'Party hearty' ~ a mantra for our youth; nights portenting frenzied, mindless pleasures... stimuli quelling feared and darker truths; loneliness the yardstick of their measure. Merriment whispers of promised escape; of shelter from rejection and sorrows... then flees in cowardly fear of daybreak ~ defeated by encroaching tomorrows. Cacophony and drunkeness distract; anesthetize the lost and wounded soul... the new day's dawn refuses to look back ~ the sum of the remnants make not a whole. Party for now but keep the curtains drawn... reality looms in the coming dawn.
