Middle of Your Song

You must have been in a place so dark, you couldn't feel the light
Reachin' for you through that stormy cloud
Now here we are gathered in our little home town
This can't be the way you meant to draw a crowd

Oh, why?
That's what I keep askin'
Was there anything I could have said or done?
Oh, I had no clue you were maskin' a troubled soul
God only knows what went wrong
And why you would leave the stage in the middle of a song

Now in my mind I keep you frozen as a seventeen year old
Rounding third to score the winning run
You always played with passion no matter what the game
When you took the stage you shined just like the sun

Oh, why?
That's what I keep askin'
And, was there anything I could have said or done?
Oh, I had no clue you were maskin' the troubled soul
Oh, god only knows what went wrong
And why you would leave the stage in the middle of a song
Yeah...

Now the oak trees are swayin' in the early autumn breeze
A golden sun is shining on my face
Through tangled thoughts I hear, a mockingbird sing
This old world really ain't that bad a place

Oh, why?
There's no comprehending
And who am I to try to judge or explain?
Oh, but I do have one burning question:
Who told you life wasn't worth the fight?
They were wrong
They lied
And now you're gone
And we cry

'Cause it's not like you to walk away in the middle of a song

Your beautiful song
Your absolutely beautiful song

The party we hoped for...

{Source: pinterest & the notebook doodles}

As humans we are quick to whine about what's going wrong...

It's seemingly easier that way.

But we forget that the world owes us nothing...

Yet delivers simple pleasures each and every day.

Maybe it's time to open our eyes

Swim in the sunshine...

Hug the ones we love..

&& smile.

Why?

Because there are some people out there...

Who don't have that luxury.

The Island we find ourself on...

Warning, this is a very raw, honest entry that I wrote last year...

I had found myself stranded on an island of uncertainty, eager to seek answers...but fear stood in my way. I am however, pleased to say that I found my way back home and that I am the statuesque woman of strength.

{I feel like I am stranded on an island, with no means to escape, drowning in self-doubt. As I stare out to the vast ocean which portrays pure inhibited beauty and freedom, I remain still. My fear encompasses me. Chokes me. As I stare at the sky, I remember a time where I knew the answers; where life and matters of love didn't encompass uncertainty but resolution. The girl I remember being is not the girl I am today; stranded on this island. The statuesque woman of strength I once was, can quite easily crumble to the touch.

Nearly every hour of the day, my thoughts circle around questions that I desperately seek answers for. When does everything you could ever want, become nothing you want? When does life change so drastically that it makes you wonder what brought you there in the first place? As much as I would like to believe I don't know the answers, I know that I do. The solution is what frightens me, what makes me stand still. I have always been a believer that one should live with no regret; to love with fearless abandonment. But who are we defined by? The people we love or the people we hurt? Can we break promises? Can we change our minds when the party we hope for turns out to be no fun? Is it ok to change....

When it comes to love, the one thing we search high and low for, is it fair to make the rules? Can you fall out of love, break someones heart when you realize its not that time-consuming, butterflies in the tummy, can't live without that person kind of love? Is it fair? Again who are we defined by, the people we love, or the people we hurt? I used to think that karma was the deciding factor in this equation of life. When someone you love hurts you, are they really in the wrong? Do they deserve a multitude of heartbreak and agony the rest of their lives or do they deserve a medal for being brave, for living their life to their own agenda?
I hear it over and over again, don't waste your life thinking about the chances you didn't take...}

If I ever find myself wanting to run away...

What Will You Remember?

What will you remember more? Being told 'No you can't'...or going ahead and doing it anyway? Rules are meant to be broken and when it comes to life-it's sometimes better not to play it safe.
