[hometext] => A poem about stress and adversity in life.
[bodytext] => Why did you do this? Why did you do this to me? Why did you do this to me? I’ve caved, I’ve bent, I’ve broke my soul. This heavy **** weighs on my head and leaves me staring at my feet. The danbed don’t deserve this, so why must you damn me and **** on my head? My spirit is broke. My will is broke. My patience is useless. My feet and my car can’t get me far enough away, And I hate you in my dreams. The path I stride was set in place long before these briars grew waist-deep and poison, turning my heart and vision black, but there’re no choices in this matter, So I walk on and crumble. The breeze of the day blows dust from the clay of my skin, and slowly I am fading into a coward. While even two specks of dust remain though, I will continue to see and seek out my goal of annihilating and resurrecting you. You, dear craftsman, are the one who holds my earthen skull to your ever-turning grindstone. Believe it or not. Realize it or not. Acknowledge it or not. I hate you. I hate who you are. I hate what you have done. I hate your selection process. I hate the thoughts you keep secret from the world. I hate the way you mirror me. I hate the way you reflect everything I hate about myself. I hate that you choke me with my own guilt. I hate that you cripple my friends and make them vegetables. I’ve healed. Therefore, I know you must be able to. In seeing my own weakness, I offer you a compromise. You go away. Let me think of myself as a good person. In exchange, I will love you. I will check you in, and make you better. I will be for you the brother you need me to be if your stupid eyes never meet my blackened heart ever again.
