Inside me
Inside us
The balance shifts
The weight heavy
The cross awaits
Time the judgement
In this place
We are...

without it there’s
no...

The dayA day full of cigarettes
A day full of riding,
Oh what a calmness
My face was full with dirt
And mind with lust,
I'm alone here
Like nobody else,
Living every hour

Cause it's only mine and mine..????

A Distant Goodbye
Make changes to break the cycle
Be mindful, always aware
Never create a fearful unsafe home
Always protect and care
Fear as his dads car pulled into the driveway
Watching the removal of his dads belt
Knowing what was coming next

There is a new low in the Trump hatred
