Take one off to feel pride in who you are
Take one off to come together with others
Take one off to say you will survive
hiding from myself
living close always alone
wishing acceptance

I flew into Chicago and my youngest brother and his father (my stepfather) met me at the plane (remember the days when you could do that?) and brought me home. The next evening was the wake. I had a chance to catch up with a few cousins and my aunts and uncles.
