6 Aug 2021 1 minute read 0 comments DaBea

Dragging around the American Dream. Pulling around this carcass of war - rotting flesh, the want for more. Can't close your eyes to block the stench. Can't keep a smile while holding the wrench that fixes the cogs that spin the wheels, run red black...

EmptyHer sorrow,her words,both became my own.In silence, I slowly suffocateas I sit home all alone.The weary mirror looks like dyingand says I'm human waste.Wandering down the same old lane,it's time to cease to sell.With an arm around my old friend,...
