Week two: day 1

Welcome to week two!
      For this week I chose my challenge in response to my burn out.  I am tired, sick and my brain isn't working.  As much as I want to do an intense challenge, I can't handle it this week.  Though not intense, I still feel this challenge will help me learn more about myself. 
  So what is the challenge?

Everyday this week I will post a song and poem that embodies how I feel that day.  This will help me because I tend to have a hard time being able to organize my emotions. My hope is that forcing myself to put my emotions in concrete terms for a week will help my thoughts become less scattered over all.  And maybe in the process I will learn new songs and read some inspiring poems.  :) 

Day one: my song for today is "welcome to the black parade" by My Chemical Romance.  I chose this one because it is beautifully sad and meaningful. 
This part especially links with how I feel today:

We'll carry on, we'll carry on
And though you're dead and gone, believe me
Your memory will carry on, we'll carry on
And in my heart, I can't contain it
The anthem won't explain it

And while that sends you reeling
From decimated dreams
Your misery and hate will kill us all
So paint it black and take it back
Let's shout out loud and clear
Do you fight it to the end?


poem of the day:

If you want to solve  
All the confusion-problems
Of your mind,
Then resolve to live
Inside the illumination
Of your heart
