Who are You?

Who do you think you are? After that bowtie, after the hair? Who is the person residing Behind all the makeup and care? What do you think? No. Rather, believe? What keeps you up at night That makes you look back, consider, or leave? The mask, the façade, the whatever It’s all just a sham, … More Who are You?

Forward

It’s often that i see this If truth were to be told Despite the goal: inspire It turns warmth to bitter cold If ever you are struggling If ever you are down Remember they don’t matter And that words can’t bring you down For often will you hear, when You are looking far ahead That … More Forward

Survive

What fire burns, deep within When darkness falls, and days are grim What ember lives, while others wain Choked in silence, succumbed to pain What force shall hold, as others die Stuck, complacent, teethe and writhe What echo sounds, when others fade Like leaves of autumn, drift away What branch grows old, as others fall … More Survive
