETHER OR NOT IT'S RIGHT
OR WRONG YOU'LL DO WHAT YOU WILL DO
WHEN THE CLOUD IN THE SKY STARTS TO POUR
AND YOUR LIFE IS JUST A STORM YOU'RE BRAVING
DON'T TELL YOURSELF YOU CAN'T LEAN ON
SOMEONE ELSE CAUSE WE ALL NEED SAVING SOMETIMES
SAY WHAT YOU WILL BUT THE TIME THAT
WE FILL WHILE WE'RE ON THE EARTH SHOULD NOT BE ALONE
WE WERE MEANT TO BE KNOWN
YOU MAKE ME WHAT I'M WORTH
BUT I CAN'T KEEP YOU FROM YOURSELF YOU'LL DO WHAT YOU WILL DO
I DON'T KNOW WHY IT HAS TO BE THIS WAY AND I DON'T KNOW THE CURE
BUT PLEASE BELIEVE SOMEONE HAS FELT THIS BEFORE
