a. "And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything seems like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know your alive
And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am..."

Though I kept on trying I could not get it right;
For you, girl There's just not enough love in the world...”

When even friends seem out to harm you

['November Rain' by: Guns N' Roses]
d. "I took a walk around the world to
Ease my troubled mind
I left my body laying somewhere
In the sands of time
I watched the world float to the dark

I feel there is nothing I can do..."
