throw away your anger

I don't mean to sound ungrateful - I don't mean no harm. I'm just after something I can hold on to, something that will leave a lasting impression. I don't want you to be someone your not, and I don't want you to try and impress. I just want real, I want raw - I want the basics. I can't say I understand the act of killing something just to hold the trophy, I don't understand the need to defeat your opponents. Give me conversation without the frosting - give me company without the expectation. Tell me how it is, tell me fears, tell me triumphs. Just don't give me bullshit - and don't expect me to hold back from calling you on it. I'm not here to entertain or make you smile - but I'll be glad if who I am entertains you, or if how I entertain makes you smile. Don't ask me to be something I'm not to fit who you think I should be, and I won't ask you to fit the mold of something that everyone expected of you. We are who we are, we will grow and shrink and grow again. We will fight and talk and fuck and fight again. But if there is raw, if there is gravel road to stand on - if there is conversation without the bullshit.. it's all good. It's all gravy.
