The liquor and thighs
The bittersweet taste of liquor
It is seen as it is
It is clear as the light
Too drunken by the liquor
only sight are the thighs that are thicker
Missing your way in between
Now a father of many nations
Whipped by sanity
He sees what a calamity
The cries and whales
Nowhere to escape
Atoning for his mistake
Only him has to face
Emotions
Confusions
Now seeking for solutions
How can HE provide for all?
Now he is lost in the sea of thoughts
Searching for a way out
But only tracing it back to where it all began
The liquor and thighs

Trauma Carnival
I have unpopular opinions on one of my old favorites, The L Word. First is: Jenny is my favorite character. Second: The show was originally about Jenny, her trauma, her broken identity and the way her sexuality was explored as an awakening that brought up many memories of childhood abuse.

When We Were Very Young
In another box set that my parents got me when I was younger contained four books by A.A. Milne. 'When We Were Very Young' is a collection of poems that Milne wrote for his son Christopher Robin. This is a book that is full of references to Mr. Edward Bear, but a lot of the poems give some various descriptions of life of a very young child and where, when, how and why they do what they do. The illustrations are quite cute for you can see what Christopher Robin is and may be thinking. Also, Pooh Bear does make his self-known at various points. I have read these verses many, many times over the years and each time make me feel good about myself.
