Finally, I'm going to write this song
Something I've been needing to say for a long time
Remember me, remember this, don't respond, just listen
Mom, dad, I love you guys...
I forgive you for all of your crap
Thank you Jesus, I pray you bless them...
...with wisdom, self-realization, self-control, and peace

The way it was before...
A little tiff
Donation rage, shut the hell up!!!
Craig, George, baseball bat Melissa
See me as who I am
Let me be me,
Sorry if I scream, but you be you
And this is key, let me be me

I'm way here away from you, and
The world looks so different being out from under your shadow
Throw out excuses, they did no good
We don't have to have anymore broken glass
The Lord says, "No one else has to be bruised."
Isn't it great?  I didn't forget you daddy by blood, father
You don't have to worry and I don't have to be ticked off!

I can admit it, I wssn't an angel
Truthfully some things I did still haunt me
I'm not an accuser and I do respect and honor you
I'm telling the truth and I'm not ashamed
What's a lie, whats a lie, why should I even try
Don't say I can't when I can and know that I'm smart
Don't deny that I'm a man and then call me, "queer."

balloons are made of rubber...
... and they float too...
as will I to Heaven once I die...

Oh wow, and I'm so glad you had to write this song! This was exquisite! (And that's no secret... And if I predicted your death it would only give you cause to rejoice... And as for the slit your throat thing...no way...So I'll just be honest... Awesome, Craig! lol ) Love, Purity

I love the feeling of confrontation in this,
It makes it seem so much more striking.

''Don't say I can't when I can and know that I'm smart
Don't deny that I'm a man and then call me, "queer." ''
And that last piece is great. It makes it seem like you've risen above the things that bring you down...

a brilliant write.

Slit my throat thing?  What are you talking about Purity?  I didn't write anything about slitting my throat...

niere, hey thank you.  I have light at last... ... lol.

God bless,
In Christ,

Craig, when someone replies to your poetry, it states "green_itchy_stuff encourages Constructive Critiques: 'Tell me a secret, predict my death, then slit my throat... Or... just be honest".
I thought that was cool and humorous, and so I was replying in jest to that as your friend, and of course I stated that I could never slit your throat inspite of that line.

It was funny, but the poem was great.

YOUR FRIEND,

Purity
