They cry in the dark
So you can't see their tears
They hide in the light
So you can't see their fears
From a friend:
"I was in jail, I was a mess. I didn't kill anyone. I didn't hurt or assault anyone but my children suffered. I just did stupid stuff. I wasn't responsible. I failed my family. My family moved in with my mother-in-law and her mother. So after I saw a news story from a jail cell about the Russian collapse in the early '90s and how a grandmother died of exposure waiting in a rations line, the next day I got a letter about my mother-in-law hitting my daughters.
Everyday now I hope that was the low point in my life because I'll tell you for sure, stupid can hurt."
