Inspired by this video:

Don't Follow

I want to let you in close to me

This was written after/during a bout of severe depression and bitterness. You were warned.

Benediction

Stories like mine do not get told
Boys like me do not grow old
Pain like mine is never seen
In novel, song or silver screen
Amen
Say it again
Amen

Chains like mine must go unbroken
Words like mine must go unspoken
No heart like mine should e'er be filled
