I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tear, and sweat. -Winston Churchill

I don't trust anyone.
They gather in groups sorting out my lies,
Connecting worlds with the small bits of truth
They're fun to watch, like paper wasps
Trying to delve into my wounds with their stingers.
I'm closed like a solid wall of concrete,
And they're trying to break through with a stick of chalk.
