MIRRORINGS: The late great Lucy Grealy on her...
lostangelesca:
There was a long period of time, almost a year, during which I never looked in a mirror. It wasn’t easy, for I’d never suspected just how omnipresent are our own images. I began by merely avoiding mirrors, but by the end of the year I found myself with an acute knowledge of the reflected image, its numerous tricks and wiles, how it can spring up at any moment: a glass tabletop,...

Phoenix '11
They say an end can be a start Feels like I’ve been buried yet I’m still alive It’s like a bad day that never ends I feel the chaos around me A thing I don’t try to deny I’d better learn to accept that There are things in my life that I can’t control They say love ain’t nothing but a sore I don’t even know what love is Too many tears have had to fall...

The Hardest Part
And the hardest part Was letting go, not taking part Was the hardest part And the strangest thing Was waiting for that bell to ring It was the strangest start I could feel it go down Bittersweet, I could taste in my mouth Silver lining the cloud Oh and I I wish that I could work it out And the hardest part Was letting go, not taking part You really broke my heart And I tried to sing But I...

I’ll eventually be fully awake, in full panic mode, with zero productivity. I knew there was a reason for my dislike of coffee ;)
