Ultimately it's my Mom, thinking of her always stops me from SU.

and really come to understand the lesson you were taught,

Maybe that's what it's all about after all..."

Music, because it speaks louder than words can.. it can allow someone to hear how I am feeling without me saying a word.

My Mentor, and the fact that he's proud of me and always has been.. I'm not a disappointment to him, when I feel like I have been to everyone else. He helps me get through the day, and I strive to make him proud, even when he says he can't be more proud. I try in everything I do, so I don't prove what he's said about me to be false. To him, I am strong, I am intelligent, talented, driven, etc. I don't want to prove him a liar, so I try harder.

My Friends, because they let me know there is still some fun in the world.

To a degree all the asses I've dealt with in the past.. because I want to prove to them.. that they know jackshit and that I am better than what they've said.. and I will be a better person.

Music is life.. we each have our own symphony.. and we control it for the most part.. sometimes instruments drop out.. and others join in.. but when the music fades and the symphony is done.. then we have created a beautiful, personal piece. - Me.

In Which Something Oooh Occurred

And it felt like a winter machine that you go through and then you catch your breath and winter starts again, and everyone else was springbound. And when I chose to live, there was no joy, it's just a line I crossed. I wasn't worth the pain my death would cost, so I was not lost or found....But when you live in a world, well, it gets in to who you th ought you'd be. And now I laugh at how the world changed me. I think life chose me after all.

it's hard to answer the question whats wrong, when nothing is 'right'
Not all scars show. Not all wounds heal. Sometimes you cant always see the pain someone feels

My sister. She relies on me just as much as I rely on her. And my little brother. He looks up to me, trusts me with things that he won't talk to anyone else about, and turns to me when things are worst.

I keep trying because I love them both and I want to be there for them.
Please be gentle with me.

i want to be proud of myself
and i don't want to let anyone down

i want to live my life having experienced everything possible
and have no regrets

i took steps to be happy
and sometimes that included pushing myself to do some things i wasn't sure of

it was worth it :blush:

because deep down I *know* I can do this
because not trying woulkd prove everyone who ever told me i cant do it right
because there has to be a better life out there somewhere.
Only ever look back to see how far you've come.

The hope that maybe someone will love me again.
