Numbers

sitting in my room

in a big city

insignificant as can be

with dreams that cannot be tamed

they say it’s bound to happen

so quit your wishing

it’s gonna take us for a ride

and we’ll have no say

i guess we live in a world

where our lives are just numbers

and we’re waiting for more numbers to take us away

but you said this won’t last (repeat)

and so i close my eyes and continue to dream

Let It Be Me

What does it mean to be a good friend?
Forget the labels. I'd just like to see broken people accepting their brokenness and owning up to their faults. Readily available and forgiving. Genuine individuals with ears open, iPhones off. Eyes peering into each other's souls. Sighs of relief and comfort, knowing that each and every one of us longs for the same thing. Tearful vulnerability. Words of affirmation. Gentle challenges. Quiet sometimes silent understanding. Imperfect growth but growth nonetheless.


That's when you need someone
Someone that you can call
And when all your faith is gone
Feels like you can't go on
Let it be me
Let it be me
If it's a friend that you need
Let it be me
Let it be me _Ray LaMontagne ("Let It Be Me")
