Walk, talk, smile, laugh,engage in all the joys of life

A walk well planned, talk void of emotion, smile well practiced, a laugh utterly strained out

Meet me. The me you see every day. You meet and greet, empower, mistreat

Forced to hide and retreat, loud yet discreet,  meet me. A well formed smoke screen to shield me from the pain. Not that I'm hurting...i just never want to go back again.



Work, play, learn, grow into a mighty woman of valor.

Work hard, play not to die inside, learn the worlds ways and grow into bitterness

Meet her. You're in school with her. In church, at work, the ultimate Joan of ark,

cries in the dark coz fate made its mark,  listen...hark. Meet her. To her, waste called by any other name is still waste. A mistake called human is still a mistake. Not that shes hurting...she just never wants to go back again.



Big, strong, tough, focused on the legacy he must leave.

Big boy, strong by default, tough on the exterior yet focused with no vision.

Meet him. A little boy ignored for too long, wannabe king kong, isolation is his song, A magnet for the wrong, personality faker than Hong Kong, meet him. Like a forgotten comic book hero that wears a mask anyway. Trying to be the father his wasn't to him. Not that he is hurting...he just never wants to go back again.



Wisky, lager, spirits, beers and a little extra more,

Wisky in the morn, lager for noon, spirits for the early eve and beers for the night.

Papa do you see? Aren't you proud? We didn't become like you, we are better. More lethal than any of the blows mama endured, more than any spirits you drowned in.  we saw it all. Bottles always bottoms up because you broke and, just didn't know how to get back again.
