I will say no more often
I will not offer to help or solve problems
I will give you a hint if you seem lost
I will promote self reliance
I will listen to more music
demand more silence and solitude
take care of my self first
and drink pots of tea.
I put the ear in tear so you can hear my pain
synonymous with years of nonstop rain
what appeared as sincere slandered my name
synonymous with phlebotomy, it was all in vain
an unknown flood that drowned my confidence
synonymous with being anonymous
masked, disguised, escaping the consequence
synonymous with a fugitive fleeing the continent
guilty as charged, behind bars, waitin´
synonymous with self condemnation
eyes in the law library, with the law in observation
a verdict synonymous with self vindication
