Words (2)
Words (2) The pen is my instrument And life my mentor An extraordinary journey Questioning what’s in store A burgeoning dream To heal our pain Writing about fears Sheltering from the rain Exorcising demons With our blood for ink Pulling me back From teetering on the brink We may heal ourselves From the wounds ofContinue reading “Words (2)”
Jerk
