Ray Serene

The curfew tolls the knell of parting day,
The lowing herd winds slowly o'er the lea,
The ploughman homeward plods his weary way,
And leaves the world to darkness and to me.

Full many a gem of purest ray serene
The dark unfathom'd caves of ocean bear:
Full many a flower is born to blush unseen,
And waste its sweetness on the desert air.

Far from the madding crowd's ignoble strife,
Their sober wishes never learn'd to stray;
Along the cool sequester'd vale of life
They kept the noiseless tenour of their way.

Lacrimosa Concubine Dumbledore

Can we please stop being emo now? Stop stopstop. No, really. I don't care that emo songs have the best lyrics, I don't care that being emo makes me feel, I don't care that I don't care, or that I care.

I'm Too Awesome To Be Emo.
And So Are You.
All Of You.

Take a deep breath.
Stop being sad. Stop kicking yourself. Stop feeling all those lousy feelings. Stop it. They're never going to turn into gold. They just turn into high blood pressure or visits to the psychiatrist. See? So unproductive. Go and take some Vitamin C please.

Let me help you, and myself, to be less emo (Dude, stop listening to Avenged Sevenfold. Please. And delete that A Fine Frenzy song I passed to you. They're all the devil's hand in disguise).

List Of Less Emo Stuff

1. Listen to Disney songs.
All of them. All day.

2. Watch How I Met Your Mother.
Every episode. When you're not at work.

3. Read My Life Is Average.
Do NOT read pleasefindthis.blogspot.com OR postsecret.blogspot.com. Don't even touch those links.

4. Wear a dress.
Applies to both genders. Heels optional.

5. I would suggest some type of exercise, but I know that people like you, you, you and I are just going to think about how miserable life is as they silently swim/ do situps/ jog/ whatever else it is people do as exercise. So. Do NOT EXERCISE. (Heh heh heh heh).

6. Potter Puppet Pals.

Ok, that's it. I'm not Dr Phil. Figure out your own self. There's only so much I can do to undo the curse of Damian Rice and his sap demon.

Being Human

We see each other almost everyday.
We laugh and talk and drink together.
All of a sudden, we're people. And we're in each other's lives.

Gateway

Sometimes the bridges we have to cross make our feet bleed.
But I'll suck it up, because it's better to be wounded and heal, than to stay in one place forever.

Who Says You Can't Go Home

Walking across foreign lands
Among foreign eyes, and alien sand
The air is different, you fall in
Hearts are different in every within
And you begin

Who are you, and where are you now
What will you do with your dreams?
They seem so strange now and somehow
You’ve forgotten your old gods

You painted someone else’s canvas
You’re wearing a strange perfume
In a house of strange jewel glass
On a stage, in a strange room

Are you reading lines the people want to hear?
Have you forgotten why you are here?
Are you an actor now, instead
Of the figure in your dreams,
Or is she dead?

Mourn her, bring her back
Or is she only hiding behind her veil
Of heavy cloth and dusty gold
Of promises, of secrets, of hopes untold

There is a time when you must leave
She will return, and you might grieve
But the strange…it’s for strangers
You know where you belong.
