The past is a burden that haunts.
We relish in what we have, it taunts.
Like the neverending boomerang of life,
Slicing through the air like a knife.
I don't think I'm being pretentious,
When I say what's next is relentless.
The world we live in is a lie.
All of us live, and we die.
The past it controls our decisions.
It holds us captive, it imprisons.
I mean not to sound so dismal.
But to live in the past should be criminal.
We all have the power and knowledge.
So step up and let us acknowledge.
To change, you must make a stance.
Life is exquisite, just give it a chance.

I've Just Realized
The President doesn't understand music. There. It felt very good to write that; it's some thing I just realized today. Oh , yes; he plays it. He TRUMPets it in rallies and meetings, pumps it across the airwaves when he gathers up our minutes waiting for his late arrival.

The Angry Man in Your House
"If you grow up with an angry man in your house, there will always be an angry man in your house" This statement has caused plenty of controversy online, people say its a statement that blames victims while also undermining those who break traumatic cycles to form health relationships... but if I'm honest now that I'm in my 30s it makes more sense to me than ever, and I'd argue that its not just about fathers and uncles.
