Book Of Flaws

Give me your coppers
And I will show you
My book of flaws.

It takes brave men to open it
But dust will never cover it
I myself contribute daily

Gather excuses or humility
And heave the cover open
In the index find your name

See your sins in cursive
Badness exquisitely bordered
Don't your shames look pretty?

Give me your coppers
And I will show you
My enormous book of flaws.

But give me dollars
And I will show you
A book so large
It is lit by stars...

Get the eBook. Read:
The Book of Beauty.
You have a chapter
All to yourself.

Now And Then...

Occasionally, my mouth, she runs off and ends up in the gutter, with egg on her face. At her age, she really should know better. But, I guess that's life. We live And we learn, We twist And we turn.

Twins

So I'm a maniac. Doesn't matter because. So are you. I run through the nights a full speed. I run through my life at full speed. Oozing cravings. Drinking wants and needs. You are the same as me.

I'd Like To Think.

I'd like to think I'm nice,. People have said so once or twice,. I'd like to think I'm fair,. What I have to offer I'm happy to share,. I'd like to think I'm honest and true,.

Today I Realized

I don't have many friends. The few I have, couldn't care less about me. I am not pretty. I am not as smart as everyone thought. I am lazy. I am quiet. I am boring.
