Dear Mom,

I haven't called you
but I am still as good as gold
or just as you remember me

I am pure and i made everything my fault
I have found new friends I care about
I am clear-headed now that I have lost what I did not deserve
I lost it by leaving it behind
I left it because I chose to be free
and then I messed with every girl in town.
I built a reputation there - with pleasure
My life has been disrupted
but i have plans
I am looking at a clean slate
I feel safer now that I have fallen
I am no longer eating on the past
tonight i am going out on a date
i love you

Patrick
