Letters to not-so-random people.
I have to do this because I don't have the guts to say things to people's faces. I know that may surprise some of you. But there you have it, I'm a coward.
-As bad as it sounds, I've gotten used to you not being around. I don't like it. In fact, I hate it. But what can I possibly do? It's almost like it's normal to me now, and that's not something I'm proud of. I miss you more than anything, and I'll just have to live with that.
-Yeah, I hate summer. And I used to think it was for a certain reason. But I now I know that it's because of you. Seriously? All I want to do is sleep and be a normal kid and be lazy for the first summer EVER. But you will you let that happen? Of course not. Heaven forbid I have a good time every once in awhile. I decided to not play basketball this summer because of all the time that it takes. And even though you were completely against the idea, I thought you accepted it. Obviously, I was wrong.
-You are the only person that is allowed to feel anything. You're allowed to be upset, angry, happy, selfish, and whatever else. BUT if anyone else shows emotion, they get taken down. I try to communicate with you, but most of the time, you don't let me.
-I hurt, and I don't know why.
-If you happen to be reading this, go away. I'm not sorry.

It's going to be a long summer.
I'm tired of everything. I'm tired of waking up and getting out of bed. I'm tired of picking up the phone. I'm tired of being here, with nowhere else to go. I'm tired of trying. I'm tired of being. Also, I am tired of being pessimistic. But I don't see that changing anytime soon.

The screen door slams
Mary' dress waves
Like a vision she dances across the porch
As the radio plays
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely
Hey that's me and I want you only
Don't turn me home again
I just can't face myself alone again
Don't run back inside
Darling you know just what I'm here for
So you're scared and you're thinking
That maybe we ain't that young anymore
Show a little faith there's magic in the night
You ain't a beauty but hey you're alright
Oh and that's alright with me
You can hide 'neath your covers
And study your pain
Make crosses from your lovers
Throw roses in the rain
Waste your summer praying in vain
For a saviour to rise from these streets
Well now I'm no hero
That's understood
All the redemption I can offer girl
Is beneath this dirty hood
With a chance to make it good somehow
Hey what else can we do now?
Except roll down the window
And let the wind blow
Back your hair
Well the night's busting open
These two lanes will take us anywhere
We got one last chance to make it real
To trade in these wings on some wheels
Climb in back
Heaven's waiting on down the tracks
Oh-oh come take my hand
We're riding out tonight to case the promised land
Oh-oh Thunder Road oh Thunder Road
Lying out there like a killer in the sun
Hey I know it's late we can make it if we run
Oh Thunder Road sit tight take hold
Thunder Road
Well I got this guitar
And I learned how to make it talk
And my car's out back
If you're ready to take that long walk
From your front porch to my front seat
The door's open but the ride it ain't free
And I know you're lonely
For words that I ain't spoken
But tonight we'll be free
All the promises'll be broken
There were ghosts in the eyes
Of all the boys you sent away
They haunt this dusty beach road
In the skeleton frames of burned out Chevrolets
They scream your name at night in the street
Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet
And in the lonely cool before dawn
You hear their engines roaring on
But when you get to the porch they're gone
On the wind so Mary climb in
It's town full of losers
And I'm pulling out of here to win
