Don't let what you have to heal from blind you to how much there is to heal for.
Time is really for those who really need it. I mean, I deal with it. A lot of people are slaves to the second, minute hand. I can't do that!
The woman in you is the worry in me.
People who try to define their spirituality sometimes are annoying, 'cause the spirit is something you feel and let guide you and humbly respect.
There's so much there, there's so much to heal for.
Every time feels like my first time. And I just find that the process of it feeds into one's own self-obsession.
It just takes a pebble to bring down a good man.
In my life I have been blessed In my life I have been cursed I have lived the best of times I have suffered the worst Do you know which road you're traveling? Do you know where you want to be? With so many roads to travel, There's just one can set you free.
I don't kid myself in thinking that I'm on the front lines. I know the people who are on the front lines. I mean there are people in some freakin' significant places making on-the-ground social front line change. I've marched. I've put feet on the ground for what I believe and what I'm against with no compromise. And there are people who are risking a whole hell of a lot more than me to make change, that's for damn sure.
You can run away from home But you can't run away from your pain I sit here alone There's always someone else to blame.
Now that you've grown up You can finally learn to be a child We made it to the end of the world But we'll never make it out alive.
Don't be discouraged by writer's block. Writer's block just means you need to listen to other music.
I want to try to be who I am today, not who I was yesterday.
Sometimes I feel I know strangers Better than I know my friends Why must a beginning Be the means to an end? The stones from my enemies These wounds will mend But I cannot survive The roses from my friends.
