Diary of a 20 Something Year Old
This is my own personal mindfuck

Facts:
I graduate in less than a month
I have barely looked at my senior thesis
I don't have a job yet
I've wasted this weekend.
I haven't taken my medicine in 5 days.
I'm afraid I won't find the job I've wanted for the past 5 years.
My best friend isn't my friend anymore.

He's just my roommate. We barely speak. I hate it. And I don't know how to fix any of this

Truth: I miss you
Fact: It's not healthy
Wahrheit: I don't know how to stop myself from feeling this way.

Can I just have my life back. Can I erase those 3 years?

I don't know what to write. I don't know exactly what it is that I feel. I just know that it'll work itself out. I'm excited I met you, I'm just not sure it's the right time.

what day is it
and in what month
this clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up
and I can't back down
I've been losing so much time

cause it's you and me and all of the people
with nothing to do
nothing to lose
and it's you and me and all of the people
and I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you

all of the things that I want to say
just aren't coming out right
I'm tripping inwards
you got my head spinning
I don't know where to go from here

cause it's you and me and all of the people
with nothing to do
nothing to prove
and it's you and me and all of the people
and I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you

there's something about you now
I can't quite figure out
everything she does is beautiful
everything she does is right

you and me and all of the people
with nothing to do
nothing to lose
and it's you and me and all of the people
and I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you

you and me and all of the people
with nothing to do
nothing to prove
and it's you and me and all of the people
and I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you

what day is it
and in what month
this clock never seemed so alive

I remember when I was in 3rd. I would fall asleep to Closer/Winter every single night I was there. It calms me down. It relaxs me and allows me to breathe.


I want to go back to 3rd. I want a redo on the last two years. I want to learn faster that I have to fight the good fight. That I have to demand the things I want, not simply wait for them to come my way.

Funny thing life is. Always teaches you things, but never explains itself. Though I suppose that's half the fun right?

He called.
I knew he would.
Then he hung up.

Like I don't know it's him.
Like I don't know what his breathe sounds like.
I know every syncopation of his voice.
I know every tone.


Be strong enough.
Be the man I know you are.
And not the boy that you've regressed to being.


Because in the end the only person who can bring you down...is you.


So walk out the door of your self imposed prison, so that you can let me out of mine.
 

I wonder what you think of when you think of me

By Stephenchen
I'm lost


Oh how I wish that was true. You tell me what I'm supposed to do. I'm not lost I'm muddled. I know what I'm supposed to do, but I can't get my heart to believe that.


I am so utterly confused. I just wish I knew where it's supposed to end. Why after I yelled and take my stand, am I always left wishing he'd come back.


How terribly fucked up I am. You'd think I'd have gotten the hang of this by now. Apparently not.

maybe this is why I shouldn't ever date

Though still in bed, my thoughts go out to you, my Immortal Beloved, now and then joyfully, then sadly, waiting to learn whether or not fate will hear us - I can live only wholly with you or not at all - Yes, I am resolved to wander so long away from you until I can fly to your arms and say that I am really at home with you, and can send my soul enwrapped in you into the land of spirits - Yes, unhappily it must be so - You will be the more contained since you know my fidelity to you. No one else can ever possess my heart - never - never - Oh God, why must one be parted from one whom one so loves. And yet my life in V is now a wretched life - Your love makes me at once the happiest and the unhappiest of men - At my age I need a steady, quiet life - can that be so in our connection? My angel, I have just been told that the mailcoach goes every day - therefore I must close at once so that you may receive the letter at once - Be calm, only by a calm consideration of our existence can we achieve our purpose to live together - Be calm - love me - today - yesterday - what tearful longings for you - you - you - my life - my all - farewell. Oh continue to love me - never misjudge the most faithful heart of your beloved.
ever thine
ever mine
ever ours


You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first, I loved you first
Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth
I have to go, I have to go
Your hair was long when we first met

Samson went back to bed
Not much hair left on his head
He ate a slice of wonder bread and went right back to bed
And history books forgot about us and the bible didn't mention us
And the bible didn't mention us, not even once

You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first, I loved you first
Beneath the stars came fallin' on our heads
But they're just old light, they're just old light
Your hair was long when we first met

Samson came to my bed
Told me that my hair was red
Told me I was beautiful and came into my bed
Oh I cut his hair myself one night
A pair of dull scissors in the yellow light
And he told me that I'd done alright
And kissed me 'til the mornin' light, the mornin' light
And he kissed me 'til the mornin' light

Samson went back to bed
Not much hair left on his head
Ate a slice of wonderbread and went right back to bed
Oh, we couldn't bring the columns down
Yeah we couldn't destroy a single one
And history books forgot about us
And the bible didn't mention us, not even once

You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first

where are we?
what the hell is going on?
the dust has only just begun to form
crop circles in the carpet
sinking feeling

spin me round again
and rub my eyes,
this can't be happening
when busy streets a mess with people
would stop to hold their heads - heavy

hide and seek
trains and sewing machines
all those years
they were here first

oily marks appear on walls
where pleasure moments hung before the takeover,
the sweeping insensitivity of this still life

hide and seek
trains and sewing machines (oh, you won't catch me around here)
blood and tears (hearts)
they were here first

Mmmm whacha say,
Mmmm that you only meant well?
well of course you did
Mmmm whacha say,
Mmmm that its all for the best?
Because it is
Mmmm whacha say?
Mmmm that it's just what we need
you decided this
whacha say?
Mmmm what did she say?

ransom notes keep falling out your mouth
mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut outs
speak no feeling no i don't believe you
you don't care a bit,
you don't care a bit

(hide and seek)
ransom notes keep falling out your mouth
mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut outs

(hide and seek)
speak no feeling no i don't believe you
you don't care a bit,
you don't care a (you don't care a) bit

(hide and seek)
oh no, you don't care a bit
oh no, you don't care a bit

(hide and seek)
oh no, you don't care a bit
you don't care a bit
you don't care a bit
