Man On The Corner

“Like a monkey on your back

You need it

But do you love it enough 

To leave it” 

Never White

“Black is the truth

Of my situation,

And for those 

Of my station

In life.

All other colors lie. ” 

—Suzanne Vega.

Bastards of Young

“The ones 

Who love us 

Best,

 

Are the ones

We’ll lay 

To rest,

 

And visit

Their graves 

On holidays

At best.

 

The ones 

Who love us

Least, 

 

Are the ones

We’ll die

To please.” 

Serious Pang

“Sometimes

It’s like someone 

Took a knife, baby,

 

Edgy and Dull,

 

And cut

A Six-Inch Valley

Through the middle 

Of my Soul.”

 

 

—I’m On Fire, Bruce Springsteen.
