Lost In Reality

It's been a while.  A long while since I last posted.  And to be honest, I've pretty much have been doing nothing much these past few weeks.  Just drifting, once again.  Drifting through life and watching it pass by, always a step too late. 

Actually, yesterday, I learned that I had won a Haiku Poetry Contest for two (awesome) books and a giftcard.  Truthfully, I was really surprised.  I'm more of a free-verse person.  It made my day yesterday and today; just for my writing to be recognized by two excellent writers.  Thanks to Ellen Oh and Cindy Pon. 

Lost in reality, just running through people and tripping on pain.  Drifting through clouds, falling into life.

Here's some more lyrics.  I can never really get sick of Rise Against, their music is really... meaningful.


Rise Against - Injection
Do you spend your days counting the hours you're awake?
And when night covers the sky you find yourself doing the same
There's a burden you've been bearing in spite of all your prayers
There's a light turned off inside your heart
Can you remember what it's like to care?

Knees are weak, hands are shaking, I can't breathe

So give me the drug, keep me alive
Give me what's left of my life
Don't let me go, whooaa
Pull this plug, let me breathe
On my own, I'm finally free
Don't let me go, whooaa

The trail of crumbs you left somehow got lost along the way
If you never meant to leave then you only had to stay
But the memories that haunt us are cherished just the same
As the ones that bring us closer to the sky, no matter how grey
And yet I fall, through these clouds, reaching, screaming
