From the darkest of nights Dawns the brightest of days The best is yet to come Fear is real, tangible Yet I will not listen to it I am no longer a slave to such things Hope is my dawn Faith is my armor A new day, is what awaits
Afraid For The Future
I’m no politician, no expert, I find the whole thing so utterly distasteful & corrupt that I try to stay away. I live my life the best I can (most of the time), enjoy myself & try to make a small positive impact in the world. Yet at times it is hard to ignore it... Continue Reading →
