                <description><![CDATA[ Whoever claimed that "honesty is the best policy" was LYING!!!<br /><br />I finally confronted my father honestly about my desires and intentions about BDSM, and he really did not take it well.  It seemed to me like he was only listening to half of what I was saying and ignoring the explanation of why I said those things.<br /><br />I, now, am really scared.  I am afraid that he may refuse to let me see Mistress again.  That would kill me because she is really the only one that I have to hold on to.  She protects me and comforts me.  I am also not doing anything wrong (at least I do not think so).  I may be different from his "normal", but odd is not the same thing as wrong.<br /><br />I do not know (or really even care for that point) if anyone reads this; I just needed to rant.<br /><br /><br /><br />Peace and Love<br /><br />Â§ - Patrick - Â§<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I know that it has been a long time since I have posted anything, and I apologize.  The reason is this:  I have been really stressed and busy, so every time I start writing a poem, I get part of the way through, then I need to go somewhere and do something.  I have a hard time finishing a poem in multiple sittings, so I have many unfinished poems.  <br /><br />What I have been doing instead recently is taking some of my older  poems and turning them into songs.<br /><br /><br />If I can get some people to consistently view my journal here on DA once per week, then I will start up my weekly blog again. (remember the one that I did for about 5 weeks...it was quite a while ago)  If I restart that, then I will actually put some interesting things in it.<br /><br /><br /><br />Peace and Love<br /><br />Patrick<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ This really is irrelevant, but.....It is sooo amazing how a song can change someones mood so strongly.  I have slowly been adding poems to DA, but I still have many more that are complete that I have not found time to add up here yet.  They should be up here soon.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

I have just been so stressed, tired, and just sick of life.  I have been making my number one goal in life to chase an impossible dream.  I just really need a break right now.<br /><br />Hopefully I will start posting within the next two weeks.<br /><br />I give a thanks to all of you whom actually look at what I do here on DA.<br /><br />Peace and Love<br />Patrick<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ FUCK life and everything in it!!!  I finally made my first friend after many attempts to make friends.  And what happens, my dad will not let be talk to her.  All I need is someone who can listen to me, hug me, and tell me that I will be okay.  That is all that I want in this life.  But I guess that is too much to ask for.  When everyone's life sucks, they say, "at least I have friends", but for me...I have nothing...All I have are the tears that I show after my dad refuses me to have friends.  Just me and my tears.  FUCK this world.  I do not need it anymore.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I am having severe emotional problems.  I am having the worst mood swings of all existence.  I should be depressed because of about 13 different problems happening to me simultaneously, but I am fine right now.  25 minutes I was horribly depressed, and an hour before that I was very angry.  WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I do not see any reason to explain who I am anymore.  I have only met one person in my entire life who has accepted me anyway.  The more that I tell about myself, the more that people are turned away from me.  All that I have to say about myself is that I am no-one special, no-one worth caring about, and no-one that you want to become friends with.  Don't even pretend to care either, because I can tell the difference between a friend and someone with pity.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ MESSAGE:<br /><br />I went to a barbershop corn roast last night.  It was all you can eat corn, hot dogs, and drinks.  Everyone there sang barbershop somewhere.  I had so much fun there.  I even put a quartet together and sang a song and left it on my girlfriends cell phone.  I also hit a high E (Two octaves above middle C)<br /><br /><br />I know that I have not been writing much recently, but I a thinking about starting again.  I just want some input on weather I should be writing mostly poetry, short stories, or full stores.  Please answer in a comment on this journal with your ideas.  I would be greatly thankful for the input.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />PROS AND CONS:<br /><br />CON - I have been really tired lately, but every time I try to sleep, something wakes me up. (no liz, not you)<br /><br />CON - I promised a secret gift for my girlfriend, and I have not been able to find the time to make it.