Fighting for the future But still stuck in the past Wanting to stand out But also fit in at last Feeling more secure But needing reassurance Supporting many people With myself as less important Wanting peace on earth But can’t get peace of mind Attacking those who oppose me But preaching how to […]
These past couple weeks has been a hell of a roller coaster for me. A very exhausting one. The one good thing about it is that it’s similar but far, far from as crazy as it was last year around this time. The first thing is my medication. Last year when the weather started getting […]
