Look Out!
Don't Do More Than Others Do...
I got to do what's best for me.
The best for the one and only.
If everybody had their way,
They'd tell me to worry about nobody.
Nobody, but the one and only me.
It's about time
I took that advice.
I've had my fair share
Of learnin' lessons - twice.
At time,
I have to say,
"Me, I'm gonna look out for you."
"I promise for now on to look out for you."
Put that on my life.
That, there, is true.
It was a lesson learned
And long overdue.
Be the only one
Required to prove anything
To you...

Like A Sweepstakes
For the last three years, I've been rebuilding my life. I've had to start over in ways I didn't have the confidence to think I can do it alone. My heart was crushed and my definition of love distorted, I didn't think that my 'tower moment' in life would help me build a [new] beginning.

Spectating
I can't imagine dying like this, in a place like this; on a cold, dirty pavement with rush hour traffic screaming by and a crowd looking on while paramedics struggle to find space to move. Who could? Deep down we all think there should be a reason, a moment of clarity... or a family presence, at least. For this man, this boy, the rail thin woman lighting a cigarette in a faux fur jacket will have to do - she's been here since the start, her eyes tracking the movement of my shoulders as we fight to keep him on the right side of the line.
