Shadowplay


This pic and post are dedicated to my friends who have lost their lives over the years because they were different from the regular crowd. You are not forgotten.

"i must have been sleeping, i must have been drinking,
i havent been dreaming about you for years. there was a sharp
turn and a sunburn i was too cool for high school that year.

must have have been new years. no one invited you, took things too far but i missed you and your antics. you were lonesome and blue-eyed and so special to us.

you could have taken a long break instead of a long drop from a high place. ten years i never spoke your name. now it feels good to say it. you're my friend again.

said he forgave you, i said i hated you, he was the bigger man, i was sixteen. all the innocence it took well i guess you finally made the year book. that year. that year.

you could have taken a long break instead of a long drop, instead of a leap of faith, ten years i never spoke your name. now it feels good to say that you're my friend again. you're my friend again."  Lyrics by Brandi Carlile

  1. I dream of a day when we live in a world where everyone is valued and where our differences and uniqueness are celebrated. The regular crowd is highly overrated. Until there's room for everyone, we're all in danger.
