An Outsider's Anthem
Take the advice of Johnny Cade.
Stay gold. Grow young to old.
Take care. Stay you. Explore the world.
Leave home. Stay true. Stay you. Take care.
Stay bold. Stay gold till the end.
It doesn’t matter if you’re an outsider.
Stay gold. Stay bold. Grow old. Take care.

A Year Away From 40
Most days you’re just a passive rider in life.
Your favorite poem when you were a kid was “A Dream Deferred.”
You grew up in a place where there was no future.
You grew up in a place where dreams were deterred.

Watching Him Drink
He drinks. He argues with me.
He drinks to strike fear in me.
Then he falls asleep.
He doesn’t remember.
He drinks, but he loves me.
He drinks. He doesn’t listen to me.
He argues with me. He drinks.
