Feet of clay or just plain human

Though heroes fail us
The ideal they stand for stays
Don’t let them steal hope

It's hard when people you look up to fail in some way to live up to your image of them. Sometimes it's as though they betrayed you but think about it...did they betray you or just the unrealistic image you built up of them. Everyone is human and humans are fallible.

Late Night Cynicism

people try so hard
to make the world a good place

What's your frame?

define the "genre"
choose characters, point of view
and the story's yours

our dear little stripe
passed from us embraced by love
comforted by friends
