Different...

If you say I'm different, others say you're a hipster and that's mainstream. So just be yourself, that's already different enough, hipster enough and mainstream enough.

Not my fault anymore...

Forget what hurt you in the past, but never forget what it taught you. However, if it taught you to hold onto grudges, seek revenge, not forgive or show compassion, to categorize people as good or bad, to distrust and be guarded with your feelings then you didn’t learn a thing. God doesn’t bring you lessons to close your heart. He brings you lessons to open it, by developing compassion, learning to listen, seeking to understand instead of speculating, practicing empathy and developing conflict resolution through communication. If he brought you perfect people, how would you ever learn to spiritually evolve?     --Shannon L. Alder

Any way to distract and 
sedate
Adding shadows to the walls of the cave

You and I nursing on a poison that never stung
Our teeth and lungs are lined with the scum of it
Some whiff of this death and guts
We are deaf, we are numb
Free and young and we can feel nothing

Before we packed our bags 
And left all this behind us in the dust 
We had a place that we could call home 
And a life no one could touch 

Don't hold me up now 
I can stand my own ground 
I don't need your help now 
You won't let me down, down, down!

We are the angry and the desperate 
The hungry, and the cold 
We are the ones who kept quiet 
And always did what we were told 

But we've been sweating while you slept so calm 
In the safety of your home 
We've been pulling out the nails that hold up 
Everything you've known 

Ich hörte mein Herz pochen.
Ich hörte die Herzen der Anderen.
Ich hörte das Menschengeräusch, das wir machten, als wir da saßen.
Keiner von uns hat sich bewegt, auch nicht, als der Raum dunkel wurde.
