A small little package, handled with care. Held up triumphantly, won by a dare. He made the winning touchdown, scored the last basket, kicked the last goal, and told everyone else “You’re gonna get your a-- kicked.” He’s wearing a new pair of Nike’s, his beloved Polo shirt, his Hilfiger jacket, nothing scuffed with the slightest trace of dirt. He’s got the typical bimbo cheerleader on his arm, his teachers wrapped around his finger. he goes to the hippest parties, but doesn’t stay around long enough to let his reputation linger. He thinks he’s “all that,” but he doesn’t know what “that” is. And as for that little package (no, not THAT little package), he doesn’t know it’s there. He’s too entranced by life’s little pleasures, and those stupid obligations, like keeping the lawn mowed. So when he does have some time, he still doesn’t realize that his ego box has overflowed. <center><img src="http://netpoets.net/img/ic34.gif"></center> |

Beautiful -- Crystal "The worst of what people do to one another is deceive. Because when you love someone you control their version of reality. If you lie to them that's like making them autistic so that what they believe is reality is in fact, not their true situation at all." It's not the angry words that break the heart, it's the silence. Someone said that true love is like a ghost -- often spoke of but never seen. I've seen both and yet in my darkest hours, tend to believe that neither exits. |
