I Wish I Could Write Like This...

...but since I can't, I thought I would share this with you.

Learning to love life by living through loss and mistakes
Lessons learned then gradually surfacing
Letting go, stripping naked to scream
I am not perfect, nor do I strive to be
I am alive in this world of face-first falls and public breakdowns
I'm a retarded, disfigured clown
Dying to be heard for the simple art of letting this heavy wall finally fall
I'm an equal being of no race or color
A hallucination if you will
Sneaking into the lives of strangers and letting them fall apart
To a new rhythm, just to feel better


"Retarded, Disfigured Clown" is spoken by Blue October on the album, "Consent to Treatment".

These are the guys that did that song "Hate Me Today" that's making the rounds. About as honest as it gets.
