Out the door
Just in time
Head down the 405
Gotta meet the new boss by 8 am
The phone rings in the car
The wife is workin hard
She runnin late tonight again

Well I know what I’ve been told
U gotta work to feed the soul
But I can’t do this all on my own
No I knowI’m no superman
I’m no superman

And you've got your love online
U think you're doin fine
But you’re just plugged into the wall
And that deck of tarot cards
Won’t get u very far
There ain't no hand to break your fall

Well I know what I've been told
U gotta know just when to fold,
But I can’t do this all on my own
No I know
I’m no supermanI
’m no superman

You’ve crossed the finish line
Won the race but lost your mind
Was it worth it after all?
I need u here with me
Cause love is all we need,
Just take a hold of the hand that breaks the fall

Well I know what I’ve been told
Gotta break free to break the mold
But I can’t do this all on my own
No I can’t do this all on my own
No I know
That I'm no Superman
I’m no superman
I’m no superman
(Some day well be together)
I’m no superman(Some day)
(Someday well be together)
(Someday)
I’m no superman

-"Superman" (Laslo Banes)

Right now, I can safely say that I really envy the people who are fortunate to have someone special to lean on. When I started this semester, I knew that it was going to be tough and being on my own, would make things a little harder. I did my best and tried to suck it up; waking up each day and not letting myself sink into any semblance of pathetic weakness. It worked most days. Right now, what I really need is for someone to just give me a really big hug and just let me pretend everything is ok. But wishes are just that - they don't happen just because you want them to.

So, I guess, no matter how hard it is, I'm going to have to fight for that second wind and pick myself up; a little more battered, a little more scarred but the important thing is that I keep moving on.

For the people who are lucky enough to have someone special: you really need to treasure that person. You have no idea how precious they are till you're standing out there in the cold alone, reaching out for a hand to hold, and knowing that no one is around.
