I dont mean to be
but im disgusted
You missed the point
Yet again by a margin

It wasnt the tone
Or the Stance
Or the beat
It's the words

You read between
You choose the lines
You believe yourself
When you're not it

It's the words
They are meaning
They are intent
They are everything

All those thoughts
All your opinions
just that
Merely thoughts, opinions

Hear what i say
Hear my voice
Just my words
And then my silence

I aint as good as I once was but I'm as good, once, as I ever was. - Toby Keith

Hi Walter,

You know, I like archery. Even though I'm right predominant, I yank 'er back from the left.

I used to have a spotter hold the target for me, but he kept moving nervously about, thus preventing me from hitting the eye. Finally, having all I could stand, I shot him in the leg.

You'd be surprised to know how many eyes I get now.

Your poetry made it all come back to me.  

Touch, but don't look
