I tried to help, but did not understandand so I cried; I was your distraction,you stopped to console with loving actionyour care, my love, offered with no demand. With your support, upon my legs I standlike I walk on ice; with you, my tractioncarries me to our next interaction.You are there regardless of what you... Continue Reading →
Upon my shoulders the world has been placed;my burden, against my will and protest.I, a bird, return to an empty nest;my potential plundered, and then displaced. The badge I wear leaves me feeling disgraced,revolted by the skin in which I’m dressed.My path and progression have both been pressedand I am hollowed by my hate and... Continue Reading →

Even when awake, I see he sleepwalks;he tries so hard to move from day to day,but his barriers never go away.He tries so hard to hide it when he talks; if people saw the truth they would be shockedthat behind the laughter, smiling and playis a man who from his own path has strayedand now...

Chaos; their downfall and their sordid shield,this small government of one trick ponies.Inexperienced, out of touch phonies;who grasp a fiery sword too hot to wield This cabinet lacks experts of the field;all opportunists or Johnson’s cronies.Waste of nation’s time on ceremonies;another option most found unappealing and while Corbyn’s loss may be Starmer’s gainwill this new...
