I actually wrote it January 2nd, so I'll still have to write another within this 24 hour period.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Today.</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Today I am feeling particularly strong</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Like even if everything went wrong</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">I could still get along</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">I could probably move on</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">I might even make myself a cup of herbal tea</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">And pretend a pretty English man was interviewing me</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">About the effect I had on the current music industry</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">And he asks me about you</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">And I say 'who?'</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Tonight.</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Tonight I'm going to break apart my heart</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">And sacrifice it for the sake of art</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">At least it's a start</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">I'm really just being smart.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">I might even make myself something with a little caffeine</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Pretend some pretty girl was asking me questions for her zine</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">About the effect I had on the current theatre scene</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">And she asks me about you</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">And I say 'who?'</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">You'll just be a name on a piece of paper</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">You'll just be a line in a song</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">You'll just be a silhouette on an album cover</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">You will be long gone.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Tomorrow.</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Tomorrow I'm not going to feel this way</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">I won't be able to fake that everything's okay</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">But that can wait.</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">I can handle it today.</span><br /><br />This is how I felt today, like even if something horrible happened, I'd be able to deal with it, even if I couldn't tomorrow.<br />I showed it to the person it was written about.<br />The person was not pleased.<br />They said it was 'hostile.'<br /><br />I don't think it's hostile.<br /><br />Love,<br />Kate<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/818811421494463418-7457275658883323690?l=katewritessongs.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Katehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03649815420197053632noreply@blogger.com2
