Their chant is muffled by their scuffling footsteps As they advance upon you. An Army. You can't hear it, but you know what it is they're saying. You know what they're chanting, And you couldn't agree more. "Coward" "Coward" "Coward"

This Note is Just to Say I have used the silver razor that was in the bathroom cabinet which you were probably saving to shave your legs for Friday night. Forgive me, It was clean cut So red And so final

To A You were a light in my life. I want you to know that. I also want you to know that you are beautiful, inside and out. You are talented and special, and I have always envied you. Please never hate yourself because of the decisions you make, or the way that you are. You made times in my life a beautiful thing, and were a most valued friend.

Oh, how I would love To be able to simply fill out a form, And Return To Sender I’d like some repairs made. “Requested changes to be made To item XX84725; Give her a backbone to start, Size 6 feet, a better smile.

Just because you're clever Doesn't mean I'm stupid. Just because you're happy Doesn't mean I'm sad. Just because you're healthy Doesn't mean I'm sick. Just because you're walking forwards, Doesn't mean I'm walking backwards.
