I’m back in my dark, safe place. Familiar after so many years. When I next leave it, I will be clothed in my armour of a fool. The best defense is to make it appear you have no offense. Be the fool - you are not a threat. Be the fool - who can take you seriously. Be the fool - people don’t notice if you’re around. Be the fool - make them laugh; you’ll not belong anyway. At the end of the day I go to my safe place and remove my armour. I am alone, it’s safe. I pour a drink and read, escape with my mind. I am alone, it’s safe. I watch TV, I’m board but, I am alone, it’s safe. I go outside amongst the trees, I stare longingly at the stars above, I am alone, it’s safe, I cry; I am all alone.

Sorry to be away so long, but a terrible four letter word, work gets in my way once in a while and one must pay their bills. Now if we all could survive on our art, such a dream ;-)
