L
Lost on the way, no one to blame, no one to say,
nothing to do with the way everything's changed

So I feel a little like, a child who's lost, a little like,
(everything's changed) a lot, I didn't like all of the pain,

I'm confused, a lot of it, is hard to take, and cause of it,
everything's changed I thought I'd make it through the pain

everything's changed

Given the chance I would happily dance on the grave of the one
who shows no remorse

So I feel a little like, a child who's lost, a little like,
(everything's changed) a lot, I didn't like all of the pain,
everything's changed
I'm confused, a lot of it, is hard to take, and cause of it,
everything's changed I thought I'd make it through the pain
everything's changed

nothing is plain
nothing can be explained, nothing

Given the chance I would happily laugh,
and be free to express what I feel
Given the the chance I could hold up my head and smile again
;
And I should be studying. siiiiiiiiighhhhhhh luh.

Tell Me on a Sunday
(why is Andrew Lloyd Webber such a genius)

Don't write a letter when you want to leave
Don't call me at 3 a.m. from a friend's apartment
I'd like to choose how I hear the news
Take me to a park that's covered with trees
Tell me on a Sunday please

Let me down easy
No big song and dance
No long faces, no long looks
No deep conversation
I know the way we should spend that day
Take me to a zoo that's got chimpanzees
Tell me on a Sunday please


Don't want to know who's to blame
It won't help knowing
Don't want to fight day and night
Bad enough you're going


Don't leave in silence with no word at all
Don't get drunk and slam the door
That's no way to end this
I know how I want you to say goodbye
Find a circus ring with a flying trapeze
Tell me on a Sunday please


Don't want to fight day and night
Bad enough you're going
Don't leave in silence with no word at all
Don't get drunk and slam the door
That's no way to end this
I know how I want you to say goodbye


Don't run off in the pouring rain
Don't call me as they call your plane
Take the hurt out of all the pain
Take me to a park that's covered with trees
Tell me on a Sunday please

转眼, 我头也不回, 没说再见．
This phrase from the nice theme song of 手足particularly strikes me, I dunno why.

Anyway, totally unrelated to that, I was searching for materials for the la letter thingy and I happened to chance upon this that I thought was interesting... although you may think of it more as sadistic. ><

These are words from the diary of Cynthia, during her period of depression/ self-mutilation:

------------------------------------ 

"Everything hurts so much inside and my thoughts are so overwhelming yet so distant, whirling about and never leaving me. I argue with my rational self and the self that's really hurting and doesn't want to carry on anymore. I do cut myself. I don't cut to die, I don't cut for attention, I cut because it makes me feel better for just a few minutes. It's like a drug- instant relief. Everything's okay for a while. The world stands still and my mind feels cleared. It's difficult to explain. I want to cry so badly sometimes, and I can't.and I literally ache inside; the feeling is unbearable and when I cut myself some of the pressure and hurt from inside is released. I know it's stupid; I know it's wrong, but sometimes it's the only thing that gets me through. "

------------------------------------

"There's nothing left for me anymore. How can this be happening to me? After everything we've been through? How could he do this to me? I feel so useless. So betrayed. So hurt. Empty. Stupid. Dumb. Angry. But I'm mainly scared. Scared of being alone again. Scared of the fact that I've been hurt so much and I can still forgive. Scared of what the future brings. Scared of what people will say. I pretend so much that I dont care about what people think of me. But I do. All I want is to be accepted. Accepted for who I am. I am who I am, not what other people want me to be. Why doesn't anybody understand? I'm so alone. It's always going to be like this. I give someone all my trust and let me down. I'll just have to deal with it...my way. "

------------------------------------ 

I actually don't feel freaked out at all. In fact it's really interesting to understand their thoughts.

And then I wonder, actually, would you think of these self-mutilating teens as complacent? I mean, thinking that you are forever the one who's alone and facing all these problems, feeling sorry for yourself for your seemingly endless obstacles - is this considered complacent? self-centred even? i mean, everybody has a life. your peers go through the same thing as you. what right do you have to think you go through much more than what they do?

i shall leave this hanging cus I'm too lazy to think about it and I've got a letter to finish. xd
