Description
All the little cupsLined up in a row
And one of them is mine,
One of them is mine.
Mine seems the same
Also part of the game
But mine is out of line,
Mine is out of line.
Most of the cups are solid
Keeping the liquid inside
But there are little holes in mine,
Little holes I find.
I try and try and try
To patch my cup
To fill it up
But in the end it still dies,
In the end it still dies.

I like this, especially the meter. As for life and depression... I can only tell you what I believe in.... depression is just another part of life, as is happiness and fear and death -(ironically) too much of anything is not right, but most things do pass. I don't think we'll ever be fullfilled (because we are humans, thus imperfect) but... I also think that is perfectly fine. Sometimes life hurts. I guess you could say we're always being tested- God wants to see how we deal with it.

I find feeling fulfilled a rather fearsome idea... I'd have nothing to work for (or away from) if I was complete.
From my current perspective, I wouldn't say the feeling comes from love, but instead from those moments where you forget about everything else in the world... while you're laughing at something dumb a friend of yours did even though there's still hunger and poverty in the world.
Perhaps we carry the happiness with us, we just forget sometimes because we're distracted by other things, but it's there... and it usually comes out when you least expect it.
Kind of like when you're looking for your sunglasses while you're wearing them.

Is it still going on, Jess? You mentioned it a long while ago... Maybe there is something that would patch it up, you know? You don't have to do it if you don't want, but it's still an option.

by "it" do you mean depression?
i'm not really sure. i've had fulfillment issues for a long time, i always feel like something's missing. and i don't know what. i'm trying to fill myself up, though. i think it might just take a while. maybe teenagers aren't supposed to feel fulfilled. like maybe it only comes when you "find the one" and you've gotten an education and you have a good job that you enjoy and stuff like that.
i'm not going to stop trying.

See, when I was little I thought that you only have to wait until you're in high school to be happy. Then I thought you had to be 16 to be happy. Then I thought you had to have a boyfriend to be happy. Then I thought you just had to be liberated to be happy.
Now I think that you have to be in college to be happy.
But I don't think you ever are. Maybe it's all about those little moments. Like laughing at an inside joke, doing somehting with friends, reading Perks of Bein a Wallflower, and that you can be sad or w/e in between. I wish I could live on a constant high, but then I would stop appreciating it. I dunno.

i think you make a very good point, and I might copy that last part of your comment and put it in my diary.

And I find,

This rather depressing.
Interesting meter though.
