Just remember that sometimes, the way you think about a person isn’t the way they actually are.

New Life (To Be Read Aloud)
This magic, cold night
is covered in stars
And chock-full of men
all covered in scars
As women walk ‘round
each one bearing scarves
That will keep them warm
or not.
-BAM-
My heartbeat is thumping
to beats left by cars
That move along quickly
to buildings and bars
That move along quickly
regarding their scarred
Men who don’t know
what they want.
-BAM-
So wait, girl, have patience
and grasp your guitar
With confidence, poise,
and mind left ajar
Because you, my friend,
You know who you are;
The rest of the world
Does not.
-BAM-
You have time, my sweet,
you have time to spar
With men who will never
go nearly as far
As you will if you
just follow your star
To lands where you are
to be.
-BAM-
You’re lucky, though, see,
you’ve made it thus far
And you still have time
to show who you are
To those men who
have been left with scars
‘Cuz to them, you are
what they need.
-BAM-
So wait, girl, have patience
and grasp your guitar
With confidence, poise,
and mind left ajar
Because you, my friend,
you know who you are;
The rest of the world
does not.
Wait, girl, have patience
and grasp your guitar
With confidence, poise,
and mind left ajar
Because you, my friend,
you know who you are;
The rest of the world
does not.
