You used a lot of words
To say nothing at all
Asking for some clarity
You raised a higher wall
Fake it until you make it
The megalomaniacal king
The rebels at the ramparts
Protest the hate you bring
The castle you’re living in
Contains a bloodied throne
Surrounded by your leeches
And afraid to be alone
There’s no way to be equal
In the games that you play
If you can’t explain yourself
Then there’s nothing left to say
Most people seek to avoid tedium, pain and any form of adversity. You must choose to move in the opposite direction.

Gratitude Journal
I am so happy and grateful to see Amy’s grandmum on her 90th birthday yesterday. She’s going good.
My pen broke yesterday, leaving me penless. I brought one from home today but it doesn’t flow as well. I love a good pen.
After school yesterday, I took Amy to the skin doctor, who gave her a bunch of pills and creams that have previously worked for her, so hopefully will clear her up by Saturday when she leaves.
While I was waiting, I gave Hayden a call and he told me he got his first tattoo, which came as a bit of surprise, though perhaps more surprising that it took him so long. Anyway, it looks cool. Three 5’s on his wrist, which has a special meaning for him and made more so when I told him its meaning of laughing in Thailand. I’d forgotten that it was Australia Day today and he was out with his friends, so we didn’t talk for long.
Got home dog-tired and didn’t make it into my room and tonight we have to attack the termite problem again with more things to try and kill them off.
