From Underneath I wanted youTo see the first thing that I ever poured my heart intoYou'll never know the pain that I've been throughI'm not so sure you'll ever knowAnd so I'll make you understand the words that built my lifeWere not from you, but from my father's hand
Do you remember that cold day in DecemberLeaving everything you knew behindI may never know how it feels to stand beside you(Or take your hand) when I need some directionAnd I may never know what it's like to see you smiling (Back at me) or know you'd be proud of me
From underneath I promise to erase the pastAnd let my heart forgive the former you Replace the dark of old and start brand newI never thought I'd see the dayI walk toward the end of life and turn the other wayI'm reaching out to take my Father's hand
Do you remember that cold day in DecemberLeaving everything you knew behindI may never know how it feels to stand beside youOr take your hand when I need some directionAnd I may never know what it's like to see you smiling(Back at me) or know you'd be proud of me

Dulce - The Last Night by Skillet
You come to me with scars on your wrist You tell me this will be the last night feeling like this I just came to say goodbye I didn't want you to see me cry, I'm fine But I know it's a lie
[Chorus:]This is the last night you'll spend alone Look me in the eyes so I know you know I'm everywhere you want me to be The last night you'll spend alone I'll wrap you in my arms and I won't let go I'm everything You need me to be
Your parents say everything is your fault But they don't know you like I know you they don't know you at all I'm so sick of when they say It's just a phase, you'll be o.k. you're fine But I know it's a lie
[Chorus:]This is the last night you'll spend alone Look me in the eyes so I know you know I'm everywhere you want me to be The last night you'll spend alone I'll wrap you in my arms and I won't let go I'm everything You need me to be The last night away from me
[Bridge:]The night is so long when everything's wrong If you give me your hand I will help you hold on Tonight Tonight
[Chorus:]This is the last night you'll spend alone Look me in the eyes so I know you know I'm everywhere you want me to be The last night you'll spend alone I'll wrap you in my arms and I won't let go I'm everything You need me to be
[Altro:]I won't let you say goodbye And I'll be your reason why The last night away from me Away from me

Communication
Communication is a funny thing.
It is the one thing that is most necessary for relationships yet the one thing that people fear most.
Why do they fear it do you ask?
Because communication reveals information. Information becomes knowledge. Knowledge is power, and power in others hands leads to vulnerability.
People don't want to feel vulnerable, they don't want people to know what they keep locked in their mental and emotional closets, no matter how much the other person may truly care.
In a way it is a pride issue. We feel that our privacy is more important than the relationship.
Of course I am a repeated offender of this. I have found that telling people things about me is one of the hardest things for me to do. I fear vulnerability, exposure, to be laid bare to where someone can see me, can see me in my entirety, the good and the bad.
but sometimes that is what i need to do. Sometimes vulnerability is a good thing. It builds trust. so i need to start trusting people more. Because if i can't trust others than how can i expect them to trust me?
Without trust we get stuck in a vicious spiral that goes nowhere. And it all starts with communication...

Sixteen
Well today is the day.
Today is the day that i turn sixteen. The age of potential. The age of exploration. The age of discovery. The age of Opportunity.
Many adventure novels begin with a sixteen year old boy as the hero, which is cool to me because i always looked up to those guys as being old but now that i am sixteen i see how young they really were. How scared they must have felt facing the world so young.
yet that is where i find myself. I face the world young, inexperienced, and naive. Yet i move on knowing where i have come from, and who stands with me.
So the adventure begins. It will be fun, exciting, and challenging. I know i'll screw up along the way at some point yet the true test of a hero is their ability to get up and keep going.
