Miserable At Best

Hi, I'm Elizabeth and I'm having trouble writing at the moment. I'm going through a really depressing time... and there's this song, Miserable At Best by Mayday Parade, that really connects to me at the moment. Here are the lyrics to the song:

"Katie, don't cry, I know
You're trying your hardest
And the hardest part is letting go
Of the nights we shared
Ocala is calling and you know it's haunting
But compared to your eyes, nothing shines quite as bright
And when we look to the sky, its not mine, but i want it so

Let's not pretend like you're alone tonight
(I know he's there)
You're probably hanging out and making eyes
(while across the room, he stares)
I bet he gets the nerve to walk the floor
And ask my girl to dance, and she'll say yes

Because these words were never easier for me to say
Or her to second guess
But I guess
That I can live without you but
Without you I'll be miserable at best

You're all that I hoped I'd find
In every single way
And everything I could give
Is everything you couldn't take
Cause nothing feels like home, you're a thousand miles away
And the hardest part of living
Is just taking breaths to stay

Because I know I'm good for something
I just haven't found it yet
But I need it

So let's not pretend like you're alone tonight
(I know he's there)
You're probably hanging out and making eyes
(while across the room, he stares)
I bet he gets the nerve to walk the floor
And ask my girl to dance, and she'll say yes

Because these words were never easier for me to say
Or her to second guess
But I guess
That I can live without you but
Without you I'll be miserable at best

Ladada ladada ladadaoh ohhh

And this will be the first time in a week
That I'll talk to you
And I can't speak
It's been three whole days since I've had sleep
Because I dream of his lips on your cheek
And I got the point that I should leave you alone
But we both know that I'm not that strong
And I miss the lips that made me fly

So let's not pretend like you're alone tonight
(I know he's there)
You're probably hanging out and making eyes
(while across the room, he stares)
I bet he gets the nerve to walk the floor
And ask my girl to dance, and she'll say yes

Because these words were never easier for me to say
Or her to second guess
But I guess
That I can live without you but
Without you I'll be miserable
And I can live without you
But without you I'll be miserable
And I can live without you
Oh, without you I'll be miserable at best"

Alright, so here is what I want from you. Enter the contest and I'll give you a specific set of lines/quote from the song, and write about it. There's a lot going on in the song, and I don't want all of the poems to be about the same exact thing. Here are the rules:

1. If you write something before I give you the quote, I'll warn you, then I will dq (I'm nice, it'll probably take a while before I do, but oh I will!).

2. Please write directly about the quote from it that I give you. It can also incorporate the rest of the song, but mainly about those lines.

3. The common rules: Moderately good grammer/spelling, no chatspeak or other weird talking, I'm 14 no erotic, cursing is fine though.

4. No epics please, but I won't freak out if it's long. Keep it over 20 lines, I want to read something of substance.

5. You can enter twice if you want.

6. Please put your name in the authors notes. (warning then dq)


I hope everyone understands! I will add points for honorable mentions as the contest goes on. Also, if you really don't like your quote, I can give you a new one. Awesome, I really really really look forward to entries! <3
