Day 5 - Happy Birthday Vac!
Was up late again - thinking, thinking. Cleaning out my body seems to be spurring a mind dump as well. I wrote letters (in my head) to everyone from my "other" life. Said all the things I wanted to say and forgave. I fell asleep at about 4:30.
I let myself sleep in as I had had two late nights. Got up about 11. Had tea and a rice c...1 Recommendation3 Comments -

One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small,
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all.
Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall.
And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall,
Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call.

When she was just small.
When the men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go

The Last Time.
If I knew it would be the last time
that I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly
and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.
If I knew it would be the last time
that I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss
and call you back for one more.
If I knew it would be the last time

"The Last Resort"
She came from Providence,
the one in Rhode Island
Where the old world shadows hang
heavy in the air
She packed her hopes and dreams
like a refugee
Just as her father came across the sea
She heard about a place people were smilin'
They spoke about the red man's way,
and how they loved the land
And they came from everywhere
to the Great Divide

mirrors crack
think there talking behind your back
all eyes are on you
mimicing what they show you
your lives disguised by magazines
gotta get thinner to stay in the scene
when alls dead and gone
you'll be living on empty dreams
too vain to see you've lost
your lost in a sea of broken teeth

is all important to get a head

I'm Amazing
This world doesn’t think much of me
I don’t wear designer clothes
And no I don’t drive them flashy cars
Nor do I have a lot of money
So this old world looks down on me.
But God says……
I’m amazing.
I’m incredible and wonderful.
