Fasting from facebook and so much more!

I have to admit that I have checked my facebook 3 times since my fast started. So I guess in a way I have failed my fast, but at the same time each time I only stayed on for about 1 minute, so in a way I am still fasting. Yeah, but not really. So I am starting over as of right now no facebook till Easter. For real this time....ahhhh human wants and desires they drive me crazy! Each time though I have felt guilty and realized that I need to be sincere in what I am saying and doing. This fasting from facebook when the country I am living in is in them middle of huge political demonstrations...well it makes things a little tough. I am safe, and did get the day off of school. It was nice and for once I think I am prepared for this coming week. That is simply amazing! Even still as I was out and about today, I was trying to really look at the people. Look in their eyes. I am not sure that I can explain it but I am going to try....


If you only knew...

If you only knew what I see when I look at you,
tears fill my eyes as I look into yours and see the emptiness

I see the despair and the searching
the unknown in your rituals and smiles.

When I look at you, I want to just touch you
to give you a piece of my heart, to say you really do have a part

There is pain in your eyes today,
you try to hide it but you just can't make that mask last

It is coming down, the tears are dissolving it and making it mush,
that mask, it was your stronghold, what you leaned against.

Don't let it mold together again, to hide what you really feel,
the emotions that have been locked up for so long.

You have been searching and waiting,
now here it is, what you have been looking for.

Are you going to hide,
are you going to let everything continue to be locked up inside?

It means nothing, what you have spent so long giving in to,
it brings nothing, can't you see?

This road that you are on, it is going to lead you to the place you don't belong,
it is dark and scary, there is not light.

If only you could see what I see,
then your joy might be complete.

I see the reason you were born, I see the truth in this storm
You were made for something more.

My eyes they see you, my heart wants you to know.
The emptiness can be filled, just grasp what you know the truth, the light
and you will fill that emptiness in your eyes.
