I am annoyed that this narrow moment Is all my brain can see That whatever feeling or thought I’m having Is a cage I pace the walls until …relief! A new perspective arrives And my souls sighs Blowing wind in my sails And onward we go *whatever moment you’re having, know it will end. End […]
“Well I just don’t feel that strongly It’s so messy I don’t understand why you are so passionate“ And the cold fish backs away hastily A look of horror on their face Tears for a sunset Are out of place Depth is so deep And shallow so much safer And their mind has never been […]
