It seems like forever
Or maybe a day
When my life was severed
I knew I'd have to pay

I didn't know
What was wrong
I didn't know
Until that song

I was thrown into a sea
Of confusion and pain
What's been done to me
I'll never be the same

I'm happy
Happy as can be
Nothing sappy
It's just what you see

On the inside
I'm surrounded by pain
Just trying to hide
I'm going insane

I used to be normal
Just like you
Now I'm different
There's nothing I can do

I guess this is just about the last year. I went through a lot and I'm a completely different person now.

Faith is like learning to walk; you have to fall at first, but don't stay down. When in doubt, don't stop believing.

"Writing, I think, is not apart from living. Writing is a kind of double living. The writer experiences everything twice. Once in reality and once in the mirror which waits always before or behind."
