Poetry and Songs about Life in General
- I Don't Know
- This is the first thing I've written in a LONG time (aside from Jimmy Carter Musical). I'm really pleased with it and it 's kind of along the vein of song writing I've really been aiming for for a while now, so I'm ecstatic. And I've got music for it, I'll record it sometime within the next 2 weeks. Written April 20-22, 2005.
- Scars of Comfort
- Written February 15, 2005.
- Self-Restraining Hatred
- Written in Grand Central Station about how my writing is affected by my medication and girls in my life. Written December 20, 2004.
- Holding Back the Flame
- I don't remember writing this, but I found it in one of my old notebooks from last year. Reminds me of what I wrote like in 8th and 9th grade, the Rage Against the Machine inspired style writing of anti-conformity. I revised it a bit, I don't have much to say about it. Written sometime between January and May 2004.
- Flood
- I don't remember writing this one either. I think it was written during a period of time when it was constantly raining. That's the best I can figure about it. Written sometime between June and August 2004.
- Cloudy and Hopeful
- Written in the first week at Hampshire when it was raining like a bitch. I was doing my laundry and I just started writing while looking outside at the rain. Written between September 2-8, 2004.
- Life's Little Trials
- How predictable life can be and we always act and hope instead of logic even though we know how futile it can be. Written August of 2004.
- Northern Lights
- I don't remember writing this, but it's one of my favorites. There's not much to say for it. Written between January and March of 2004.
- The Drunken Goodnight
- Don't have much to say for it. My first serious attempt to not be emo. I can't tell if I was successful or not. Written February 2, 2005.
- A Name
- When I was skiing at Camelback Mountain on January 6, 2002, I saw a person younger than myself fall off a ski lift at least 50 feet. I never found out what happened to that person. I'm somewhat obsessed with it. I always wonder if I should try and find out what happened, but I'm always thrown off by the possibility that they didn't make it. I guess I like trusting to hope. Written January 9, 2005.
- Me and My Brother
- This is very Springsteen-esque. I don't know what got me to start writing it, but I wrote it. Written February 6, 2005.
