Be a Duck

she's guarded yet insecure. introverted and self-absorbed. she keeps to herself and doesn't let anyone in. her walls are built up high and nobody dares to try break through the protective exterior and into her heart. the truth is she'd like nothing more than for someone to dare to go where nobody has been before. she dreams of the day someone gets through to her, someone to steal her heart and take her where she's never been before. in love.

they attack her from all sides, they strike her weakest parts, but as they wait for her to fall, they see this is only the start. she won`t go down without a fight, they won`t have an easy win. she`ll give it all till she has nothing left and as she falls they`ll see her grin.

Don't change so much that your best friend can't talk to you, your friends don't know who you've become, and you look back into the mirror and wonder who is looking back.

This is why you should never, ever get your hopes up. This is why you should see the glass as half empty, so when the whole thing spills, you aren't as devastated.

I don't feel like anything's happening. It kind of feels like my life is going nowhere; really, really fast.

You could see such distance in her eyes. She's in a daze, her mind's somewhere else. She's a mystery, she's creating a different kind of vibe. Little do you know, she's holding so much inside.

You can really tell a lot about a person from their taste in music. What pushes them through the hard times, what makes them jump and dance and what makes tears come to their eyes. You just have to hear what they do.

I'm careless and I'm cruel, but I'm still so easily bruised. I'm so tired of lying about it. I'm not bulletproof.

I was desparate to just start fresh, just be a face in the crowd, where no one knew me. Sometimes we just need that.

all i'd ever wanted was to forget. but even when i thought i had, pieces had kept emerging, like bits of wood floating up to the surface that only hint at the shipwreck below.-sarah dessen: just listen

she hides herself with music. she never shows her feelings; always keeping things bottled up inside. i'd hate to see the day she exposes it all. when she tells you how you've made her feel, you'll never be able to look at her the same way ever again, never.

She's always lived for tomorrow; She's never learned to live for today. She's dying to try somethins, do something crazy or just get away. Something for herself for a change.
