Isn't it funny how you can find songs that match you exact mood ?
I am somewhat of a writer - and this part of writing frustrates me - all my moods that I have I try to write for - but then I hear a song that matches my mood perfectly and then BAM ! My writing just became a mear copy of someone else's work...
I have been in an overall good mood lately - I have been seeing nothing but the good in the world. etc etc... Well I starting thinking about what I could write. Well I also love the band Staind - mostly because when I sing I sound like that guy (i dont know his name) - I listen to their cd's all the time - and while I was thinking about what to write i was listening too.
Well one of their famous songs started to play and it totally took over my mind because THAT is the mood that I feel. And then I was just like 'damn'.
So yeah - I would have had put a poem on here today if it wasn't for the above reasons - But instead I am going to put the lyrics to the song.

So Far Away
Band: Staind
Album: 14 Shades Of Grey
This is my life
It's not what it was before
All these feelings I've shared
And these dreams
That I'd never lived before
Somebody shake me 'cause I
I must be sleeping
Now that we're here, it's so far away
All the struggle we thought was all in vain
They all finally start to go away
Now that we're here, it's so far away
And I feel like I can face the day
I can forgive, and I'm not ashamed
To be the person I am today
These are my words
That I've never said before
I think I'm doing okay
And this smile
That I've never shown before
Somebody shake me 'cause I
I must be sleeping
Now that we're here, it's so far away
All the struggle we thought was all in vain
They all finally start to go away
Now that we're here, it's so far away
And I feel like I can face the day
I can forgive, and I'm not ashamed
To be the person I am today
I'm so afraid of waking
Please don't shake me
Afraid of waking
Please dont shake me
Now that we're here, it's so far away
All the struggle we thought was all in vain
They all finally start to go away
Now that we're here, it's so far away
And I feel like I can face the day
I can forgive, and I'm not ashamed
To be the person I am today

There are a few bands that do this to me all the time. In fact if I was to gather up the songs and place them in a certain order you would have my entire life written out in songs. Korn, Limp Bizkit, and Staind.
Just listen to their lyrics when you hear them and you will learn a part of me.
But most of all read the lyrics above to learn how I feel lately.
