get REAL!

what is it with people?
what is it with them?
what is it with us?
what is it with her?
what is it with him?
what is it with me?

i won't talk of issues here. i won't name names.
i don't even know what the real issues are.
heck, i'm no longer sure who did what to whom!

what i do know is that, we all just have to be REAL.
c'mon! drop all the pretensions. do away with your facades.
stop faking it. be TRUE and you'll be just fine.
i know i'm no saint... but i'm definitely NOT a sham.
for your own good? get REAL!

when they come, they come.

when they come, they come.
they come in... crashing all the walls you tried to build for almost all the years of your life. walls you thought were strong enough to shield you from all the pain. pain you thought you've escaped a long time ago.
it sucks when you're in the middle of a seemingly endless, vast universe of bliss and suddenly they come... they come and hit you like a strike of a lighting in a hot sunny day. damn all of them! damn all the monsters in my head. damn all the paranoia. damn all the fears. damn all the doubts. damn all the self-inflicted drama. damn it.

the O.C.

don't settle for mediocrity!
c'mon! c'mon!
