An Entry That All Should Read: It’s Time

I’ve had my hardships and troubles, mostly they are in my mind. I keep thinking about all the troubles I think I have and all the needs nobody wants or will fulfill. Maybe it’s sheer desperation or some odd realization, but I’m forgetting all the pain and all the anger. I’m forgetting it not completely, but I’m forgetting the why’s and the what’s and I’m just remembering the feeling. I’m remembering the way I feel by being left alone and I’m realizing that ignoring all these people who abandon me, it’s not helping. It’s making me one of them. Well, I’m going to continue to do just as I do, call em and call em until they get the message. And maybe one day I’ll tell them that it made me angry that they don’t even acknowledge I exist unless we run into each other, but I probably won’t. When I think back on my first entries, or actually, the middle entries where I was hopeful, I remember why now. I believed that I could make a difference and I hoped that I would do great things, and I think I’ve already done that, I’ve already begun the process of giving others hope. And I think it was selfishness, a justified one, because we all need to indulge ourselves every once in a while, but a selfishness that made me sad. It made me sad that nobody else was trying to give me hope, they were just using me for the exact thing that I wanted to do for them. I think I had a really good night’s sleep…:) A lyric that I’d like everyone to read…….

IT’S TIME:

Midnight descends from the dark side of the moon,

And the clouds fade into the sunset’s hue,

Bringing the burning stars right into view,

We forget they’re always burning there,

Because we can reach the closer sun so soon.

I can feel the emotion pulsing in my blood,

It feeds upon the night, it feeds upon the blind,

I embrace it more and more with passing time,

And maybe it’s just an illusion,

But my eyes seem to believe the change is good.

It’s time,

To be a hero

The world really believes,

To be a lover

Who doesn’t worry about his needs.

It’s time

To not hope

For a better day

But to make

One in every way.

It’s time….

It’s time…..

It seems we fear the best and not the worst,

So afraid to see all the time we’ve spent

Being something less than what was meant,

And all we really need is someone to take a step

Now, before all, I’ll jump from the edge, first.

And if you need a hand, I’ll lend it,

I won’t ask for anything in return,

No matter how much the need may burn,

I’ll pull you through to a better day,

And if you’re hurt on the way, I’ll mend it.

It’s time

For a savior

To forget about reward,

For the work

To be done no matter how hard,

It’s time

To not hope

For a better day

But to make one

In every way.

It’s time

It’s time

We can all be angels if we just believe

In the love that binds us all together

And if we work and hope we can make it better

Take one last look at the wastelands

That you’ve lived in and pack your bags and leave.

Heaven’s not so hard to reach,

If you are willing to extend a hand,

To pull another up to the promised land,

And you may seem so weak

But strength lies within your beliefs

It’s time

To remember,

That you are just a part

To sacrifice

Your beating heart,

It’s time…..

It’s time…..

It’s time

To be a hero

That the world believes,

To be a lover

That forgets his needs

It’s time

To not hope

For a better day

But to make one

In every way….

Open your eyes,

And finally see,

It’s time…..
