PLAYING GAMES
mad hippie poet 1974 (new jersey)
I am no longer playing your games but opening and shutting doors. Your hate has no place here, and it never did before. Say about me what you will. I don't live to please assholes like you, so what will you do.
You say it is nothing personal, just business, and I tell you that I am no longer playing politics or your game because they are both the same. Say what you will, but I will be the one whose name you remember during the snow in December.
I am not playing games. I came too far to turn around. I was always told to pick my battles to win the war, and now that I am growing older, I know what those words mean. In the end the truth will not only be heard but also seen