<br /><br />PRO - School is starting soon.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />MY ANSWER THE THE PREVIOUS QUESTION:<br /><br />If you were to go to a different planet that had life on it and you were allowed to bring three books and only three books; what would those three books be? (note: This planet has no books, and no-one on this planet has ever read a book. However they do know how to read.)<br /><br />I would bring a book of science, religion, and a book of history.<br /><br />The science book is needed because without science, there will not be any advances in technology.<br /><br />The book on religion is needed because without a belief, it can be very hard to find a reason to live.<br /><br />The history book is also needed because without knowing history, history will just repeat itself.<br /><br />I got this question from the 1960's movie "The Time Machine".  At the end of the movie, the main character travels forward in time again, but this time, three books from his bookshelf are missing.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />MISC. QUESTION OF THE JOURNAL:<br />(Answer in a comment on this journal)<br /><br />What is a feature of yourself that you truly like. This feature can be mental or physical.  You can also only pick one thing.  Explain why you picked that item.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />QUOTE OF THE JOURNAL:<br /><br />"What is today but yesterdays tomorrow?"<br /><br />(From the character "Mr. Krabs" from the show Spongebob Squarepants)<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Peace And Love<br /><br /><3 - Patrick - <3<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ MESSAGE:<br /><br />Yay, I got 1000 page views!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />PROS AND CONS<br /><br />PRO - I got 1000 page views. (Just in case you have short term memory loss.)<br /><br />PRO - My dad did not take my chainmaille supplies.  I simply misplaced them.  I have now found them.<br /><br />CON - I think that I made a new enemy.<br /><br />CON - I really want to talk to my love, but it is too late to call her.<br /><br />CON - My nocturnal depression is acting up again.<br /><br />PRO - I am really close to finishing my chainmaille bracer.<br /><br />PRO - Liz and I have going strong for three months, and we are only getting stronger.<br /><br />(I have another PRO that I will only tell in private conversation.)<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />MY ANSWER THE THE PREVIOUS QUESTION:<br /><br />Would you rather be in the worst pain that a human can endure for one week, or would you rather have a sore throat for one year?<br /><br />For me, I would rather have the one week of extreme pain.  The reason why is because time hurts much more that amount.  After the one week, you would be so thankful that you chose that option.  Also, the worse that something is in you life, the better it makes the good things feel.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />MISC. QUESTION OF THE JOURNAL:<br />(Answer in a comment on this journal)<br /><br />If you were to go to a different planet that had life on it and you were allowed to bring three books and only three books; what would those three books be?  (note: This planet has no books, and no-one on this planet has ever read a book.  However they do know how to read.)<br /><br />(Also, if you can tell me where I got this idea from, then I will... I will... be very surprised.)<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />QUOTE OF THE JOURNAL:<br /><br />"Ouch!  That's going to bleed when my heart beats."<br /><br />Hubert J. Farnsworth  (Professor Farnsworth)  (From the TV show "Futurama")<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Peace And Love<br /><br /><3 - Patrick - <3<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I have been working quite hard on a business plan for my chainmaille.  I am doing quite well actually.  I already have a price matrix, and I am working on a contract.  It is really fun!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />PROS AND CONS<br /><br />PRO - At the rate that I have been going, my chainmaille bracer will be finished by Saturday.<br /><br />CON - I cannot do chainmaille for a while because my father took my pliers and rings from me.  I do not know why at the moment, and he also did not warn me that he was going to do that.<br /><br />CON - Chainmaille is my zen activity. (the activity that relaxes me)  My father can stress me out easily, so I do chainmaille to relax myself, but now I cannot relax because he took my materials.<br /><br />PRO - I posted a few more deviations.<br /><br />PRO - I no longer owe my father money.<br /><br />CON - I was making a gift (out of chainmaille) for Liz, and I am about 75 to 80 percent done with it, but now I cannot finish it because my father took my supplies.<br /><br />CON - My relaxation / yoga / meditation books are not helping me at all.