Captive and lost in time A prey to a chain link oppression Freedom to reach everywhere and at any time was once a formality Pain and courage silenced by cold steel Blessings of a spring gust Brought momentum to push forth from the adversity Now this flightless bird has awoken now To begin once again […]

Don’t make me regret it

Fall in love with your problems Maybe they’ll leave you too It’s become strenuous to starve my distractions in order to feed my focus but it must be done Many succumb to the withdrawal of familiar desires And it’s funny how they try to move on but at the same time, hold on The world […]
