[ Way In The Back Of Your Mind ]
[ You Look For The Answer To The Question That Continues
To Stump All Of Mankind ]
[ Why Are We Here On This Earth? ]
[ Have We All Had A Purpose Here, Ever Since Birth? ]
[ Are We Really Supposed To Get Along With Others? ]
[ Are We Supposed To Grow-Up To Battle With Our Brothers ]
[ Love Thy Neighbor, But To Hell With The Family ]
[ How Can This Be? ]
[ Blood Does Not Always Turn Out To Be The Ones That Are
Around You When Your Life Comes To An End ]
[ Family Usually Tends To Be Made Up Of A Couple Of Good
Friends ]
[ You Grow Up Being Told That You Can’t Ever Pick Your
Family, But Then You Find Out Otherwise ]
[ As You Find Out ]
[ When You Were Young, You Are Told A Handful Of Lies ]
[ Blood Family Members Do Not Always Stick Around ]
[ It Is Usually A Good Friend That Helps You Up Off Of The
Ground ]
[ Family Members All Have Free Will ]
[ If They Ever Want To Stick Around When You Get Ill ]
[ Every Single Person Has Their Own Agenda To Work
Towards ]
[ People Usually Don’t Put Their Hand Out Unless There
Are Personal Rewards ]
[ During The Holidays Do You Think That Most Family Members
Want To Be There? ]
[ Most Do Not Care ]
[ It Is Far More Rewarding To Have People That Want To Come
Over & Spend Time With You ]
[ For An Hour Or Two ]
[ When Nobody Was Forced ]
[ Where Nobody Was Coerced ]
[ Family Get Togethers Are Mind Numbing ]
[ How Many Really Enjoy Coming? ]
[ It So Much More Rewarding To Become Part Of A Family Than
To Be Expected To Be Part Of One ]
[ The Way You Grew Up ]
[ (30) Years Ago, You Were Done ]

(514)▪︎[ You Need To Choose … 6•24•2021 ]
[ Sometimes In Life You Get What You Want But Not What
You Need ]
[ Why Do You Always Follow? ]
[ When You Really Want To Lead? ]
[ You Have More Talent In Your Little Finger ]
[ Than Most People Have In Their Whole Existence ]
[ You Don’t Want To Step Out ]
[ So, You Just Stand Back & Linger ]
[ Just Wanting To Blend Into The Crowd ]
[ Letting Your Thoughts Drift Into The Clouds ]
[ Thoughts That Could Be The Keys To The Universe ]
[ But You Never Want To Transverse ]
[ On Over ]
[ Just To Converse ]
[ Even For Awhile ]
[ Because That Was Never Your Style ]
[ When Are You Going To Find Your Niche? ]
[ That Should Be Your Number (1) Wish ]
[ But You Would Rather Walk A Mile ]
[ Than To Come Forward & Show Your Guile ]
[ To Be Able To Get Out Of The Muddle You Were In ]
[ Then You Would Have To Show The Puddle That You
Fell In & When ]
[ Others Would Tell You To Sit Down & Think ]
[ & Slow Down The Drink ]
[ A Shot Here & A Straight Shot Of Tequila There ]
[ Sometimes You Get So Drunk ]
[ You Give Off The Feeling That You Don’t Really Care ]
[ That Is Not A Good Look On You ]
[ & It Looks Like You Have A Mirror With Some Residue ]
[ Of Some Sort Of Powdery Substance That Looks White ]
[ Making People Wonder If You Are Doing Things That Aren’t
Right? ]
[ You Do Know That Snorting Meth ]
[ Only Leads To Death ]
[ If You Don’t, You Should ]
[ If You Did, You Would ]
[ If You Are, You Could ]
[ Know About That ]
[ Care About That ]

[ 781 ][ Just 1 Choice … 9•14•2020 ]
[ I Have Gaping Holes In My Heart ]
[ & I Don’t Know How To Close Them ]
[ Before I Completely Fall Apart ]
[ When I Thought That I Really Knew Some People I
Found That I Really Did Not ]
[ I Close My Eyes & Think About What I’ve Got ]
[ I Think About Good Friends ]
[ But I Don’t Have Alot ]
[ 1 Or Two, But Definitely ]
[ Not More Than Three ]
[ I Count 2 Who Actually Checks In With Me ]
[ I Reach Out, But Nobody Is Home ]
[ I Wonder How They Are Doing ]
[ But Nobody Lets Me Know ]
[ If My Accounts Go Quiet, Would Anybody Notice That
I Wasn’t There? ]
[ If I No Longer Shared ]
[ Would Anybody Care? ]
[ I’m Not Throwing Myself A Pity Party Of One ]
[ I Don’t Like Doing That ]
[ Because Those Parties Are Never Fun ]
[ I Am So So Glad That I Don’t Have Any Access To My Meds ]
[ I Would Really Worry About What Is Going On In My Head ]
[ My Little Internal Voice ]
[ Would Only Talk About One Choice ]
