long and painful fight

The turtle said, " i have eaten your tears, and this is why i know your misery.
But i must warn you.
If you cry, your life will always be sad."

THen the turtle opened his beak and out poured five, six, seven pearly eggs.
The eggs broke open and from them emerged seven birds,
who immediately began to chatter and sing.

I knew from their snow-white bellies and pretty voices
that they were magpies, birds of joy.
These birds bent their beaks to the pond and began to drink greedily.
And when i reached out my hand to capture one,
they all rose up, beat their black wings on my face
and flew into the air, laughing.

"Now you see," said the turtle, drifting back into the pond,
"Why it is useless to cry.
Your tears do not wash away your sorrows.
They feed someone else's joy.
And that is why you must learn to swallow your own tears."

my dreams have soundtracks playing in the background
i distinctly singing somebody like you in my dreams
and then climbing down some tree /:
i'm queer

SLUT IN THE TRUCK!
i like the other tucker (:

i saw the first shooting star of my life that night
when i least expected it!
and cos it was so unexpected,
i wasn't quick enough at making a wish ):
so no wish upon a shooting star for me.
plus i caught some rainbow coloured clouds
they looked like a mysterious part of carebear land
cotton candy clouds! (:
