(1296)▪︎[ Go Inside … 11•6•2019 ]

[ When I Pick-Up My Toys & Go Inside ]
[ My Head ]
[ I’m Not Going In There To Hide ]
[ Because I’ve Felt That My Heart Is Dead ]

[ I’ve Gone Inside To Protect Myself From Future Hurt ]
[ That’s Why There’s Nothing Living ]
[ Under My Shirt ]

[ Oh Sure My Body Is Alive ]
[ But My Trust In Others Has Taken A Dive ]

[ It’s Not That I Trust Nobody ]
[ It’s That I Find It Hard To Trust Anybody ]

[ This Apprehension & Distrust Has Been Earned ]
[ From The Many Times That I’ve Been Burned ]

[ Does Everyone Trust Anyone In Their Life? ]
[ Should I Only Trust My Faithful Wife? ]

[ Are There Any Friends Inside This Small Circle Of Mine ]
[ There’s A Few ]
[ Alot Less Than Nine ]
[ But A Couple More Than Two ]

[ One Friend From High School Is My Best ]
[ One Is The Guy Who Trained Me @ Hillcrest ]

[ That Man’s Name Is Nick ]
[ He’s Stood By Me ]
[ Even Through The Tough Years When I Was Sick ]
[ He Never Could Be ]
[ Like ]
[ One Of Those Dicks ]

[ Who Turned Their Backs When I Needed Friends The Most ]
[ One Minute They Were There ]
[ & The Next Minute The Friendship Is As Good As Burnt Toast ]
[ It Seems Like It Wasn’t A Far Reach ]
[ For Them To Turn Into A Ghost ]

[ I Guess They Found My Problems Too Tough To Swallow ]
[ It Proves What I Thought ]
[ Their Miniscule Past Efforts Were Hollow ]

[ They Should Remember The Moral Of The Golden Rule ]
[ (DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WANT THEM TO DO UNTO YOU) ]

[ To Them, It Was A Friendship That Wasn’t Hard ]
[ To Turn Their Backs & Discard ]

[ It Was Easy ]
[ For Them To Act Slimy & Sleazy ]

[ Were They Upfront & Brash ]
[ When They Threw My Name Into The Trash ]

[ I Know That Is Not Why They Did What They Did ]
[ When There Was A Little Controversy ]
[ That’s When They Ran & Hid ]

[ But Nick Has Always Been Honest, Loyal & Upfront ]
[ He Never Sugarcoated Things ]
[ & Bordered On Blunt ]

[ That Is What I Like & Need ]
[ I Like To Grow Honesty After Planting The Seeds ]
[ Nobody Tries To Grow Thorns & Weeds ]

[ I Also Start Questioning My Judgement In The Character
Of Others That Want To Get Close ]
[ As For Backstabbing People ]
[ The Staff @ Hillcrest Gave Me A Huge Dose ]

(1433)▪︎[ It’s Not As It Seems … 12•26•2019 ]

[ He Says He’s Smiling Inside ]
[ But Don’t Let That Fool You ]
[ His Insides Had Died ]
[ In Year Number Two ]

[ How Could He Just Sit & Smile When He’s In So Much Pain? ]
[ There He Is, Going Through The Motions Everyday ]
[ With Nothing To Gain ]

[ Smiling Again & Again ]
[ Is That Committing A Sin? ]
[ Who Loses? ]
[ Who Wins? ]

[ As Good As It Is To Lie ]
[ It Must Have Been Done ]
[ By The Other Guy ]

[ But Why Do They Make A Joke ]
[ About Going Up To That Old Man ]
[ & Giving Him A Poke? ]

[ Poking Another ]
[ Should Not Be A Laughing Matter ]
[ To Someone Else’s Brother ]
[ Your Comments Does Not Bring Any Laughter ]

[ It Is A Bit Unrealistic ]
[ To Say People Are Helping ]
[ When They Are So Antagonistic ]

[ But Where In Life Is The Finish Line? ]
[ Is It Anywhere Close ]
[ To When You Go Dakine? ]

[ So Many People Leave Life As An Unfinished Project ]
[ When They Started Out As Such A Good Prospect ]

[ Some May Have A Mid-Life Crisis & Never Bounce Back ]
[ Is That Because They Are In Hiding ]
[ From A Blind Sided Attack? ]

[ When You Finally Have The Answers In Life ]
[ Someone Changes The Questions ]
[ Given To Them By Their Wife ]

[ The Moral Of This Story ]
[ If You Go Through Life Looking For Glory ]

[ Glory Is What You Make ]
[ When You’re In A Giving Mood ]
[ Instead Of Being In The Mood To Take ]
[ Or Being Rude ]
[ & Nobody Needs A Fake ]
[ Attitude ]
