Analysis of What do you do when......?



What do you do
When you have no inspiration?
What do you do
When you have no muse?
What do you do
When everyone thinks you're a freak?
What do you do
When you are yourself
But a complete social outcast?
What do you do
When the one you love doesn't know how much you care?
What do you do
When you can't do anything right?
What do you do
When you're all alone in a war-
1 against millions?
What do you do when
You're me?

I'm 13. I love Journey to the Past, Hey There Delilah, and Once Upon a December. I love the movies Scott Pilgrim VS The World and Anastasia."Life is one grand, sweet song, so start the music." ~Ronald Reagan"Life's greatest tragedy is not that it will someday end, but that most only live to follow directions and sometimes we end up totally lost." ~ Alex Gaskarth"Our character is what we do when we think no one is looking." ~ H. Jackson Brown, Jr."Our street corners keep secrets, and our road signs only suggest, never deciding for us, never knowing if the destination to which they lead is where we truly belong." ~ Alex GaskarthAwesome youtube video(s) of the week: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCmRIFVH4O4&feature=player_embedded http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FV-HPOHu8mY more…
