Carry You Around

how pleased can one
sun setting make you
if you humble yourself
to it?
how grateful can you
really say that you are
just to be here and live
through it?
and when beauty asks a question
how often do you reply?
how often do you wonder
about life on the other side?
on the other side of sorrow
on the other side of rage
on the other side of ok
ok at all
in any way
imagine what loneliness
will drive someone to do
now multiply that times me
and multiply that times you
now imagine what it would take to make this all happen again
and just when you think you're gonna cry
multiply that times ten
you
are distracting me
from all other activities
and i know the fact of your presence
will dominate my memory
of this restaurant, this table
this day and this town
cuz i carry you baby
i carry you around

What a lovely little Ani song that is! I've listened to it about 5 times today and can't get it out of my head. My favorite part is "how grateful can you
really say that you are
just to be here and live
through it?" Because I am grateful, I'm grateful everyday for the people in my life and what they've done for me even if it doesn't always seem like it. I am grateful for my sister who will always be there to get my mind off of things, my roommate for always being there with open arms and caring words to say, my friends at home for making me laugh more than anyone else, my freinds on here especially artpunk for saying the sweetest things to me and making me want to actually get to meet them, and Elise for trying to understand me even when times are hard.

I just want to say that I love you all more than you know! And I'll always be here for any of you whenever you need me.
