Here's a picture from last Noche Buena at the 'rents. I walk out of my current reality thinking there were happier times before. But seeing this picture, browsing through dad's online album reminds me where I've been. Maybe there weren't happier times before, but I know I deserve happy times now.



Because I Can -- Katy Rose

I keep on looking through the looking glass
And I want to fall on through
Out of the real world to a happy day
Out of the wreckage that I do

I keep on dreamin because I can even though my eyes don't close
I keep on trippin because its free to a place I only know
I keep on dreamin because I can even though my eyes don't close
I keep on slippin out of this life

Still my hand won't go to the other side
My boney fingers stay locked here
The glass is cold when I touch my face
But I can taste my salty tears

I keep on dreamin because I can even though my eyes don't close
I keep on trippin because its free to a place I only know
I keep on dreamin because I can even though my eyes don't close
I keep on slippin out of this life waiting for the drapes to close

Mirror mirror won't you kiss my cheek
And tell me I'll be oK
And warm my spirit with your sugar lips
And help me wait for another day
