[hometext] => just wrote this on the spur of the moment.
sorry if its awwwwwwwful. Im on alot of pain med now. broke my leg today at work. woopie. At least I can work on my novel. Peace- [bodytext] => numbness was my childhood best friend they played on the monkey bars loudly the under dog I vowed Id always would defend I spent my 6th grade nights reading silently they skated and kissed at the new roller rink while my blood should have boiled violently I was a heavy, teased, medicated little child I just wanted to help the kids in my class even when they where nothing but vile I figured yes, maybe it was now time for a new me so I started climbing up on my favorite old tree I kept a journal, and tried to grow but it seemed that what ever anyone else reaped, for them I had to sow. i worked hard on myself for 7 years broken bones and grit and sweat and tears and all the while not with a smile i ran down the feild with instructions to defile this opposite team under rain and snow and bright sun beams I was the strongest on the feild and given the job to make sure their striker would yeild I was taught new moves to take her out now matter what they told me in those minutes that was not what this was about I walked with a numbness i had never carried all those years only anger now was surfacing along with jets of tears I had never intended it to be this way I was going to be an artist I didnt want to even play I quit that day, my life was my own now, and concentrated on art, - get used to it some how Its funny how we turn from a protector to the hunter in one fell swoop all to make sure we are not vunerabule anymore or left out of the loop.
