Hot air, blown into balloons Holding threads, I grip them tightly The winds of change cause them to jostle Rubber has the oddest sound A screech and groan I lift off my toes And I am flying The wind at least has a purpose But it blows in all directions The person who clings to […]
Mass produced is so 2019. It gives me a rash, literally. My skin has been deteriorating and I thought it was just age and never really questioned the products I have been using or my slap dash approach to skincare lately.
