Tell me something interesting.. something new

Tell me something interesting

Tell me something new

My heart started to beat so fast

     Almost like new

Finally quelling the longing to feel that (rush) again

Greedily taking it all in.

Running after LIFE;

     My feet have made prints on the pavement

     Trying so hard to chase those dreams again

          I can feel'em right on my fingertips

The taste of freedom; intoxicating

     A breath of fresh air for lungs alive on stale words.

Too long since I've felt this good.

     I almost forgot the taste of fine delicacy

Zooming through everything

     Nothing getting stuck and tangled in the wicked webs that are woven

But it's quite far from peachy.

     The cards aren't always dealt that way

          A luck of the draw

Alas, I'm not that lucky. but I really am blessed.

     Someone always says it better. This I heard from the radio waves.

But what I have is mine.

     I'm too stubborn to stay down.

I'd rather keep falling, bruising, getting scraped up and I may even bleed.

Silly girl... all this trouble because she's too stubborn to get up and leave.

The shadows speak in whispers

     But I hear it all.

          Resonating

My happiness isn't tied to having people and things

     No matter who thinks they can "read" me or what they can see.

But here's a secret that you can share

     You see what I let you

     I hold in what I please

Depression is an aftertaste that I can never get to fade

But my salvation comes in the form of friends, rare loves, and good meds

Just never presume you know me, knew me, or think you did

I don't have many faces... just levels and degrees

Not everyone gets to see all of me...

     Come to think of it, those I can count on one hand

I've got love for them, it's bottomeless.

     They are the biggest part of me

Just tell me something interesting.... tell me something new.

I've clawed my way out of this whole again.

     I don't want to go back so soon.

There's no kidding myself

     I'll be there again

          A constant battle

          Chronic heartache

          Paralyzing fear

          Bitter anger

But I'll go down fighting and while I can get back up

     I want to...

          Breathe deep and  love hard

I'd rather feel too much than not enough

     Though with good, comes the bad

     I'll take them both

I'm whole til I break again

That'll be a day to see

     I'll go out with a BANG!

     But that's not til the end you see

I say when and why

     No one else... just me

So pretend I'm all yours

and...

Tell me something interesting.... tell me something new

Please.
