I like it this way,
more merry to me,
I can think what I want,
and they just let me be.

the secret of knowing,
Your outsides within,
is the strangest of hope
you can share with your kin.

    Right could win me, 
    Front or back could block. 
    I could become a famous tool, 
    Or infamously triumph,
