I guess, I don't have to lie. I guess, I shouldn't be afraid and not get the best of myself. I guess, I should try to stop being my own threat. I guess, I shouldn't be myself up and not let things pile up around me. Smoking cig after cig in a tiny apartment won't fit even my smallest dream. I am brave. Things I cannot control, eat me alive. I make choices that I have to face and so does he, she, her and him. I raise, I stand, I fall.
