I hope you find it

I hope you keep it

Save it forever

And keep it close to your heart.

12/30 4:51

I thought that I had all the answers.

But now I know that I was dumb.

I felt the truth behind the speeches.

Now the rest of us are numb.

ANCHOR

I hope you find it

I hope you keep it

Save it forever

In the dresser by your bed.

Reread your letter.

Just didn’t get it.

I read between the lines 

now understand it better.

Thieves oil is thick here.

Where’s the diffuser.

Can you afford to spend so much when you’re 

a loser?

Had all the answers.

I was dumb. (It was the rum)

I felt the truth beneath the speeches.

Now every one is numb.

I thought that I had all the answers.

But now I know that I was dumb.

I felt the truth beneath the speeches.

And now the rest of us are numb.
