Time can never mend
The careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind
Ignorance is kind
There's no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you'll find
Laughing in the face of danger, no quip or joke will save you.
Left in stitches, in a puddle of your own carelessness, a smile where you least expect it.

Babies breath and chrysanthemums
So beaming blue, these dreaming skies
In soundless sleep now close your eyes
'Til daylight, 'til daylight comes

I never felt the draw to battle that the others did. I received no joy from the pain of my opponents. No pride in their humiliation. No, I am not ashamed to bare a name of cowardice. If it makes me craven for working through problems with grace and intelligence, walking away from a conflict with a friend rather than a scar, then I am proud to bare the name Yellow Belly. At least those that will remember it will smile instead of wince."
