I'll roll with that ext. @Dr Dog

I may still drop tonight but if I don't...

I might as well take the wild card

The escape.....
Eyes full of wonder, excitement flowing through the veins
containment, an arrangement taking place for further claim
'Fame', glorification for this investment that we have made
little did we know times have changed, this isn't our day...
the flags hang low, and our friends eventually become enemy
every pat on the back becomes suspicious, becomes deadly
they spit at me, curse & say anything that might offend me
I took that as a sign that a majority of them weren't ready..
The divide.....
'Stay Positive!' Debbie exclaimed in her squeaky tone...
'It's only been a few hours.. a few more streets then home...'
"Ok!" Timothy was the overexcited brother you couldn't leave alone.
a perfect duo raised by divorced parents & weekly hosts
the night was full of local mischief, hi jinx, & misleading clothes
role reversals & sheepish ghosts of yesteryear's cheese & toast
'Some of these girls are gross, don't ya think?' "I don't know?"
'...nevermind' two different sides of the coin as the dice would roll
the contributing factors to it all as life unfolds...
The crossroads....
The big day is almost here, my anxiety is through the roof
I'm hopeful that they will understand how I chose to use the truth
raise the awareness of our local friends & help boost recruits...
my reward has been earned this year; this will be used as proof!
'Quite a selection of outfits' "I really like mine, it feels right..."
'This is the strangest time of year to be dressed in clothes real tight...'
"I'm unsure if that statement has to do with my revealing size"
voices echo, the problem is worst than you may have realized
my mind has become a meeting place & fear has been mealtime
I'm a puppet in real life, trying to pull it together to no avail..
the rabbit has swam home with the tears down that hopeless well
a balance will be met when medication returns in postage mail...
until that moment the voices tell me of riches to be found...
beyond the furthest coast of hell..
The lesson....
I've learned not to trust my innermost thoughts anymore..
those voices that echo in every room telling me of a world I need to explore
take chances on ideas and fail beyond belief, it isn't worth the score..
it's not worth the acceptance or the ability to feel a sense of award...
when society twists your words & tries to embarrass you, the source
of judgement on those in development & those who aren't relevant
a world in a bubble a mind that is still unsure of it's own settlement..
a sprouting mind that remains veiled because society doesn't embellish it
the mask remains on, our executioner grows before us, so unsettling...
so disturbing, why us...my parents never understand when I'm pretending...
but somehow it feels like a very great joke to a very unhappy ending..
