Turn the lights down for a while — Happy Rhodes

"When the rain came down, I was older than the earth. I could die right now, and plan another birth Anytime I choose. I am in peace, in love, in harmony, when the rain comes"

"The first time my brothers saw me, when I was a day or two old and still in the hospital, my brother Mark could not pronounce the name "Kimberley," and I was an especially happy baby, so he decided it would be easier to call me "Happy." From that moment on, my family members never used the name Kimberley. I was forced, however, to use my given name while attending school. As soon as I turned sixteen, my name was legally changed to Happy Tyler Rhodes. As far as Im concerned, its the ony name Ive ever had. When people ask me if its my real name, I always say "yes."

"Ill be over your head Ecto Now dont be afraid Ecto Dont reach out Ecto Just be glad that I exist Ecto"

"I dreamed I was an animal In a human world; Now when I hear big sounds I cry like a little girl. Im talking about connections Between here and there; All things exist at once Seems more than we can bear."

"Everybody sees me as a solitary entity but I long to be important to somebody Its a love of fairy tales that drives this guilty wish To walk serenely in front of family to collect my kiss and though this notion is as flawed as any I have learned Id like to think that like the others, its something I deserve"

"He is broken, far from free Words were spoken, tween him and me: "I had friends, yes, I was admired Im so old now, feel so tired." Well he walks to the gate and he looks behind at life in rewind And wishes he had known these things while still alive."
