Papa Roach


These are the words to a song, it is so codependent!  Now that my mind is getting a hair better (microscopic steps forward) I am noticing codependent lyrics more & more.  Music is really healing - I used to play music all the time.  I am so far from the way I used to be, I don't resemble myself at all right now. 


I am having to think really hard aout what I even enjoy doing anymore.  My life has been like I am struggling in quick sand -- I haven't done anything for myself in years.  The A called me unmotivated -- geez! I don't even talk to ppl now, let alone try to make friends, I haven't been on a date in years, forget even thinking about having sex!  I feel like I am standing in the ashes of who I once was. 


The A emailed to me (I wrote to him, to get some things off my chest & he responded) -- that over the years he thought I was "uninspired & unappreciative".  (way to take my inventory)-  I told my mom about it - I sd, "he should have appreciated me!" then he would have seen that I really was appreciative.  Hell, I put the man on a pedestal, was I supposed to worship his feet?


Oh well, I guess microscopic steps forward are better than none at all.


 


SCARS:


chorus:
I tear my heart open, I sow myself shut
My weakness is that I care too much
My scars remind me that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel

Drunk and I'm feeling down
And I just wanna be alone
I'm pissed cause you came around
Why don't you just go home
Cause you channel all your pain
And I can't help to fix myself
Your making me insane
All I can say is

chorus

I tried to help you once
A kiss will only vise
I saw you going down
But you never realized
That your drowning in the water
So I offered you my hand
Compassions in my nature
Tonight is our last dance

chorus

I'm drunk and I'm feeling down
And I just wanna be alone
You shouldn't ever came around
Why don't you just go home?
Cause your drowning in the water
And I tried to grab your hand
And I left my heart open
But you didn't understand
But you didn't understand
You fix yourself

I can't help you fix yourself
But at least I can say I tried
I'm sorry but I gotta move on with my own life
I can't help you fix yourself
But at least I can say I tried
I'm sorry but I gotta move on with my own life

chorus x2

Nice Song, huh!  well, I am not sorry that I am moving on with my own life!!! I am grateful - I am still a lil mad at myself too for being sucked into the goo for so long, but I can clean myself off & forgive myself for it, and for wasting my own time!  There is no one to blame but me -- oh yeah, I don't have to blame at all.

Nope, you don't have to blame yourself, but forgive yourself for being so hard on you :)

Hello kitty,


What great insight into yourself. You are sure doing the work on getting yourself better and on healing yourself. I want to blame myself for my daughter's alcoholism and have to keep stopping myself. I did the best I could at the time with what I had. I really did. Blame does nothing but keep us stuck. Give yourself credit for those microscopic steps. Moving forward is a great thing and a true gift to ourselves. Maybe in time you will start connecting with other songs that offer hope. I look forward to you posts. your friend in recovery, cdb
