“I have survived too much to go quietly.

I’m not sure if it was age or just the span of years that made me start to see everything so clearly Maybe it was when being more successful brought out true colorsMaybe it when I noticed my support system insignificantly shrunkor when the bare minimum just wasn’t even being reciprocated You just learn to move on…to keep moving…

A kissis not just a kissBut a constant subliminal wishJust another lengthy tripWhile our watches stop workingand the world is standing stillWhat is time to all those longingWhen things for us usually go downhillMy souls been out wanderingThe exhausted independent travelerSuch a long sleepless journeyMon chĂ©ri,I’ve been bettering meBeing freeand constantly- subconsciously searchingFor some peace…
