Cheers

Here's to bravery.

Here's to a house of peers, bitter and

callously sprawled, ready to pounce. 

Here's to making them laugh--

with you.

Here's to dancing alone

while your friends gossip.

Here's to your own damn drummer.

Here's to walking alone in the city.

Here's to stepping alone

into the dark room for

the light switch. Here's to

facing the demons on the

outside, and then looking in.

Here's to opening up.

Here's to looking up.

Here's to looking your enemy in

the eye, and smiling. Here's

to sitting kitty corner to the beast

(and knowing the wolf put you up to it).

Here's to your courage

Aye, I'd drink to that.
