" Leave your belongings at the gate!"
spoke the voice of certain fate
and not knowing quite the cost
I found my INNOCENCE I had lost

" Here's some DOUBT and WORRY too!"
the spoke in smoke and cursing blue
and settled in the rowing boat
I found that I had lost my HOPE

" Here's your ANGRY face of RAGE!"
a frowning call from center stage
and donning now the fearsome mask
I 'd lost my KINDNESS to the task

" Leave your belongings at the gate!"
I called to one though the hour late
" For I am POWER high above!"
and then I knew, I'd lost my LOVE

"NO!" I heard "COME TO ME!"
said the child I could see
I did, she broke the CHAINS from me,
she spoke the TRUTH and it set me free.


~Which way did They go? How many of Them were there? I MUST find Them!! I AM THEIR LEADER!!~

wow nicely done here. I truly enjoyed this one a lot Son!!!!



I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