<br /><br />PRO - I am starting to get some fans of my work on DA.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />MY ANSWER THE THE PREVIOUS QUESTION:<br /><br />If you were given one do-over, would you:<br /><br />A - Use it for yourself<br />B - Give it to a friend or loved one<br />C - Give it to someone that you do not know<br />D - Sell it on eBay, or<br />E - Choose not to use it?<br /><br />Explain why.<br /><br /><br />For me I would give it to someone who was either homeless or had quite a bad life.  I do not care if I know them or not.  If they know that they screwed up something and they had learned from it, then I think that they deserve the do-over.  I have no real need for it, I would like it, but that would just be too selfish of me.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />MISC.

                <description><![CDATA[ I have a few new idea's for what to do with my journal.  If you read my last journal, then you would know that I am going to try to put pro's and con's about my life on every journal.  I also am going to put a few more things on each journal.  Tell me witch ones you like.<br /><br />I am offloading things from my xanga site from 2 years ago, and I am going to gradually put the posts into my journals.<br /><br /><br /><br />PROS/CONS<br /><br />Pro - I made up  with an old friend that I was afraid hated me.<br />Con - My laptop and my desktop are currently under repair by me.<br /><br />(I have one more con, but I will not post it publicly because my father occationally looks at my DA.  If you want to know what it is, then call me at (616) 350-0097, email me at sameasyours@sbcglobal.net , or just find a way to privately talk to me.)<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />RINGTONES THAT PEOPLE IN THE BIBLE HAD.<br />(Xanga Offload)<br /><br />I wrote this when I was really board on a four hour plane flight alone.<br />I was 12 when I wrote this.<br /><br /><br />Moses: Boulavard of Broken Dreams - Green Day<br />             This would be his ringtone because he walked for 40 years in the wilderness.<br /> <br />Lazerus: You Raise Me Up - Josh Groban<br />                This would be his ringtone because Jesus raised him up from the grave.<br /><br />Simeon: Not Ready to Die - Demon Hunter<br />                This would be his ringtone because he could not die until he saw Jesus.<br /><br />Builders of the Tower of Babal: Gibberish - Relient K<br />                This would be their ringtone because God changed everyone's languages, so no one knew what anyone else was saying.<br /><br />Jesus: Reach for the Sky - Social Distortion   and   Alive - Pearl Jam<br />                 Reach for the Sky would be his ringtone beacuse he knew that tomorrow may never come, and Alive would be his ringtone because after he died, he came back to life and he is still alive.<br /><br />Shadrack, Meshack, and Abednego: Fireproof - Pillar<br />                This would be their ringtone because when they were thrown in the fire, they were not burned.<br /><br />Job: Breakdown - Relient K<br />                This would be his ringtone because he had many problems, but he would not give up on God anyway.<br /><br />David: The Lion Sleeps Tonight - The Tokens<br />                This would be his ringtone because when he was thrown in the lions den God put the lions to sleep so he would not get eaten.<br /><br />Soloman: The Widow - The Mars Volta<br />                This would be his ringtone because he had 900 wives, and the song says "i will never sleep alone".<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />MISC. QUESTION OF THE JOURNAL<br />(Answer the question in a comment on this journal)<br /><br />If you were given one do-over, would you:<br /><br />A - Use it for yourself<br />B - Give it to a friend or loved one<br />C - Give it to someone that you do not know<br />D - Sell it on eBay, or<br />E - Choose not to use it?<br /><br />Explain why.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Peace And Love<br /><br /><3 - Patrick - <3<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So, I am going to stay on DA.  There are quite a few things that I need to post onto DA, but it will take a while for me to get the time to post them.<br /><br />So, I am going to try something new on DA.  I am going to post Pro's and Con's of my current life at the bottom of each of my journals.  Here it goes.<br /><br /><br />Pro's<br /><br />1 - I am making a bracer out of chainmaille.  I am currently 1800 rings into it, only 1600 more to go.  I will post pictures when I am done.<br /><br />2 - My girlfriend and I are doing great.  I love her with all of my heart, and always will.<br /><br />3 - My performance at the Whitecap's game went quite well.<br /><br /><br />Con's<br /><br />1 - I am having a hard time trying to make my deadline for my chainmaille bracer.  My deadline is September 1st.<br /><br />2 - I am officially resigning from composing music.  