Little pebbles of pointless criticism
Adorn my dull facade
Crippled by my own neglect
Killing myself by simply missing sleep
Only a nap heals my headaches
Forgetful and bleary, I attempt to focus
Sliding along with bursts of awakeness
Luckily, I can get by
Even though it is ridiculously difficult
Exact measures are out of the question
Perhaps it is time for some self-discipline

Someday
Someday I hope to be a Someone
Going out and doing things that Somebodies do
Whether it falls to saving the world
Creating a cause, or making something new
I wish to plaster my name Somewhere
Have it stark and barren for all
No matter the ink or the height of the letters
So long as it's sturdy and will never fall
I'd love to be a figure in history
People would look back at the way
I did great things, how I changed the world
I would forever be remembered Someday
But it's a fearful possibility
That I could be a Nobody
Who goes Nowhere, does Nothing
And finds that there is no way
For my dreams to be more than
A wish for Someday
Going out and doing things that Somebodies do
Whether it falls to saving the world
Creating a cause, or making something new
I wish to plaster my name Somewhere
Have it stark and barren for all
No matter the ink or the height of the letters
So long as it's sturdy and will never fall
I'd love to be a figure in history
People would look back at the way
I did great things, how I changed the world
I would forever be remembered Someday
But it's a fearful possibility
That I could be a Nobody
Who goes Nowhere, does Nothing
And finds that there is no way
For my dreams to be more than
A wish for Someday

Dizzy
It isn't the room that spins; it's my head
Zoom! I hear it inside my ears
My eyes flick in an oddly shaped circle
Following the path my mind makes
I can't stand up; the high pressure
Would kill me
So I sit and I twirl
Both at once
The correct impossibility of this anomaly
Simply wraps reason into a ball of yarn
Then pulls one end
Until it is spinning in place
Like I am
Zoom! I hear it inside my ears
My eyes flick in an oddly shaped circle
Following the path my mind makes
I can't stand up; the high pressure
Would kill me
So I sit and I twirl
Both at once
The correct impossibility of this anomaly
Simply wraps reason into a ball of yarn
Then pulls one end
Until it is spinning in place
Like I am

Memory - from Cats the Broadway Musical
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-L6rEm0rnY&feature=fvw
GRIZABELLA:
Memory, turn your face to the moonlight
Let your memory lead you
Open up, enter in
If you find there the meaning of what happiness is
Then a new life will begin
Memory, all alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days
I was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again
Burnt out ends of smokey days
The stale cold smell of morning
The street lamp dies, another night is over
Another day is dawning
Daylight, I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I mustn't give in
When the dawn comes tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin
SILLABUB:
Sunlight, through the trees in summer
Endless masquerading
GRIZABELLA AND SILLABUB:
Like a flower as the dawn is breaking
GRIZABELLA:
The memory is fading
Touch me, it's so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory
Of my days in the sun
If you touch me you'll understand what happiness is
Look, a new day has begun

I Don't Care
Why should it hurt me when you don't say
Where you are and why you're away?
It ought not to be painful to be ignored
I understand if you are simply bored
It's sinful to worry about where you could be
When your phone won't pick up, it shan't matter to me
I've done the same thing and you said you were fine
It didn't hurt your feelings, so it shouldn't hurt mine
I guess how I worried would make you stare
But it's hard to pretend
That I don't
Care

Honesty
Honesty
Was Never The Best Policy
the one who told you that
Lied
Living your life without lies
(In our Society)
Is committing suicide
In So Many Ways
Through the tangled reeds of the modern river
We cannot always slash our way through
Often we must Bend
Honesty is gold; honesty is the snow leopard
Your truthfulness is sickening
Gross
It is refreshing and eye-widening
You create the hole through which I can fit
My Truth
And I like it.

A Song For A Friend
Living through feelings no single way
Numbed by the punches you get in the fray
The darker feelings outweigh the good
So you do what you need to, but not what you should
Everyone seems to be higher than you
So you take a step up, 'cause what else can you do?
Chorus:
Feel yourself fall
Who could have known
That to fly so high
You would have to face
The opposite side?
You try to get better and stronger and happier with yourself
You strain with your last thought for the unreachable star
Who knew that to rise to high
you'd fall so far?
Nothing is working; you're less than before
They hands you a hot coal and you can't let go
Tears fall without effort yet deny you relief
It's okay for a moment, but the time is too brief
Sadness runs through your veins but feels like glass shards
You can't play the game if they won't give you the cards
Your personal Richter scale is at about ten
The feeling's euphoric up until when you
Chorus

The darker feelings outweigh the good

Ditz
The absence of brain cells
Is a particular anomaly I do not, personally,
Possess.
However
To please those who are missing several of theirs
Occasionally I shall act
In accordance
With the attitude of one
Who has no brain
Is a particular anomaly I do not, personally,
Possess.
However
To please those who are missing several of theirs
Occasionally I shall act
In accordance
With the attitude of one
Who has no brain
