I poured
myself
another shot
of redemption

and thought
This time
I'll get
it right

though in truth
I actually
heard
the echo
of my lies

Well, I'd copy my favorite parts, but the whole thing is great.

REally enjoyed this, I'm saving it.

"I actually

Now there's a powerful statement ... Gulp!

always seeking joy, adventure and romance and wishing you find the same

Not fooling me -- I see that you have very clear eyes, and that the real redemption was in pouring two fingers of insightful writing for the rest of us to drink....

Kaora,
Thank you, I think "saving it" is the highest praise one can get on PIP

Michelle,
I know I drive you insane with the self abusive writes

Thank you Janette,
The worst lies we tell, are to ourselves

Sue,
Thank you want to join me for a double shot of self pity?

Ed,
Thanks for sharing the drink.

Crystal,
Thank you for the compliment and for reading.

Karilea,
Thank you for the kind words and the read.

Raph,
I do appreciate every reply I get, and truly, I have some great people that never miss a write(even my terrible ones)I think my blunt, self abusing style are a turn off for some.
You have supported me since the beginning, and that was some high praise.Thank you.

I love this place, thanks guys.

Jason
