Untitled
Friends and family, don't have a clue
Unless they are let in on purpose.
Nothing is more important than secrecy
Colander like souls
That need filling on a daily basis
It isn't an easy thing to juggle
Only showing what needs to be seen
Never slipping up, never dropping the mask.
At some point, you develop a system.
Learn to appear perfect. But there is no such thing as perfect.
Always show up early.
Learn everyone's schedules.
Create a network of routes.
Overtime is key.
Have an emergency stash on hand.
Only return half of what you empty.
Leave the new stuff hidden, until all are asleep.
Ingest a lot of protein and fluids before bed.
Can't be like that forever.