The reason why is because I put many hours into each of my songs, and all I ever got from it was about 10 to 15 fans.  I may still post things on my main music site, but only some of my old unreleased songs, no new ones.<br /><br />3 - I am still putting work into my DA even though I only have 5 to 10 fans.<br /><br /><br />Peace And Love<br /><br />Â§ - Patrick - Â§<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I am seriously debating on weather I should leave DA or not.  I am serving no purpose to the art community.  I see no reason of why I should stay here.  If someone gives me a good reason, then I will stay.  My love, you do not need to worry if I stay or not because I will give you all of my writings in person anyway.  It is just that no one really looks at my stuff at all anymore.  If by next Sunday (One week from now), no one gives me a good reason to stay, then I will leave.<br /><br />Peace and Love<br /><br />Â§ - Patrick - Â§<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I have not posted at all in a while because the only person whom actually cares about my work cannot get on to DA for a little while.  Of all the friends I've ever had, she has to be the first. (no that is not a typo)  <br /><br />Here is what I have been doing all summer:<br /><br />I have been practicing for the Indiana Harmony Brigade.  Here is how the brigade works.  They send you 10 of the hardest pieces of barbershop (4 guys singing a cappella) music that they can find.  After you get the music, you learn it by yourself.  You get 4 months to learn them.  Then you go down to the brigade rally.  At the rally, they pick 3 other guys for you to sing with, and give you only 30 minutes to practice with your quartet before you preform.<br /><br />It is fun.<br /><br />Well, I might start posting again.  It just depends on if people actually read what I post.<br /><br />Â§ - Patrick - Â§<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ My life has recently gone from wanting to kill myself to the happiest person in the world.  I just had the best day of my entire life yesterday.  I went to the movies with the love of my life, and we saw Made of Honor.  It was the first date that I have ever had.  I did not exactly see the entire movie.  I was too busy gazing at Liz.  I had my very first kiss during the movie, and I will never forget it.  It was the best moment of my life!  I am just so happy right now.  <br /><br />I will try to post some poems soon, but I have been having such a hard time writing them.  I keep getting half way through writing them, then I start day-dreaming.  I love you, Liz!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Just when I finally was feeling good enough to live, SOMETHING has to ruin it.  <Insert Expletive In Bold Print And Large Font Here><br /><br />For those of you who do not know me, I moved from California to Michigan a little over a year and a half ago.  I had a girlfriend out there, she was shot and killed in front of me right before I moved.  I go into detail about this subject in my deviation "Life Of The Loved".  I was also very close with her best friend.  <br /><br />I just got a hold of Her best friend today.  I have not talked to her since the killing.  I have tried hard to talk to her, but she is hard to find.  I was never able to tell her that I was moving, she never knew.  I was so happy today when I finally was able to talk to her.  The problem is that she has changed completely.  We met at church, and we were both very strong Christians back then, when I talked to her, I found out that she has changed from a great Christian friend, to a Gothic suicidal nymphomaniac.  I am fine with the Gothic and the suicidal part, because I have done both also.  What really bothers me is that she is sex addicted.  She used to dream about romance and love.  Now, all she thinks about is finding guys that like bondage.  When I saw her last she was the most innocent person that I had ever seen.<br /><br />Because of what happened with her, I can only think about one thing, and that is this question.  Is love without sex possible?  This is what I dream about.  I want to love someone, but I do not want sex.  No-one believes me though because I am a guy, and the stereotype of a guy is being a horn-dog.  I wonder if my dream is possible.  I do not fantasize about sex, I fantasize about a girl that I love falling asleep in my arms.  I have always been happy that I am innocent and no-one else my age is.  Now I just think that it is a sign of immaturity.  I have always been more mature than everyone that I know, but maybe I am the most immature of them all.<br /><br />I just really need to know if true love without sex is possible.<br /><br />Â§ - Patrick - Â§<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I have been wanting to post more deviations on DA recently, but my camera is being a (Insert Expletive Here) and I am kinda lazy.  OK, I am very lazy.  I have hundreds of pictures that I want to add still.  