HIDDEN PAIN OF THE EYES
Those who say, "In these eyes, there’s peace untold," What do they know, these eyes have witnessed storms unfold.

Mother and Daughter
Mother and Daughter I wake to hear you crying, calling out to me. I wearily open my eyes, it’s only half past 3. I sigh, roll over, cover my ears, trying to ignore. But your persistent need for me, just grows more and more. Eventually I go to you, and see you’ve wet the bed.…
Deep
You can’t avoid it, it’s all over the news. Every clip and video, millions of views. Varying opinions, not all of them healthy. Is all this attention because they were so wealthy? Some people say it serves them right, others post a meme. These situations aren’t as simple as they seem. Just becaus...
