Why do I even bother trying to make things better?
It's not like I'm above these petty human limitations.
Idealistically dreaming of making things right,
And restoring the unattainable balance that never had been.
I don't want to choose one side because neither is quite right,
But remaining in the middle and trying to reach peace is tearing me apart.
I dream yet again of a way to find peace without offending friends or choosing sides,
But I fear it's come down to that point.
I know where my direct alliance lies,
And with whom I'll stay till the end,
But when all the smoke clears I know that I won't like the cost;
that I will have lost the faith of those others that this placed me against.
Fuck this all.
I may still be doomed to failure,
but in the face of failure I'll try.

...thank you
duh not everything can be perfect...NOTHING ever is perfect. but ben.......thank you. i know that this really is tearing you apart, and i regret that we have had to bring you into our part of this whole thing, no matter how involved you were at the beginning. But I just want to thank for all of the support and help that you've given me, and given kate, and everybody else and everything else that you have done. We seriously would not be here if it wasnt for you. No matter what someone says or does, don't let them drag you down. You are worth too much, and trust me.....you will ALWAYS be better than those who try to drag you down, and I think you know what I mean by this. I will talk to you again as soon as I get a chance, but thank you. Love Shannon -
