Don't uncork what you can't contain

My intellect has always been more responsible than my emotions for how I respond to the world.

Yes I think I'm okay, walked into the door again.

Last year's troubles, They shine up so prettily, They gleam with a lustre they don't have today.

Writing in other voices is almost Japanese in the sense that theres a certain formality there which allows me to sidestep the embarrassment of directly expressing to complete strangers the most intimate details of my life.

You have to defend your honor. And your family.

So you eat, you sleep, and then this wonderful child comes out, but you don't feel like you have any control over that process, over her, over her character and who she is.