I added a poem a few minutes ago, PLEASE READ IT.  My actual posts are what I think about when I make them.  I just rant for my journal.<br /><br />For those of you who just recently started to look at my stuff, You caught me at a strange time in my life.  My life has ALWAYS been depressing, until I got a girlfriend.  I later realized that she was only using me for my money.  Currently I have only two friends, but they are the greatest, and they have helped me out with this situation significantly.  So, in the past two weeks I have gone from depressed, to in love, to suicidal, to angry, back to suicidal, and now I am starting to feel better because of my friends.  My emotions have been going crazy recently, so I am sorry if that affected my DA in any way.  I will be back to posting real deviations now.  So, sorry about the lack of stuff recently.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I have been posting quite a bit of depressing things lately.  I did not intend to make anyone worry about me, I have just been feeling like shit recently.  I have been quite an ass recently, just drowning in my own self-pity.  I realized that I have two friends that have been helping me out quite a bit.  They mean everything to me.   I just realized that they have been working their asses off to make me feel better.  So, below is a song for them.<br /><br /><br /><br />Standing cold and scared on top of the hill,<br />There came one moment, when I lost my will.<br />I prayed for mercy, please lord take me away.<br />Oh give me sunshine where I only see grey.<br />My past has a hold on me, it can't be denied,<br />And the changes don't come easily.<br /><br />I've been lonely, I've been cheated,<br />I've been misunderstood<br />I've been washed up, I've been put down,<br />And told I'm no good<br />But with you I belong,<br />Cause you help me be strong,<br />There's a change in my life,<br />Since you came along.<br /><br />Now I don't mind working so hard every day.<br />And I don't pay no mind to what people say.<br />'Cause after all the pain I've been through<br />Lord knows I'd give up everything<br />Just to love only you<br />All my life I'd held my head bent in shame,<br />But now I've found you, and with you<br />I'll remain.<br /><br />A man gets crazy when his life is all wrong,<br />And a heart gets weary when it doesn't belong.<br />When the road gets rocky<br />You've got to keep on.<br />Let the new light come shining on through.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Like my last journal entry,  What is below I did not write myself.  The reason why I am posting this is because EVERY SINGLE LINE applies to the situation that I am in now.  Ever since the break-up, this has been my favorite song, and according to iTunes, I have listened to this song 234 times in the past 6 days.  The song is the rare original version of Missing by Evanescence.  Right under the lyrics I will explain why it applies so well.<br /><br />I understand that it is almost completely useless to post on DA anymore.  The reason is that I have been a member on DA for 8 months not, and only 3 people have ever seen any of the things that I have posted, and only 1 of them actually cared about them.<br /><br />I will continue to post for at least a little while longer<br /><br />Here is the song.<br /><br />Â§ - Patrick - Â§<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Please, please forgive me,<br />But I won't be home again.<br />Maybe someday you'll have woke up,<br />And, barely conscious, you'll say to no one:<br />"isn't something missing? "<br /><br />You won't cry for my absence, I know<br />You forgot me long ago.<br />Am I that unimportant...?<br />Am I so insignificant...?<br />Isn't something missing?<br />Isn't someone missing me?<br /><br />Even though I'd be sacrificed,<br />You won't try for me, not now.<br />Though I'd die to know you love me,<br />I'm all alone.<br />Isn't someone missing me?<br /><br />And if I bleed, I'll bleed,<br />Knowing you don't care.<br />And if I sleep just to dream of you<br />And wake without you there,<br />Isn't something missing?<br />Isn't something...<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Please, please forgive me, - this is what I have been saying ever since I broke-up.  I have been saying sorry, because I just know that I did something wrong for her to break up with me.<br /><br />But I won't be home again. - Home means me as a person.  Ever since the brake-up, My life has been hell, and I can not promise that I well ever be fine or "home" again.<br /><br />Maybe someday you'll have woke up, And, barely conscious, you'll say to no one: "isn't something missing?" - This is what I hope happens to Her so much.  I hope that she feels like something is missing from her life since she broke up with me, because She meant everything to me, I hope that I meant at least something to her.