Episode Twenty-Four: "The Bat"

Fly Above,
High In The Sky,
But Welcoming Darkness,
That's Who You Are.

From The Earliest I Recall,
T Had Been Thinking Of You,
As One Of Us,
All You Needed Was The Call,
As The Bat In The Night,
Your Sonar Radar,
Bark And Bite,
You Kept Your Heart In A Jar.

A Tall Building-Of-A-Man,
You Would Join The Clan,
For You Had Shown Z One Night Of Weakness,
That Venomous Uniqueness.

Had History Prior To Me,
Had Met The Wild Child And The Fireball,
I've Only Ever Heard Stories From The Main Three,
But What We Shared,
Is You Enjoyed Alcohol.

So Time Came Around,
And You Got Your Medal,
Welcome To Our World,
Half God Half Devil.

And Then I Preoccupied Myself With War,
I, Too, Was Trying To Soar.

But At Work You Were A Constant,
Never Left Like So Many Others,
Stuck To That Hellhole,
But You Missed Our Concept,
And Never Met My Brothers.

The Reasoning Was Not Because T Chose You,
But Because I Had Already Lost Myself,
Trying To Be King,
Should Have Never Touched The Books On The Bookshelf.

And So There Came That Night When We Hung Outside Of Work,
I Thought I Could Reveal My True Self,
Then Realized It Was Better Off A Different Way,
Leave It At Question Mark,
Let You Ask It Yourself,
And Avoid Having You Carry More Weight.
