Pens, Paper and Bleeding Ink:

Feelings. Both a blessing and a curse, to be cliché. It is painful sometimes, feeling something you wish you did not or would be better off without. But, it is not that simple. You cannot always change the way you feel. Occasionally, I run head first into a brick wall with this one... at least it serves for some grand songwriting.

My least favorite lack of control revolves around my feelings toward others. Although this can be a broad topic, let's stick to the ever overly discussed... Relationships. I am quite opinionated and, furthermore, rather blunt about it. I don't usually put my heart out there, but it is completely yours once you receive it.

Luckily, you can make copies of keys: for emergencies, for backup, for loved ones. Apparently, I have made a few copies... or maybe there were a handful of original copies that landed in the right hands. I have the best friends in the entire world. If they were action figures, they would come equipped with hot glue guns, Ben & Jerry's and the keys to my heart.

"Maybe our girlfriends are our soulmates and guys are just people to have fun with." - Sex and the City

So, with all the ups & downs... bumps & bruises... tears & heart breaks... I know I will have them. My own personal brand of superheroes. The Justice League to my Batman. And, when the pens run out of ink... when the paper is all used up... when the songs play their last note... I'll still have them. To make it better. To fix the cracks or share the smiles.
