Song of the New Year

OK, so I've noticed people (myself included) have been struggling through this or that and ya what the proverbial "They" say is true 'Life's hard'. You just have to remind yourself that life is hard for everyone so get over it. I mean what else are you going to do? You can sit there and whine but if you're in that mood no matter what at people say it's not going to help until you snap out of it, that's why the January song of the month comes from the year 1999. You might find it a bit harsh but in reality (at least I believe) it pretty much sums up life.

Child Psychology

by Black Box Recorder

I stopped talking when I was six years old

I didn't want anything more to do with the outside world

I was happy being quiet

But of course they wouldn't leave me alone

My parents tried every trick in the book

From speech therapists to child psychologists

They even tried bribery I could have anything,

as long as I said it out loud

Life is unfair, kill yourself or get over it

Life is unfair, kill yourself or get over it

Of course this episode didn't last forever

I'd made my point and it was time to move on

To peel away the next layer of deceit

And see what new surprises lay in store

My school report said I showed no interest

'A disruptive influence' I felt sorry for them in a way

And when they finally expelled me

It didn't mean a thing

Life is unfair, kill yourself or get over it

Life is unfair, kill yourself or get over it

("At that time she stopped what she was doing, she stopped playing...

she stared, she had the facial grimacing...

and then the psychiatrist was saying, "Julie, Julie, can you hear me?

Can you open your eyes? Can you stick out your tongue?"

And all of a sudden, Julie struck out")

The November when I came home the Christmas decorations were already up

Spray on snow, coloured flashing lights

And an artificial tree that played Silent Night

Over and over again

My parents welcomed me with loving arms

But within an hour were back at each others throats

Normal, happy childhood back on course

Batteries not included

Life is unfair, kill yourself or get over it

Life is unfair, kill yourself or get over it

Life is unfair, kill yourself or get over it

Life is unfair, kill yourself or get over it

Note: I really DON'T want you to kill yourself, I just think we should all get over it. If you feel suicidal remember your life is 100% worth living and people obviously love you, feel free to contact me on Twitter and we'll get over it together.

I was once given (by a bus driver headed to NYC not just to me but the whole bus) a very touching message that I would like to pass along. "If no one has told you this today: I love you".
