The first time my brothers saw me, when I was a day or two old and still in the hospital, my brother Mark could not pronounce the name "Kimberley," and I was an especially happy baby, so he decided it would be easier to call me "Happy." From that moment on, my family members never used the name Kimberley. I was forced, however, to use my given name while attending school. As soon as I turned sixteen, my name was legally changed to Happy Tyler Rhodes. As far as I'm concerned, it's the ony name I've ever had. When people ask me if it's my real name, I always say "yes."

I am shielded from the flame
Although the guilty parties
Take no blame.

Color on my face.
My past is warpaint.
The past is warpaint.

In a human world;

Be there when you dream

Can't figure why
Made I this choice

Words were spoken, 'tween him and me:
"I had friends, yes, I was admired

at life in rewind
And wishes he had known these things
while still alive.

Someone chose her above all other women they had known

It's never been me
If ever I see a chosen one I feel ugly

When the rain came down — bigger than the sea
When the rain came down — then came me.

Tell me do you think at all?

An open book;
There's no choice in the matter
But the breath from my mind
Is living air,

Are what I share.

Things you say without your brain.
Will you paint works of art
When you speak?
When you open your mouth
Will I weep?
