If I had a penny for each time
someone lied to me, I'd be loaded
swimming in the riches of the deceit
of those who made me believe
Belief, what a funny thing it is
for you can put all your heart
your entire being into this one word
and become despaired when it's gone
Despair, depression, they are about the same
leaving you helpless, in tears
more then anything it leaves you
in a state of total vulnerability
Vulnerability, is humanities nakedness
for without belief, you are in despair
open to all the pain and suffering that
one simple word can make you strong
strong enough to block out the shadows
Strength, is what you have,
crazy Aunt Paloszoo, who cares...
FUCK'EM, I believe in you,
your work, your heart, and your tenderness
You have given me great care
hope, and many prayers
over several days now...my prayers
are now with the ones who don't
think they need you in their lives
They are the ones losing it,
Not you, never the strong!
