I’m here to lay it out flat <br />So I know where we’re both at <br />I can’t come straight out clean <br />Writing out what I could never say <br />I guess speaking just isn’t my way <br />I’m sure you have a lotta questions now <br />Such as what, when, where, why and how <br />That’s why I’m here writing you <br />I don’t think you had a clue <br />I kept so much packed down inside <br />Yeah, my life’s been one wild ride <br />Fights and quarrels in the rough <br />That’s proly what makes this so tough <br />To tell anyone about the past <br />Who knows if friendships really last <br />When told how this really works <br />You know, the troubles, fears, and quarks <br />That no one sees at first glance <br />But all comes out once enhanced <br />Digging deep down under the skin <br />All pain comes out, every little sin <br />Every small careless detail <br />Escapes past that protective rail<br /><br />Brian Potthast<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/here-it-is-2/
