"Helena" - My Chemical Romance I will sleep before 2:00am. I will not think too much about these songs. I will pick one and just write. (Cough, sneeze, sniffle, uh-oh.) I will ignore it and keep going. I will find my sleep again. I will not let my stomach cramps keep me awake. I will allow my dreams to be dreams and let them go. (Thinking good thoughts.) I will do what my cousin advised me to do and pray for one good thing everyday. I will not pray for my own benefit, but for something that will benefit others. I will care about the world before I focus on my own world. (Sigh, breathe, squint, blink.) I will rub my eyes and keep writing. I will appreciate what I have vs. what I don't have. I will acknowledge that I have more than what I lack. I will accept that what I lack won't kill me. I will be ok with being just ok. (Signing the letters 'O' and 'K.') I will not look for what's not easy to look for. I will be happy with what's in front of me...
A song pops up in my head in bed, carrying with it a memory that may not always be described in words. So the music in it of itself allows me to tell my stories. This is my writer's pen. This is my '3' and my 'M'. This is my passion in life; my blog; my light and though it may occasionally lose its shine, it will never completely leave me in the dark.
