i had to leave my friends when i left home because there was no truth i was "allowed" to tell them about my life. All the secrets piled up into a wall of nothing left to talk about.

"How are you?" was a loaded question to ask me. I had to cut and run across the ountry to find a place where i could telll the freaking truth for a change.

They musta felt dumped. I dropped a line to one, my neighborhood best friend my whole childhood, after 35 years of ABRUPT silence and have yet to get a response.....
