We all get caught up.
We carry the world on our shoulders.
We all feel lost, lonely and afraid sometimes. That's the reality of it whether we want to accept it or not.
You can't expect everything to be bright and sunny all the time. It has to rain sooner or later.
When that rain starts to pour, you can either sit back and watch it happen or go out into it and embrace it.
The world can be your enemy or it can be your friend. It is what you want to make of it.
So what's wrong with taking a chance with people? What's wrong with putting yourself out there for once?
What do you have to loose? Afterall, isn't that what makes us grow as human beings?
Sometimes all we need is someone who's there to give us that little bit of comfort. To tell us that things will be okay.
Everyone needs assurance, thats why other people exist.
I believe that's one of the purposes of our existence. To help those around us.
So, you people (yes you) out there who are afraid to let anyone in, let go of that fear. What's the worst that could happen?

Fallen

by Sarah Mclachlan

Heaven bend to take my hand
And lead me through the fire
Be the long awaited answer
To a long and painful fight
Truth be told I've tried my best
But somewhere along the way
I got caught up in all there was to offer
And the cost was so much more than I could bear


Though I've tried, I've fallen
I have sunk so low
I have messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so

We all begin with good intent
When love was raw and young
We believed that we could change ourselves
The past can be undone
But we carry on our back the burdens time always reveals
In the lonely light of morning
The wound that would not heal
It's the bitter taste of losing everything
I have held so dear

Though I've tried, I've fallen
I have sunk so low
I have messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so

Heaven bend to take my hand
I've nowhere left to turn
I'm lost to those I thought were friends
To everyone I know
Oh they turned their heads embarassed
Pretend that they don't see
But it's one misstep one slip before you know it
And there doesn't seem a way to be redeemed

Though I've tried, I've fallen
I have sunk so low
I have messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so
