6/2/19: Steady On

Steady on, Hamsters.

“China gets broken
And it will never be the same
Boats on the ocean
Find their way back again
I am weaving
Like a drunkard
Like a balloon up in the air
I am needing a puncture and someone
To point me somewhere
I'm gonna keep my head on straight
I just hope it's not too late
Open up the gate I go straight on, steady on
Steady on!

I was feeling imploded
A wooden smile, a wooden heart
Then things exploded
Like rockets in the dark
Now I'm pulling out splinters
And I'm off to hibernate somewhere
For the nuclear winter
Of another love affair
Cause he seemed like a miracle
I ate it up like cereal
But it was something like shrapnel
Steady on!

It's like ten miles of a two-lane
On a South Dakota wheat plain
In the middle of a hard rain
A slow boat or a fast train
I am gonna keep my head on straight
I'm gonna keep my head on straight
Steady on!”

1/1/19: Only You

“No one is going to love you 
exactly like you imagine.
No one is ever going to read 
your mind and take every star 
from the sky at the perfect 
time and hand it to you.
No one is going to show up 
at your door on a horse, 
with a shoe you lost.
Do you understand?
That's why you have to love
yourself enough, so that 
any other love just adds 
more candles to the cake 
you've already iced.”
     - Stephanie Bennet-Henry
