"And
still I dream he'll come to meThat we will live the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms we cannot weather"
"And
still I dream he'll come to me
That we will live the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms we cannot weather"
"I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seemed
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed".
"I Dreamed A Dream"
By By Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg
Lyrics by Herbert Kretzmer
Suicide.
I oft consider the subject to be one of those "open
taboos". People joke about it openly, turn it into a
comic routine. But a lot of people I know never really sat down
and talked about it seriously.
Some people think that I do these kind of pics to "get a
rise" out of people, or to provoke a reaction. In some
cases, that might be true. But in this one, I think this
not something I should really joke about. I was thinking about
Meg's past when I looked at the original pic. When she sold her
soul to save her boyfriend, only to have him leave her. So
thinking of her as suicidal would not too much of a stretch in my
case; but I'm certain that others would rebuke me otherwise about
this.
I've got a lot of insperation from Susan Egan's redention of "I Dreamed a Dream". So that helped as well. But in the end, I found myself depressed and drained, and saddened.
