A gem is not polished without rubbing, nor a man perfected without trials.
So, it's been one hell of a week ...
Where to begin.....Organized thought probably isn't going to be my strong suit right now. It's been a crazy stressful week.
Work isn't the greatest right now, although truthfully it's been going downhill for awhile. Talked to the bosses early in the week and it seems they're probably just going to bandage the issues/situation yet again. I told them that I'm starting to hate coming to work everyday and I'm considering a move to another department. They don't want to lose me but unless things drastically change, the first opportunity I'm outta this dept.
Things at home have been hectic. As most of you know nytefox threw the boy out of the house. I won't divulge into the specifics of it as most of you are on his lj as well. But it's been stressful ever since. He's handling it quite well and I'm very proud of him for sticking to his guns. I'm behind him 100%. Yesterday his parents and I packed up the boy's things and today we're dropping them off at his grandparents' house. After that we have company coming over and will be grilling out. So the company will be a nice change. Even though both of us are tired as hell. We don't have to get up for anyone tomorrow so there will be some serious sleeping in, barring the cats don't have other ideas in mind. Truthfully I'm welcoming a peaceful weekend but I expect it to be busy none the less. Hell, I need another vacation lol. At least come labor day we have a 3 day weekend so I have that to look foward to.
Now, the time has come to move forward and with each new day things will improve. Many heartfelt props go out to nytefox for handling the situation and aftermath so well...at least on the outside. Love ya baby. You're a good man. *hugs*
Why did you steal the matches
From the one room motel
Once they gave you answers
Now they give you hell
They will never understand
They wonder where did they go wrong
How could you be so selfish
Why cant you get along
And as you pray in your darkness
For wings to set you free
You are bound to your silent legacy
Youve seen it in the movies
And youve heard it on the street
Craving the affection
Your blood is full of heat
They dont listen to your reasons
As original as sin
Deny all that you feel
And they will bring you home again
And as you pray in your darkness
For wings to set you free
You are bound to your silent legacy
Your body is alive
But no one told you what youd feel
The empty aching hours
Trying to conceal
The natural progression
Is the coming of your age
But they cover it with shame
And turn it into rage
And as you pray in your darkness
For wings to set you free
You are bound to your silent legacy
You are digging for the answers
Until your fingers bleed
To satisfy the hunger
To satiate the need
They feed you on the guilt
To keep you humble keep you low
Some man and myth they made up
A thousand years ago
And as you pray in your darkness
For wings to set you free
You are bound to your silent legacy
Mothers tell your children
Be quick you must be strong
Life is full of wonder
Love is never wrong
Remember how they taught you
How much of it was fear
Refuse to hand it down
The legacy stops here
