&quot;You may trod me in the very dirt, but still like dust i&#039;ll rise&quot; - unknown<br /> &quot;no matter how far you go down the wrong path, you can always turn back&quot;<br /> &quot;once you hit rock bottom, theres nowhere to go but up&quot;

I’ll take these long ropes made of memories
Wrap them tight around your neck
You’ll soon regret all youve left behind
Unveiling your hand-made wreck
Ill lasso your heart real tight
Squeeze it til it bleeds
I’ll push you down the road of guilt
And see just where it leads
I’ll watch you stumble, watch you wander,
Wonder where you’re going
Secretly begging you to walk this way
And stop our tears from flowing.

This is about my oldest stepbrother. His mom is trying to pull him away from his dad and i, leaving my mom and his dad fighting a lot. This is a plan i had about guilt-tripping him into coming back to visitng us. i never acted on that plan and my two stepbrothers ended up moving to florida.

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;
