Charming and attentive, seemingly sincere You became everything I needed And wanted to hear Until, my life knew nothing but fear. The emotional abuse drove me insane Claiming […]

My humanity became your playground My heart the strings you played My emotions your only amusement In a game you loved to play.

The road to SUCCESS is not straight. There are curves called FAILURE A loop called CONFUSION Speed bumps called FRIENDS Red lights called ENEMIES Caution lights called FAMILY And you will have flats called JOBS. But… If you have a spare called DETERMINATION An engine called PERSEVERANCE Insurance called FAITH And a driver called JESUS You […]
