Somewhere, in bed, many...

I am sorry, but you don't understand meI am sorry, but you don’t understand me

Use Time Expediently
Use Time Expediently
Written: by Miracle Man

Yesterday’s are always unforgiving,
for hourglass sand can’t defy gravity.

Love Is Life Itself

Boy With An EyeBetwixt the vibrant threads of a busy bazaar,
A foreigner's gaze seize on a singular star,
A boy with one eye, an enigma raid,

in the trail of summer squall,

Don’t make your mind
a sprawling forest of forlornness.
In descending dismal dusk,

Take a chance
Did you roll the dice
Knowing it was your vice
For to take a chance

So did you go for it
Confident that you had the fit
So in the end you just smiled
No sense...

How things work in their own way
And decisions that you take
May be different once you wake
For the world will turn away

VoicesMom, Dad, I hope you are doing well.
Because honestly I am going through hell.
And I don't expect you to understand.
Because NOBODY else can.
I can't even say that I'm fine.
Because honestly that's another line.
Another line that...
