FRAGMENTS


 

 

The dark of your pupil

sugar in your spoon

you act like a child

inexperienced and blind

scapegoat for everything

the splinter in my eye

your dark side rise

holding me back

I struggle

my future

becomes

clear

  6. WOW! How you’ve described that helplessness, is really quite amazing Amanda!!

    Your choice of image and song are perfect here! 🙂
    For a looooooooooooong time, Don’t Speak was my favorite song… I used to sing (more like croak) it all the time!! Even now, I involuntarily started singing it! 🙂
