There is something wrong Heli Can’t figure it out Too many tears fall But what’s it about   All seems to be well No reason to cry So what do I fear While not knowing why   Time’s before I’d thought Sad of the back-end That I would not write For my closest friend  … Read more »

Took a Trip

I tripped and fell into a hole A holy never-ending ditch And gravity, it took control From high to low, I made the switch And, it’s been hard, to face the climb I’ve tried to start, yet slip once more Frozen like ice, you’re stuck in time A constant fight, your self’s at war At… Read more »
