My Life as an Afterschool Special

Remember After school specials? Sure they were cheesy, poorly written, and were poorly acted, but that’s what made them so great. I remember running home from school to turn on the TV and see what major drama was going to unfold next. After School Specials were known for an amazing ability to grind realistic topics into sitcom-level mulch. That pretty much describes my life as an afterschool special.

Tornado

I have been talking Matt lately a lot more then makes me comfortable. I much perfer to be "fine". But he is a tornado in my life...


Sara Groves... Tornado

You live your life like a tornado.
Destruction follows everywhere you go.
And you have no plans to stop or slow (oh).
I will not let this bitter root grow in me.
I will not let you leave that legacy,
But it gets so hard when pain is all I see (oh).

And every time I find healing, you're making a new mess,
And I am learning the real meaning of forgiveness.

And I tried to remove myself from your path,
But I keep on waking up in the aftermath.
So I pick up again and say I won't look back (oh).
And I will not let this bitter root grow in me.
I will not let you leave that legacy,
But this constant fight is breaking me (oh).

And every time I find healing, you're making a new mess,
And I am learning the real meaning of forgiveness.

And it hurts when you hit at the hearts of the ones I love;
When everything you touch is rubble and dust.
And it gets so hard to know how to trust,
But I will not let that bitter root grow.
I will not let it, no no.
But it gets so hard (oh).

And every time I find healing you're making a new mess,
And I am learning the real meaning of forgiveness.
And I could move and never send you a forwarding address,
Or I could learn the real meaning of forgiveness.

Say "no" to the tornado!! It doesn't mean you're "fine" it means you are choosing your path. Sigh...I need the same advice.
Love ya,
Linda
