Teacher who shouted at me became an offering
To a museum. Cracked my […] -

Fingers-cold-numb. They are my bright-stars of all time. I didn’t just see them as singers but children-protected-by-their-loving-and-financially-secure-parents-and-sane. The brother-and-sister that I wanted […]

AbigailGeorge wrote a new post, My Edward 9 years, 6 months ago

HTMM wrote a new post, Love Hallways 9 years, 6 months ago

M.Makunga wrote a new post, Cheetahs 9 years, 6 months ago
They are senseless

wild animals when
it comes to their prey.Their swiftness when

Kribo wrote a new post, Just Too Late 9 years, 6 months ago
Don’t you think it’s a little too late;