<br /><br /><br />You won't cry for my absence, I know. You forgot me long ago. - I know that she does not cry about me not being with her anymore, I already did an entire journal entry on that alone.  I know that it meant nothing to her because she did not have to get over the break-up, she was over it before it even ended.  She just tells me that it was an everyday relationship.  It was not an everyday relationship!  She meant EVERYTHING to me.  I spent every cent on money I had on her, and also every second of time I had on her.<br /><br />Am I that unimportant...? Am I so insignificant...? - Did I really mean that little to her that she did not even feel bad for breaking up with me.  She was not depressed for a second.  She told me that this is just life, and it happens all of the time.  That may be true for her, but not for me.  I thought that I meant at least something to her.<br /><br />Isn't something missing? - I already explained this line.<br /><br />Isn't someone missing me? - I have been asking this question quite a lot recently.  I wonder if anyone cares for me.  Ever since the break-up, my closest of friends just ignored me.  They were never my friends.<br /><br />Even though I'd be sacrificed, - This is telling my ex that she broke up with me without caring even though she knew that I would be sacrificed.  The word sacrificed here means my health satus.  This relationship has sacrificed me.  That means that because of her, I am now suicidal.  I have tried to kill myself because of her.<br /><br />You won't try for me, not now. - Even though she knew that breaking up with me would kill me, she did not even try for me.  She did not even try the relationship out.  She did not even give me a chance to fix whatever it was that I was doing wrong, if I was doing something wrong.<br /><br />Though I'd die to know you love me, - I am almost completely sure that she only went out with me for money.  She used me.  I would do anything, even die, just to know that there was at least some time in the relationship that she cared for me for me, not the money.<br /><br />I'm all alone. - No matter how hard I tried to do everything that I could for her, I am just alone.<br /><br />Isn't someone missing me? - I already explained this line.<br /><br />And if I bleed, I'll bleed, - This is explaining that because of the break-up, I have been cutting my wrists, making them bleed.<br /><br />Knowing you don't care. - I know that after all that I did for her, she does not care for me.<br /><br />And if I sleep just to dream of you, And wake without you there,  - Even though we broke-up,... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ In this city...there are no people.<br />The lights are on in all the houses. But there's nobody on the streets.<br />Are there people inside? I peek in a window to find out.<br />There are people. But they are with them.<br />I look in other houses. These people are with them, too.<br />This city is just like all the rest.<br />Being with them is fun. More fun than being with people.<br />Nobody comes outside anymore. There are no people in this city. <br />I will leave this city and go to another one.<br />I hope that I will meet someone. Someone just for me.<br />But if that special someone falls in love with me...<br />I will have to leave that someone. <br />Even so, I want to meet that special someone.<br />This is what I think as I leave the city with no people. <br /><br />Just as I feared...there's no one here either.<br />Everyone is inside with them.<br />Being with them is like living a beautiful dream. <br />A beautiful dream that no one wants to wake up from.<br />They will grant your deepest wishes.<br />They will do whatever you ask. They will be whatever you want. <br />They can do things that you cannot.<br />But...there is one thing...they cannot do. <br />They can never become people.<br />They might look like people, but they are only substitutes. <br />I know this very well because I am one of them.<br />Today I look for someone just for me.<br />Someone who will love me even if I can't fulfill their wishes.<br />Someone who has love for me alone.<br />But...<br />There is another me.<br />The other me asks..."Does such a person exist?" <br />I need...someone whose love for me is true.<br />I want...someone who loves me without asking anything in exchange.<br />I hope...unless that someone loves me for being me... <br />...they're not someone just for me.<br />Is this so?<br />"It is." <br />This someone exists?<br />"She does." <br />If so...then where?<br />My someone is nearby, I think. Perhaps I already know her.<br />But..." <br />...what if that person does not love you back?<br />What if that person likes someone...other than you?<br />People aren't like them. You can't erase their feelings.<br />People aren't easy to change.<br />I know.<br />But people do change. Their feelings are dynamic. <br />Feelings of love are more resistant than others.<br />"What if she never loves you?" <br />The I'll have to decide.