Glass Breaking Silence
"My Violent Heart"
You and I, we may look the same
But we are very far apart
There's bullet-holes where my compassion used to be
And there is violence in my heart
Into fire you can send us
From the fire we return
You can label us a consequence
Of how much you have to learn
You can try but you'll never understand
This is something you will never understand
Can you hear it now?
Hear it coming now?
Can you hear it now?
On hands and knees
We crawl
You cannot stop us all
you wear our bones
our skin
We will not let you in
You have set something in motion
Much greater than you've ever known
Standing there in all your grand naivety
About to reap what you have sown
Time will feed upon your weaknesses
And soon you'll lose the will to care
When you return to the place that you call home
We will be there, we will be there
On hands and knees
We crawl
You cannot stop us all
Our blood will stay
We will not go away
On hands and knees
We crawl
You can not stop us all
Our blood, our grace
Will never leave this place
-Nine Inch Nails-
This song caught my attention today. The lyrics ran over and over again in my head:
The other night, I was out walking my dog, when someone threw a glass bottle, straight at us, out of their car window. I didn't even see the car or who threw it. I just remember feeling the shards of glass hit my leg the second it exploded on the concrete (For those of you who don't know, the sound of breaking glass gets to me in the worst way). It startled the hell out of me. I even cried for a minute.
Now, one thing I do not understand, in the first place, is why people do the things they do to people they don't even know... especially when they get paid no mind. I find it funny, that the only way these assholes get any reaction out of me, is by messing with my instincts. All I wanted to do is walk. I was almost one with the quiet night. I'm sure a lot of cars passed by that night, but didn't pay attention to a single one of them. For some reason, the person in THIS car couldn't stand it. They couldn't just let me be. What was it that they saw or thought that made them throw a GLASS bottle of all things?
What they didn't think about, was exactly who they were messing with.(laughs). They have no idea which fire they're fueling. I don't know who they are, and I don't need to. People like that only make me more proud to be the kind of person that I am. I don't care what they do to me. One thing they can NEVER break is my spirit or my fire. It's like a fire in a coal mine. It supplies it's own fuel, and NEVER goes out! {People like you just fuel my fire. People like you just do.
Yeah, I think this is the end of my rant. Go ahead, break my day.
