Lighting Matches In The Rain

the things we do in spite of. . . (I miss you)

i will never stop trying
there is always a chance

to start that fire inside

lighting matches in rain

you can call me insane

still i will never stop trying

as there is always that chance

and not one thing is certain. . .

we must never stop trying 

   to find our light in the darkness

no matter the weather

   you must never stop trying

[Gee]

I was chatting to a work colleague yesterday whose daughter topped herself on 7th December last year, her own daughters birthday. The above perfectly described how she is trying to find a way to move forward, but is terrified to do so because of the reality of her daughters death finally becoming a truth.
The counsellors tell her that she is suffering from some form of PTSD....so, so sad. I've had a few phone conversations with her that would break your heart.
Anyway, waffling done, hope you are well David.

Ouch, that's a pretty harsh reality your friend is enduring. That's not something I would wish on anyone, not even my worst of enemies. ptsd on it's own is something very, very devastating and literally rewires your brain in a way not easy to change. Tell your friend to try smoking weed... it's helped me immeasurably.

Thanks doll face.

Why you like this is not something you need, or even should, explain. It's meant to be kinda vague and used in a very personal way.
