My heart sinks, just a little, tonight
I have a million thoughts swimming around my little mind.

How can such a stupid person, as I, think so many thoughts at once?

And, please don't give me platitudes or compliments...there are none sufficient.

Why can my perception change, so dramatically, at times?

This place is foreign to me.

The jokes suddenly seem like they are on the other side of a circle, where I don't belong.

And, familiar faces are gone.

I'm probably just tired...and weary from sharing too much of myself.

In the stillness of the night

I am alone

again.

3. I know, KC2.
I'm there with you. I don't know what makes it come or what makes it go away. But it helps when my friends show up. :hug:

4. Subject field must not be blank
I wish I had not woke up today
Everyone mistakes the things you say
Take the simple truth and
Twist it all around
Make it sound important
Make it seem profound

Dog new tricks
Nothing you learn will stick
Dog new tricks
You make me feel so worthless

Everyone I know has gone away
Died or left or just forgot to stay
Sometimes took for granted
Sometimes turned away
Sometimes didn´t say what
I meant to say

Dog new tricks
Nothing you learn will stick
Dog new tricks
You make me feel so worthless

Nothing you learn
Nothing you learn
Nothing you learn
Nothing you learn

I never would have pegged you
For what you have become
Everyone lies
Everyone cheats
Not like you´ve done

Dog new tricks
Nothing you learn will stick
Dog new tricks
You make me feel so worthless

Dog new tricks
Nothing you learn will stick
Dog new tricks
You make me feel so worthless

Nothing you learn
Nothing you learn
Nothing you learn
Nothing you learn.

-- Garbage

Your post made me think of this song. No platitudes, no compliments (although I enjoyed your pictures today) - with all the conversations going on here sometimes I haven't the faintest idea what anyone is talking about, and sometimes it seems as if everyone is obsessed with nonsense. Tomorrow will be different (it always is), and DU is really just a small small part of life.

:hi: :hug:

7. I can't sleep now
I've got too many things to sort through.

Thanks, you've always tried to be there...and I appreciate that very much.

I just need to get on with life. This isn't life. I realize that now. :hug:

9. Hi, KC2
I'm Trav. A refugee from GD. Kinda new to the Lounge. Nice to meet ya.

No ... it isn't life. But it is a pleasant diversion, sometimes a source of information or support. It is a virtual place, where our virtual selves get to mingle and sometimes have fun or even do something useful.

And a lot of times it is just a place where people throw their virtual asses.

So it is not life. It is merely an accessory. Take what you can use, leave the rest.

BTW, I like the way you write ...

Trav
