I Cried
Last night, I cried for the life I can't have.
I cried because of an absent-minded decision I made 5 years ago;
Believe me, I don't regret it. I'm just saying...
I wasn't thinking about how that would affect the rest of my life.
That every decision that's made would be made with you,
that with every step I take forward, you would pull me back another step.
I cried last night because I love you-- and because I hate you.
I cried because I am not me. I am who you and everyone else wants me to be.
I cried last night because I realized that if life were a movie,
I would be the character in someone else's story.
There would be no need to make my own story-- Where's the interest?
Where's the spark that makes the movie worth watching?
It's not there.
Last night, I cried because I hate myself. And no one can fix it.
Not that anyone would want to anyway.
But Today...
Today I am not searching to find my own story.
I am not thinking of decisons to be made.
Today, I am finding peace in my piece of shit life.
I will not cry today. I will make it through another day.
