    Leather-Bound

    my life i had labelled a long time ago "CONFIDENTIAL"
    everything bad i did, felt or thought of, i never wanted to relay
    i would store them all clandestine fashion in books
    my experience forever pregnant and fast becoming ancient
    has weakened me considerably
    i no longer have the pallet for the drink Eudaimonia
    no longer too do i don the itchy garb of innocence
    i style myself in leathery anger and tuff stompin boots
    my screw u stilletos i leave 4 nocturnal prowls of course
    occasionally i am missioned to guiltville
    armored 2 the hilt i cud survive there 4 a while
    but of course like the heat of the sun
    that place melts all defense including heart and soul
    i get around well enuff
    annoy some i do, feared i am not
    tho sometimes i think its a better status to have
    hate is a brand i dont buy
    yet strangely enough many seem to bestow it gift wrapped
    i try not 2 condemn them to the place we all love 2 refer 2
    i am no God or saint
    all i have dealt the hurt hand can contest to this
    forgiveness no matter how costly i save for like a long for diamond
    i bet no one wud guess that i save 4 it only 2 give it away.....
