It was books that made me feel that perhaps I was not completely alone. They could be honest with me, and I with them. Reading your words, what you wrote, how you were lonely sometimes and afraid, but always brave; the way you saw the world, its colors and textures and sounds, I felt--I felt the way you thought, hoped, felt, dreamt. I felt I was dreaming and thinking and feeling with you. I dreamed what you dreamed, wanted what you wanted--and then I realized that truly I just wanted you.” -Cassandra Clare A bright moon rests in the sky It's light reflecting Dancing on the soft white snow And every hour Another section of the world Lights up Fireworks Music Screaming Celebrating As the countdown ends Fires burn, Outside Inside Burning away the old wood The sins Giving us a chance to start afresh As the countdown ends All over the globe People make oaths That they will eventually fail to uphold Resolutions That will never come to pass And the white snow Cleansing the Earth of sins Allowing us to start again To try again for a better future As the countdown ends Celebrate the past People who have gone Moments that have passed Friendships that have faded away Things that have shaped you, Changed you Don’t cry for the loss But rejoiced for what they gave you Celebrate the future Enjoy the current moment With friends and with family And prepare for the opportunities A new year brings As the countdown ends Now is you chance Make a resolution And keep it, Change yourself for the better Live life Laugh Love Cry Make mistakes Life will never be perfect It will always screw you over No matter how hard you try You'll always fuck it up But live it to the fullest Because every moment of failure Means a moment of success Every minute of sorrow Means one of joy As the countdown ends You have a chance Live for the past Honor the things that brought you here Live for the moment And live for the future That you have a chance to create This is your life, Live it the way you feel is right This could be your year Now is you chance to make it so |
