#62 Instead Of Me
It seems like my purpose in life is always to fall. It seems like I always hit a brick wall.
Why is it that the dark never ends? Why am I the one that always bends?
I try so hard for your love, But all I get is a shove.
It seems like all I do is try, But I end up in my room and cry.
The tears burn down my face, And I look for your warm embrace.
But I am here all alone, It feels like no light has ever shone.
Because you are not there, You are unaware.
That I cannot find, The way. It's like I'm blind, And there is no day.
Only night, Still I fight. For you to see,
That I will never be, The daughter you dream instead of me.
The light seems so far away, The words seem so hard to say.
I don't know where to start. Maybe I love you with all my heart.
There is just too much to say sorry about,
Maybe I should start with all the times I've shout.
Or maybe the times I've made you sad, I never meant to be bad.
I am sorry for being in the way, I wish that I was clay.
Then I could mold, Into something you would hold.
I want you to see how hard I try, But it seems like all I do is make you cry.
I'm sorry I ruin plans, But I want you to understand.
And except me. Because I could never be,
The daughter you wished for, The daughter you could love more.
I'm sorry for the way I act, But I want you to know a fact.
That I try for you to see, That I am trying to be,
The daughter you dream instead of me.
There are as many nights as days, and the one is just as long as the
other in the year's course. Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and
the word 'happy' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.
--Carl Jung
I seldom think about my limitations, and they never make me sad. Perhaps there is just
a touch of yearning at times; but it is vague, like a breeze among flowers.
--Helen Keller

Beginnings are scary. Endings are usually sad, but it's what's in the
middle that counts. So, when you find yourself at the beginning, just give hope a chance
to float up. And it will.
--Birdee Pruitt (Sandra Bullock) Hope Floats
Sadness flies away on the wings of time.
