Fix Me


I've been listening to this Coldplay song for a millionth time, the track on my iPod is beginning to sound like a scratched-up vinyl record. But there is something about these words:

When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace...


They struck so deep a chord in my psyche, in my soul, that says I'm forever broken. Will I ever be fixed?

This song took on all new meaning when Jacob died. Those lyrics in particular strike me too.

You will go on, with a fine crack in your soul that will never heal. But you will still hold yourself together. Sending you hugs.

Perfect lyrics. I lose a lot of sleep wondering the same question. Thinking of you as you approach Kai's first birthday. May the day be peaceful and kind to you~
