John Wesley
I cannot think that when God sent us into the world, he had irreversibly decreed that we should be perpetually miserable in it. If our taking up the Cross imply our bidding adieu to all joy and satisfaction, how is it reconcilable with what Solomon expressly affirms of religion, that 'her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace?
Mihael Radjail
- It'll be hard
But in the end, you're the one who's walking. You're the one who knows the road you've taken. The feeling of betrayal and hopelessness. You already know what it is like to hit rock bottom. So, what's there to be afraid of?
Mitski
- A burning hill
Today I will wear my white button-down. I'm tired of wanting more. I think I'm finally worn. For you have a way of promising things, and I've been a forest fire. I am a forest fire and I am the fire and I am the forest and I am a witness watching it. I stand in a valley watching it and you are not there at all.

- Sorry Jack
She's stupid pretty, he's pretty stupid. Lonely loser, chewing a toothpick. Lost in the dark trying to turn on the lights. He just wants the one; she wants something to bite tonight.
Sufjan Stevens
- Fourth of July
Do you get enough love, my little dove, why do you cry? And I'm sorry I left, but it was for the best, though it never felt right. My little Versailles. The hospital asked should the body be cast before I say goodbye, my star in the sky. Such a funny thought to wrap you up in cloth, do you find it alright, my dragonfly?
Lynyrd Skynyrd
- Simple man
Oh, take your time; don't live too fast. Troubles will come and they will pass. Go find a woman and you'll find love, and don't forget, son, there is someone up above. Be a simple kind of man. Be something you love and understand. Oh, won't you do this for me, son, if you can.
Phoenix
- Drakkar Noir
Burn the avenues, until the city unfolds. Won't we have to know, do we have to know what truth is? Why I wish I knew, why I wish I knew you from before.
Sufjan Stevens
- Fourth of July
Was it all a disguise, like Junior High? Where everything was fiction, future, and prediction. Now, where am I? My fading supply. Did you get enough love, my little dove? Why do you cry? And I'm sorry I left, but it was for the best, though it never felt right.

- A good bye to my best friend pt. 2
Tears are now running down my face and my heart aches with all your memories filling my mind. I see you, my best friend with red hair and with a beautiful smile. My heart betrayed me, this was not supposed to happen, I fell for you.
Diana L.
- A good bye to my best friend
I lay down under the stars, wondering if you still think of me. I miss you, and I wish we would've say our good byes before parting ways. You were my best friend, I have so many memories of the wonderful adventures we had, the late nights dancing and singing, the hikes in the rain forest, the pictures under the waterfalls.
Necrophagist
- To Breathe in a Casket
Eyes opened up within the moist and dark. Trapped inside the measures of a coffin. Horrified awakening, blank fears embrace me. Oh... beyond... beyond these walls there lies infinity. Asphyxiation is imminent due to the measures of this confinement. Blind hits against the coffin walls; blank fears control me. Oh... beyond... beyond these walls there lies infinity.
Anonymous
- Waiting room
When he thought I wasn't watching, his face fell from its usual sarcastic smile he reserved only for me and showed, only for a moment, what he hid behind it. A boy resigned to servitude, to never being valued unless he proved, through impossible endurance and perfection, that he was valuable.

- the first paragraph of wimpy kid
First of all, let me get something straight: This is a JOURNAL, not a diary. I know what it says on the cover, but when Mum went out to buy this thing I SPECIFICALLY told her to get one that didn't say 'diary' on it.
Osamu Dazai
- Schoolgirl
Sometimes happiness arrives one night too late. The thought occurred to me as I lay there. You wait and wait for happiness, and when finally you can't bear it any longer, you rush out of the house, only to hear later that a marvelous happiness arrived the following day at the home you had abandoned, and now it was too late. Sometimes happiness arrives one night too late.

Karen Marie Morning
- Ice to my fever
I didn't ask. Some things are better left unsaid. He looked at me and I shivered. I never get enough of him. Never will. He lives. I breathe. I want. Him. Always. Fire to my ice. Ice to my fever. Later we would go to bed, and when he rose over me, dark and vast and eternal, I'd know joy.

- Beyond all rules
He pulls me around and kisses me. 'You're Mac,' he says. 'And I'm Jericho. And nothing else matters. Never will. You exist in a place that is beyond all rules for me. Do you understand that?' I do Jericho Barrons just told me he loves me.
