with downcast eyes

With downcast eyes
There’s more to living than being alive

Are you where you thought you’d be
So beautiful and only twenty-three
Opposition rests in the hearts
With no, with no, with no opportunity
It’s not that we don’t talk
It’s just no one really listens and honesty fades
Like a politician lost in the course
All smiles and no one remembers our names

With downcast eyes
There’s more to living than being alive

So this song is really getting at me today along with everything else in the world. I feel like the past month has been a blur. A necessary but highly destructive blur. One of those whirlwinds that swoop you up so fast that you are not sure where you are going and when you will come down but you know when you do that the destruction left in the wake of this storm is going to be a huge mess to clean up. And it has done just that. I feel like I need to find a balance. I need to do things that make me truly happy. I need to set goals and achieve them. And I feel like this is such a fucking cliche story. I think that it is something that has been going on over and over and over and over in my life as well as everyone around me.  I guess we will see if this time is any different….
