something.

I feel busy and like I'm doing lots of things but not really doing anything at all.
I hate not having direction, motivation, inspiration.
I'm happy but I'm not content.
I just need to DO something.

"By day I am tough,
I am stubborn and rough,
but by night I'm as smooth as an eggshell.
This skin has been fixed-
it's all drywall and bricks,
but inside I'm as weak as an eggshell."

Told my girl we had to break up.
Thought that she would call my bluff.
But she said, to my surprise, "Big girls don't cry."

Because I'm literate.

I. love. this.

I think I forgot something over the ocean and I let something blow away on the breeze.
But the place that's the farthest, well that's where my heart is,
and I'm waiting for someone to find it and send it to me.
