Fame or Infamy

I see it in everyone’s faces. It’s taboo. But only they pity me. It is shut up like that topic. I am well known, but it is through fear. What can I do when I have turned to the Lord and the drink to forgive me. I don’t know how to.

I thought I had feelings for others.

I don’t. Because it is a daily struggle, an epic adventure to get through life as a known murderer. The audience I have created and stage that is set is based through fear. For am I famous or infamous? That’s what I ponder every night.
