Man of Steel

I can be anything
That you want me to be
A punching bag, a piece of string, oh
That reminds you not to think
They found the note down in your car
And it's not your fault it gets this hard
Gets this hard
Hold your head high
Don't look down
I'm by your side
Won't back down
You wanted a hero tonight
Well I'm not made of steel
I'm not made of steel
But your secret's safe with me
I can be anything
That you want me to be
A holy cross, some sympathy
That reminds you not to bleed
They found the note down in your car
You climbed up here to fall apart, fall apart
Hold your head high
Don't look down
I'm by your side
Won't back down
You wanted a hero tonight
Well I'm not made of steel
I'm not made of steel
But your secret's safe with me
Oh, your secret's safe with me
They knock you down
I'll pick you up
They laugh at you
I'll shut them up
But I'm not made of steel
But I'm not made of steel
But I'm not made of steel
But your secret's safe with me
Yeah, your secret's safe with me
Yeah
Hold your head high
Don't look down
I'm by your side
Won't back down
You wanted a hero tonight

"Call Me!"

PET PEEVE OF ALL TIME

I'm not sure how to write this in an unoffensive manor to the people who do these things, so forget it ...

I can't handle the people who instant message me to tell me to call them... If they want to talk to me, they can call me, right? On occassion it makes sense - today I got a message online from a friend "I was wondering what you were doing tonight, I am free, if you want to get together, give me a call". See, that is fine - it is a specific question about a specific instance and since I had my away message, and she was possibly just checking email and signing off, it makes sense.

Later tonight I was chatting online with a friend who I im'ed simply to say hi - I do that every now and then. After saying I had to go and would talk to him later, he responded with "call me this weekend". This is a kid who always tells me to call him ... but doesn't call me. If he wants me to call him so badly, how come he never picks up the phone and calls first? People!

Another instance of irritance are those who insist on using the phrase "We have to do lunch sometime", or "Let's get together soon", and then never take the initiative. I always respond with "okay, just call me" (a fine response since the opposite party is the one proposing the meeting, therefore they can do the hunting) - but no one ever calls. If you aren't ever going to call, don't suggest it in the first place.

So there's that ...

he

He says I'm only angry - but does he see it's the pain inside screaming to be let free?
He says he can't help me - he's not what I need.
He says I push him further - he pulls.
He says I'm just like him - so why can't he understand?

He says the pain will subside

the tears will go away

only if I let go of what's trapped inside

the fears will wash away
