some deserve tall tales.. some wrote 'em..

hardening of a heart.. gold melts.. the day the time comes my heart is set to judgement against a feather i'll bear not the weight of burdens. i'm guilty of no crime. only sins i've committed are to myself. every day is a struggle when you are your own worst enemy but i'm not scared; trouble is no stranger of mine. i'll bind my story in leather and seal it with string.

i learned that we are made of stars. i learned that we should shake one another with excitement about this news. the nonbeliever believes in something. a wiser man than myself once mentioned that he knows not enough to be an atheist. i'm no atheist. i'm only child more confused than you are. i'm content with my upbringing of card-castles and legos. i still talk to shadows in mirrors.

i do want to shake the world by the shoulders. one day i'll slap the crown off of father-mankind-human. one day i'll prove that our species is worth saving. sometimes i think there is so much beauty in the world that it burns like heartburn. slow down, my brothers.. drink life slowly and cheers your overflowing cup carefully. tonight we sit at the same feast. one of you among us will betray me. ah... the scars of learning are beginning to reveal themselves...
