Tell them your story.

They will hear your words and cries.

Bless them with presence.

//

It all means nothing,

and yet you do it any-

way. I watch you rot.

//

You must learn how to

play with the cards you are dealt.

Life is strategy.

//

You left me for dead.

It must kill you to see me

so alive. So strong.

//

Why not say yes to

everything you want to do?

You must go get it.

//

What is it like to

be this pathetic? You must

always think of me.

//

Bury your dreams or

make them a blockbuster. If

you don’t DO you DIE.

//

I do this for my

soul. I do it for my sa-

nity. Creation.
