Little Shadow

She dreamed of someone who couldn’t quite be placed 

The little girl's eyes dim, deprived of reality

Seeking shelter within the nightmare 

Running close, yet so far to the intention of understanding herself 

Why is she running 

Fleeing the war of external threats and internal conflicts 

I feel sadness for this little girl, neglected from childhood, and love

Indeed all too familiar to see 

My emotions captivate, maybe the little girl is me

    Anomalies frolicking within a broken antidote 
    Smoky clouds shelter the falling of the sky 
    Neglected agriculture stands bare of love and cherish 
    A flower, alone in a field of grass
  • Humors place in my life

    Humor has always been there for me . A joke here and there could really make an impact you are not aware of. There is no hiding the joy of humor. You can hide sadness, you can hide fear, and definitely hide anger. But humor is different.
  • Uncertain Future

    The sun has arisen for a beautiful new day. It's a morning like every other, some people say. But what is sly and getting close. Is what nature is fearing the most. The pollution in the air invisible but the Statistics are not.
