Perhaps I am a fool,
A fool who has chosen a simple life,
One that is, for me, Good.

I walk to my own beat,
At times, a symphony;
Music that rises and falls with every revelation of the day,
I step outside to a world of colour
of sight and sound.
without my backtrack, I could never appreciate
The wonder and simplicity
That is life.

Why dont we just pretend it never meant what it did before?", I almost cracked up, dude is right; we give weight to these words. By being overly sensitive about ...
