You fear, If it shattered, You’d pick the sharpest piece And cut your wrists… Continue reading

  • Central

    By: Keithayonna Davis Cesspools of lost dreams Could’ve beens Forgotten. No rolemodels to say this is how, if you wanna. Smudged Smoked Stinks of dead bodies Murky waters Aborted mistakes.
