“A cigarette and some front porch tears”

What makes a memory so beautiful- is that you cant shake it The painful ones that leave lament- that force you to question death The joyful ones filled with noise- confusing bliss They can be beaches sand between your toes- the grit almost too real But mountains can also rise up, treacherous climbs- pitfalls and dark caverns Control comes from embracing- your geography- no, your journey Happiness comes from knowledge- Learned through introspect and personal enlightenment
