"A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity..." Proverbs 17:17 I guess I didn't have any in the first place.After all of my transgressions,I've transitioned into a life of loneliness now that I've healed my past aggression.And,I'm glad I'm alone and peaceful,Instead of sharing my new found energy with those...

A Three-Piece I’m Not Hungry For – Day 28, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Ties,Ties,Ties!They just don't suit me right.Feels more like,A noose choking to death,The kind of tranquil man I yearn to become in a world ran by financial success and duress,And…A suit is not part of who I am,Nor ever will it be for as long as I hold a journal and a pen… It's the only...

Who Rang?
Baby,I really waited all of this time.Patient for the arrival of your beauty while trapped inside of my own mind. Hoping every text or call I received would be from you,Even if you weren't mine!Anymore...
