*Alanis Morissette*

~Thank You~

How about getting off of these antibiotics 
How about stopping eating when I'm filled up 
How about them transparent dangling carrots 
How about that ever elusive kudo 

Thank you India 
Thank you terror 
Thank you disillusionment 
Thank you frailty 
Thank you consequence 
Thank you thank you silence 

How about me not blaming you for everything 
How about me enjoying the moment for once 
How about how good it feels to finally forgive you 
How about grieving it all one at a time 

Thank you India 
Thank you terror 
Thank you disillusionment 
Thank you frailty 
Thank you consequence 
Thank you thank you silence 

The moment I let go of it was 
The moment I got more than I could handle 
The moment I jumped off of it was 
The moment I touched down 

How about no longer being masochistic 
How about remembering your divinity 
How about unabashedly bawling your eyes out 
How about not equating death with stopping 

Thank you India 
Thank you providence 
Thank you disillusionment 
Thank you nothingness 
Thank you clarity 
Thank you thank you silence 
 

 
 
 

~You Learn~ 

I recommend getting your heart trampled on to anyone 
I recommend walking around naked in your living room 
Swallow it down (what a jagged little pill) 
It feels so good (swimming in your stomach) 
Wait until the dust settles 

You live you learn 
You love you learn 
You cry you learn 
You lose you learn 
You bleed you learn 
You scream you learn 

I recommend biting off more than you can chew to anyone 
I certainly do 
I recommend sticking your foot in your mouth at any time 
Feel free 
Throw it down (the caution blocks you from the wind) 
Hold it up (to the rays) 
You wait and see when the smoke clears 


Wear it out (the way a three-year-old would do) 
Melt it down (you're gonna have to eventually anyway) 
The fire trucks are coming up around the bend 


You grieve you learn 
You choke you learn 
You laugh you learn 
You choose you learn 
You pray you learn 
You ask you learn 
You live you learn
