"All too often we take the little Sparrow for granted - small though she may be, she is certainly powerful. It is her slightness in size that gives her advantages. She reminds us we do not have to have the big stuff (cars, houses, etc.) to be important, and we do not have to have the loudest voice in order be heard. "

Everytime you log off
and i'm stuck here in this cold house
with only the flawed way i can remember everyone's voice
not well enough, not convincing at all
I can remember the shape of my days and the muted pulse that pulls me through
it feels like sand in my fingers and more sand coming
everytime you do that you leave me without wings
without a lifeline, or connection to anything
i'm like a cartoon in the stratosphere, giving that comically horrified glance to the audience, and then youre back
and i breathe
and i wonder how and when i got this lonely

friday
in may
strep makes me quieter, tired, and i eat almost nothing
i still feel like friends are like daisies crawling up through concrete
sparse.... few and far between
i don't care about my hair anymore
and i let my nails chip and grow
i'm going to download more yeasayer,
go to a student council banquet just because i can
without a bit of inhibition
i've got a stretch of summer and a room to clean
dusty sunshine fills my room,
i'll get my books back and take my antibiotics...
and i rather like the girl i'm becoming
the girl i am

God, i hate
general negativity everywhere i turn
i really, really hate it
come summer, so i can sleep
see few faces, and retreat
into a thoughtless ease where i only have to concentrate
on those select three
so i can try to regroup
before dreaded 1st semester
before the circle completes and repeats
and i have to just start over
before fall phases and empty winter, dead trees
before all these days bleed and i wake up with no peace
just come summer
so i can rest and recover
and pretend that its really that easy

im a good kid
and you think very highly of me
so i should be a good kid
so i can think very highly of me, too
and know that you arent mistaken

You know that phrase
"If you murdered me, I'd worry about getting blood on your carpet"
Well
We both know you didn't exactly murder me
and I didn't exactly mind getting blood on your carpet
But then maybe
in the afterlife............
i'd see you and we would start talking about my new shoes
and eat chips and salsa and smile and in the end
it doesn't matter who murdered who or how much blood i got on your carpet
just matters that we're together again at all
and that's how i see it,
and that's why you're not alone