<br />Decide...and then do what must be done.<br />Me and the other me.<br /><br />They...can do anything.<br />They are super-people made by people.<br />They can be prettier than the real thing.<br />They can be smarter than the real thing.<br />They can be whatever people want them to be.<br />Whatever people can dream of. <br />When the people saw their creation, they thought that their dreams had come true.<br />But then...people forgot their dreams. <br />And in time, they invited people to share a new dream...<br />...a dream they can't wake up from.<br />But... <br />Is that the dream that people want? Is that what happiness is?<br />They...were created to make people happy.<br />But...are people truly happy being with them?<br />Is this city with no people truly happy?<br />I don't know. Because...<br />Happiness depends on the individual.<br />All people are different. No two are the same.<br />What makes one person happy...might make another sad.<br />People's souls come in all shapes and sizes.<br />And as time goes on and a person grows, their soul can change.<br />Their hopes and dreams can change. <br />That's why...there isn't just one type of happiness.<br />Then...<br />...there must be a way that I can be happy, too?<br />That is what we all want, isn't it?<br />To find the person just for you, to find your own happiness...<br />...that would be wonderful, wouldn't it? <br /><br />One day I went to a new city.<br />They are in this city, too.<br />There is no place without them anymore. <br />The people are with them.<br />There are as many of them as there are people.<br />But... <br />There is only one person just for me...<br />...and I still have not found her.<br />You are a person, aren't you?<br />What was that? I should do what with my hand? <br />Hold it out?<br />Where are you taking me? <br />Is this your house? Why did you bring me here?<br />Are you... <br />Are you...<br />...the person just for me?<br />You might be...but...<br />Perhaps this person only brought me here...<br />...because I am one of them.<br />Maybe she's just like everyone else. Maybe she just wants me to grant her wishes. <br />I'm not like the rest of them. There is one wish I cannot grant.<br />For if I were to grant that wish, I would...<br />...have to say goodbye forever to the someone just for me.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So you say you've been here, you know me<br />You really understand.<br />You've felt the way I feel.<br />Well sugar, let me say I don't think<br />You even have a clue of how<br />You've blown my life apart.<br />Honey, you got no idea.<br />Don't tell me you do.<br /><br />Don't tell me that you cry in you sleep each night.<br />Don't say you spend each hour wondering what wasn't right.<br />Do you stare into the mirror thinking what<br />is it you should change?<br />Do you wake up every morning, reaching over to find<br />You ain't there, and you ain't coming back?<br />You cannot know how this feels.<br />Don't tell me you do<br /><br />And you thought this phone call could<br />fix things - could wipe away the<br />guilt you feel. You ask too much.<br />When you said forever, I guess the<br />forever that you meant must be much<br />shorter than I planned.<br /><br />Don't tell me that you cry in you sleep each night.<br />Don't say you spend each hour wondering what wasn't right.<br />Do you stare into the mirror thinking what<br />is it you should change?<br />Do you lose yourself in conversation<br />looking ahead,<br />then look up, and there ain't nobody there?<br /><br />You can ask me to say I love you.<br />I do, and that won't change.<br />But please don't ask me to say every-<br />thing's okay, cause it ain't. It just ain't.<br /><br />Don't tell me that you cry in you sleep each night.<br />Don't say you spend each hour wonderin what wasn't right.<br />Do oyou find yourself alone in all the places we used to share?<br />Do you wake up every mornin, reachin over to find<br />You ain't there, and you ain't comin back?<br /><br />You cannot know how this feels.<br />Don't tell me you do<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ "This place is a prison, these people aren't your friends<br />inhaling thrills through $20 bills and the<br />tumblers are drained and then flooded again and again"<br /><br />I cannot help but give up, every female that I have ever been close to has disappeared.  I was stupid enough to go for a final try - Yet all I did was fall harder.  I wish that karma was real, for I have worked to my near death for just one simple thing.  All I want is to have someone who can put her arm around me to keep the tears from falling.  I need no sex, no kissing - All I want is to be in someone's arms.  It is no use, the harder I try the further I get.  Goodnight my love - although it is only one sided - It will never take away from what it means to me.<br /><br />Â§ - Patrick Ryan - Â§<br /><br /> ]]></description>
