This morning Alanis Morissette's "That I Would Be Good" came on iTunes, one I haven't heard in a long time. I can't remember when I heard the song for the first time - maybe seven years ago? - Corbin introduced it to me. I could relate to what Alanis was singing from the very first line and the lyrics have been something I store in the back of my mind and reflect on every now and then. I'm thinking an art piece might come out of this someday... 

that I would be good even if I did nothing

that I would be good even if I got the thumbs down

that I would be good if I got and stayed sick

that I would be good even if I gained ten pounds

that I would be fine even if I went bankrupt

that I would be good if I lost my hair and my youth

that I would be great if I was no longer queen

that I would be grand if I was not all knowing

that I would be loved even when I numb myself

that I would be good even when I am overwhelmed

that I would be loved even when I was fuming

that I would be good even if I was clingy

that I would be good even if I lost sanity

that I would be good

whether with or without you
