Rinsed Plight

Cast a net on my emotions oh glorious one Help me catch these feelings that now overwhelm me I am drowning in a river of my own demise Setting aside all that I know to be the truth; your word Only to erect these false monuments of ideals that do not have foundation in the […]

Why So Dramatic

My nights are short while my days are long and the reality of it all gagged by nothing more than a dream and hope that it will all pay off in the end. I refuse to receive any credit from the lenders for they are a Shylock to my story playing the principal antagonist. They stand […]
