Have you ever been tricked by somebody important to you? It leaves a lasting impression, doesn’t it! I’ve been there a few times, having opened my heart to new possibilities, despite the risks… It doesn’t feel too fantastic once I realized I wasn’t in consideration at all. No, but it does create interesting new synapses. Those are the reactions we wish we had never developed!

But, well, I am alive. That’s more than I could wish for, and I’m glad to have more experiences on the way. Here’s a song I call

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Animal Trap

My aches and strains
Confound myself
I’d fool around today
I can’t remember where I fell

I’m laying here
I can’t move on

My injuries
Are nothing much
But I can’t stop from
Looking manky on a crutch

I’m helpless but
It’s all my fault

So tell me
Am I angry
I just don’t know how to feel

Can you tell me
Am I alone

So help me
I can’t leave
This wolf pit alive

My tricks today
Were second-rate
I lost to the beast inside
My empathy
Questionable

My family
My everything
Push all my heart aside
Am I just my
Animal

So tell me
Am I sorry
I just don’t know how to feel

Will you save me
Or leave me alone

I’m hearing voices singing
Ringing from the outside
Clearing out their courtesy
And calling your name

I’m screaming mercy
Holding on for anything
Anyone
To hold me ‘fore goodbye

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well Done!

Wild world we live in, isn’t it? Fronts for first impressions and backs for stabbing. Those of you who have the strength to show your full self despite our expectations for constant deception… those of you have the strength I wish I always had. No, everybody has their secrets. I don’t even want to know anybody’s secrets. Is that strange? There’s a reason they’re secret.
