Preface​

This poem was born from a war I fight that no one else sees.
It is about weed, yes.
But more than that, it's about the slow unraveling of life when an escape becomes routine, and routine becomes a prison.
It's about being surrounded by smoke. Not just in the air but in the mind, the mirror, and all the moments that matter.

This is me. Trying, failing, and trying again.
I choose to keep trying cause when there is peace and clarity I remember what it's like to be me.
I remember who I am when I'm free.
I miss that man.
So I wrote this to bring him back, and keep him around.

Emi is the kind of person who surprises you. Not because she changes, but because she finally lets you see what was always there. She's stepping into the light, joining communities she once only watched from afar, making a name for herself where she belongs.

She is quick-witted, impossibly funny, and—despite her best efforts—endearing when drunk.

A mix of warmth, mischief, and competitive fire.

She is still growing, still unfolding, still learning how to take up space. But make no mistake—Emi is already brilliant. Already strong. Already exactly who she's meant to be.

This is for her.

In every life, there exists someone who brings light by simply being. This poem is for Anna, whose nurturing spirit, resilience, and warmth have made a house into a home. Like a flower that draws strength from the sun yet remains delicate in its beauty, she embodies both tenderness and remarkable strength.

A musical tale of mischief, adventure, and pet shenanigans

Introduction​

Before we begin this epic ballad, a quick introduction to our protagonists:

Stinker Bell (a.k.a. Stink Rat) - My clever, slightly murderous cat who dreams of outdoor adventures and bird hunting.

Meat Head (a.k.a. Duke, Lugnut, the Nasty) - My lovable, not-so-bright hound who has never met a smell he didn't want to roll in or a disgusting thing he wouldn't eat.

Now, grab a drink, imagine a tavern melody (specifically "Ragnar the Red" from Skyrim), and enjoy the ballad of my ridiculous pets.
