She is running
A hundred miles an hour in the wrong direction
She is trying
but the cannon's ever widening
in the depths of her cold heart
so she sits out on another missed adventure just to find
shes another two years older and three more steps behind
Does anybody hear her?
can anybody see?
or does anybody even know she's going down today
under the shadow of the stepal
with all the lost and lonely people
searching for the hope that's tucked away with you and me
does anybody hear her?
can anybody see?
She is yearning for shelter and affection
That she never found at home
She is searching for a hero
a hero to ride in and save the day
and in walks her prince charming
and he knows just what to say
in a momentary lapse of reason
she gives herself away
Does anybody hear her?
Can anybody see?
or does anybody know that she is going down today?
Under the shadow of our steeple
With all the lost and lonely people
searching for the hope that's tucked away in you and me
does anybody hear her? can anybody see?
If judgement looms under ever steeple
if lofty glances from lofty people
can't see past her scarlet letter and we
never even met her
if judegement looms under every steeple
if lofty glances from lofty people
cant see past her scarlet letter and we
never even met her
does anybody hear her? does anybody see?
oh does anybody even know shes going down today?
under the shadow of our steeple
with all the lost and lonely people
searching for the hope that's tucked away in you and me
does anybody hear her?
does anybody see?
does anybody even know she's going down today?
under the shadow of our steeple
with all the lost and lonely people
searching for the hope that's tucked away in you and me.
does anybody hear her? does anybody see?

In my Major (Human Service Counseling) and the classes that I have taken so far in this major there is one thing that I have found the most common: losing hope, feeling alone, being judgemental is common for people to feel. I have felt this way, I know other's who have felt this way, and I know that other's will feel this way; thus, seeking for help is a must. And that is why I will be there to help with (in about a gazillion years when I am done with school).
I italicized and bolded some words because they stood out to me;and I want to expound upon them a little bit more. Oh- and by the way- part of the title of my blog is "Ramblings of a counseling student" so really, this post isn't too far out of sync with this blog. The following is coming from personal experiences and things that I know and have learned so far.
She is running a hundred miles and hour in the wrong direction: When you are depressed, feel like you dont belong, dont know who you are you run in any dircetion. you just go through the motions of living everyday- you do not know where you are going, who you are.
She is trying: sometimes, no matter how hard you try, things just don't go your way. And things just dont get better, a lot of the time it is out of your control if you are trying everything that you can possibly do.
Does anybody hear her? so many times people feel unheard, like they are just being looked over and that nobody is even hearing them, or even wants to hear them.
With all the lost and lonely people: so many people feel lost and lonely; like they have no where to turn, or anyone to turn to. So, they turn to self-destructive things, they turn to pornography and other horrible things.
she is searching for a hero: girls, or anybody really will search for anything, anyone to fill the void that they never found.
in walks her prince charming: especially with girls, when someone walks in that "saves you", when you are vulenrable and not in the right spot in your life then anybody will seem like your prince charming.
if lofty glances from lofty people: people who dont know the situation that you may be in, or perhaps that you have just come out of can be hurtful and harmful. Watch what you say, watch what you do, and watch who you do it to.
and we never even met her: one of the worst things that we, as people, as human beings can do to victims and people who have been hurt, or need help is to judge them. No matter what they have done, (okay- maybe not no matter what- I suppose you can judge murderers, rapist, etc.) you should never judge people. With my volunteer work at the domestic abuse/sexual assult place, I have learned the most common question asked of women who stay with thier abusers is Why? Why would you stay with someone who beats you? Why would you stay with someone who belittles you? Why would you stay with someone who, essentially could hate you? That is for another post, and I can only put my opinino and what I have learned so far as I am NOT a professional....yet. Give me a few more years (or a gazillion as I said before)
The song above is called "Does anybody hear her?" by Casting Crowns. I was listening to it and these thoughts popped into my head, and, as I said before, I am a counseling student, SOOOO, I figured I can post about it. after all, it is my blog. So, I guess if you take anything from this post (if you made it through the whole thing that is) it would be: dont be judgemental. You dont know everybody's situation.
