Diggin up old journal entries just because

12/15/2007

Alone again on
a train to the city
I hold myself tight
won't let go
Cause I'm alright
and I don't need
anything but me
this diary
and a window
to look out of
Cars whizz by
towns pass
but I'm still here
and I'm still me
and I take comfort
in that

There is a fire in my soul
that frightens me less and less
As I realize that it's
what makes me strong
and I can't go wrong
when everything is passion


When I go back and read these things I can remember exactly how I felt when I was writing it.
This time I was on a train to New York coming back from a weekend visit to Norwood. I was curled up in my seat, ipod on, staring longingly out the window. I had this stellar combination going on. Proud and lonely. Nervous, fearless. Only two years ago but feels like another lifetime.
