Fly High
A lament I hate this affliction It’s like hooks in the brain Dragging me to the floor Assaulting me again It keeps my dreams out of reach And my hopes under siege It hits me with sticks So that I bruise and bleed It blacks out my eyes And burns out my drive Extinguishes my… Continue reading
