Smile, Ignorance is Bliss

Smile-Tony Bennett


Smile though your heart is aching 
Smile even though it's breaking 
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by 
If you smile through your fear and sorrow 
Smile and maybe tomorrow 
You'll see the sun come shining through for you 

Light up your face with gladness 
Hide every trace of sadness 
Although a tear may be ever so near 
That's the time you must keep on trying 
Smile, what's the use of crying? 
You'll find that life is still worthwhile 
If you just smile 

That's the time you must keep on trying 
Smile, what's the use of crying? 
You'll find that life is still worthwhile 
If you just smile


I think I may just do a cover of this song. To be honest, I'm really feeling this song right now. I haven't slept. I'm afraid of where my dreams will take me. I'd rather have a nightmare than have blissful, wonderful, reminiscent dreams about how happy I was. But that was it, I was caught up in the euphoria of it... the idea of it... the feelings of it. It was nice to feel wanted. It was nice to be cared for.
For a split second, part of me thought how can life be so cruel. Life gave me a happiness that made feel as if I was safe again. Made me feel like I was actually strong, that I could voice my feelings unashamed. But I guess that's why they say Ignorance is Bliss.  I let my guard down and let myself go with the flow... and I got sucker punched. 
So is it my type of love that I should change? I love unconditionally. I love with out questions, when I love, I give it my all. I honestly love with my entire being. I guess  it's my own fault for getting hurt. I can't help but care. I can't help but care for the meek, the needy, the sad, the hurt, the innocent. I can't help but fight for what is just, what is moral, what I value. But why is it, I find it difficult to just be loved. I believe it's impossible for someone like me. 
I will not continue this spat of a rant. I'm fooling myself again.... let's cut it short shall we... The_Ugly_Duckling is single..... again....

SINGLE? And here I am half a country away from ya and way too old anyway. Damn. ;-)

Don't settle for anyone that isn't good enough babe. You're entirely too awesome to do that.
