Current Mood: "Not Dead Yet" (original song)
I was going to come here and share a song and then I couldn't decide on any that I even liked today enough to share. And then I remembered when I wrote this song, I was in the same mood. I was just in THIS mood. I feel defeated and, yet, at the same time, I am hopeful that I will beat all of this stuff away someday.
There are times when you are almost dead and you're still hanging on. Beaten into the ground and yet you're still looking up. Even from the deepest hole, it's still a hole, which means it has an opening at the top. You can see the stars. You can get out somehow.
Probably. Right?
Maybe. Depends on the help you get and how smart you are. If you're dumb and alone, you're probably doomed. I don't know. Allow me a few seconds to shrug and walk away as I leave you this song and its lyrics.
Not Dead Yet
Bad news, it falls like rain
I close my eyes just to breathe
I can't seem to shake this cold
It hurts to see.
And strange, it's such a comfort now,
swimming through all this blue.
I can see the Harvest Moon
shining down on you.
We're hanging by a single thread
feel the sky pressing down
but babe, it has not crushed us yet
We're still h o l d i n g o n
Baby, we're a l i v e
{a l i v e}
And We won't ever f a l l so far
that we can't see the s t a r s...
We breathe the same air angels breathe
and
I'm
Standing Up.
Baby, we're a l i v e. {alive}
Your hand touches my hand now...
(and that's enough.)
picture and song ©2019 s. matthews @paintingangels. Thanks for listening. Thanks for looking down this far. Thanks for finding me somehow. I am not so easy to see. You must be incredibly good at finding things that are difficult to see. High five. Love always, Serena. Goodbye.
It reminds me of Nirvana unplugged! Like that lake of fire! Your voice is very soothing!
It’s just after 4am.. can’t sleep, bad dreams and thunderstorms are keeping me awake... but a nice comment from you. Helps me not feel so frustrated. Thanks for listening
A: to the song

B: to me now being weird about Life
You’re very welcome! Thanks!

Always a soothing comfort to me to listen to your voice, even if it's the saddest moody one. But we are still holding on.!

Also, that is a lie. You could never understand me.
