I see my reckless behavior I see me dive headfirst into bullshit To forget But this writing thing It keeps me grounded Keeps me feeling it I liked it before how I could drink And smash shit Smile and keep it movin But I was so faded My soul started screaming So I uncaged itContinue reading “Before and After”

Until Then, I Write
I am here and I am not leaving I am in love and I will not stop loving This place is what I’ve created for us And I will continue to keep creating it for years to come I will wait I will cry And I will write Until you are wrapped in arms ofContinue reading “Until Then, I Write”
